In the cryptocurrency world, the scariest thing isn't losing money, but losing everything and still wanting to borrow money to turn the tables.
Let me share a true story.
I know an old investor who has endured since the bull market of 2021 until now. Last year, during a wave of market movement, he lost from 25,000 USDT down to just 2,000 USDT. During that time, he told me that every time he opened the trading app, he wanted to uninstall it immediately. Watching others make money felt like seeing an ex-girlfriend get married—sour and painful, yet he kept thinking about borrowing money to take another gamble.
Later, he came to me and asked: "Is there still hope?"
I said: "Don’t think about borrowing to recover losses, first learn to stop losing money."
We set three strict rules:
Only make one trade a day, avoid choppy markets and focus on trends.
If wrong, cut losses, never hold onto losing positions.
After making a profit, roll over in batches, avoid going all in at once.
In the first 10 days, he grew 2,000 USDT to 3,700 USDT. There were two times he wanted to hold onto losing trades, but I forced him to cut them. He himself said: "If I had known it would be cut this way, I wouldn’t have lost so much."
Later, the rhythm stabilized, and he started to accelerate his rolling trades. I remember one time when ETH broke 2,360, he bought in at a low of 2,390, securing over 80 points. I told him: "Getting rich isn’t about one all-in bet, but continuous control."
Just like that, his account grew from 8,600 to 14,700, and finally, taking advantage of Bitcoin’s breakout, he directly jumped to 25,400 USDT—just enough to break even.
That day he said one thing: "It turns out I can make money; I just didn’t know how to stay alive."
This isn’t just motivational talk. Finding the right rhythm + stabilizing your mindset + strict execution is the core of turning things around.
Now that the market is rising again, are you ready to continue chasing highs and cutting losses, or will you change your way of living?
Sometimes, setting up in advance is more important than chasing highs...
