Surviving is the greatest victory
I remember that day at three in the morning, the number on the screen froze at 3000U. Hundreds of thousands of dollars turned to dust, my fingers hovered over the keyboard, but I didn't know which key to press. That feeling was like standing on the edge of a cliff, without even the strength to jump.
But it was this last 3000U that brought me back. Not by a reckless gamble, but by completely changing my way of living.
1. Only play with the coins I am most familiar with
Those newly listed "hundred times coins"? They are all harvesters. I deleted all the altcoins and focused solely on ETH. Over time, I could even sense when the market maker was about to intervene.
2. Kicked the addiction of chasing highs and cutting losses
I used to be like a gambler, chasing bullish candles and cutting losses on bearish ones. Later, I learned to draw support and resistance in advance, entering the market only when fear was at its peak, like picking up chips stained with others' blood.
3. Treat trading like farming
No longer staring at the screen every day, I learned to wait. Missing ten opportunities is fine, but as long as I seize one right chance, I can eat well. 3000U is the last seed; once it's gone, it's truly gone.
From 3000U to 50,000U, there was no miraculous operation, just the simple strategy of repeating actions. Cut losses decisively when needed and hold firm when it's time to stay put.
Now I see many people fall hard after liquidation, and I want to say: as long as there is still U in the account and goods in the mind, there is always a chance to turn things around.
But first, you must survive until the next bull market.
As for how to operate specifically? Some things are useless to talk about too much. It's like teaching swimming; you can never learn without getting in the water. But at least my experience can tell you: where the deep waters are, and where you can catch your breath.
I have crawled through this path, and now I can tell you where the pitfalls are. Whether to avoid them, that's up to you.
(Lastly, here’s a little Easter egg: the pitfalls I’ve stepped in over the years are more than the U in your account now...)
