In the crypto world, the scariest thing is not losing money, but losing money to the point of desperation while wanting to borrow more to recover.

Today, I want to share a true story about a seasoned investor who has endured since the bull market in 2021.

Last year, the market cut his account down to just 2000 U.S. dollars, nearly evaporating his 25,000 dollars. During that time, every time he opened the trading software, he wanted to uninstall it immediately—seeing others make money felt like watching an ex-girlfriend get married, making him feel sour and anxious, even considering taking out a loan to go all-in for one last chance.

Later, he came to me and without any small talk, just asked, 'Can I still turn things around?'

I said, 'Don't think about winning back your losses through luck; first, learn how not to lose anymore.'

So we started with the most basic training—only making one trade a day, ignoring the noise, and only following trend waves.

In the first 10 days, he rolled his 2000 U.S. dollars up to 3700 U.S. dollars. In the meantime, he made two wrong trades; he wanted to hold, but I directly told him to cut his losses. He smiled wryly and said, 'In the past, it was my unwillingness to cut losses that led to this situation.'

Once the rhythm stabilized, we began to accelerate the rolling positions—not recklessly going all in, but entering and exiting in batches, like practicing Tai Chi with both control and release.

For example, on the day Auntie broke through 2360, he positioned himself low, selling steadily at 2390, making over 80 points. I told him, 'Getting rich isn't about going all-in on one trade, but about steady, gradual control.'

Just like that, the account grew from 8600 to 14700, and finally, when Bitcoin broke out with volume, it shot up to 25400 U.S. dollars—just enough to break even.

That day, he said one thing: 'It turns out I wasn’t incapable of making money; I just didn’t know how to survive.'

This is not just a motivational story.

Finding the right rhythm + stabilizing your mindset + strict execution, that is the only answer to turning things around.
