From 1560U to 50,000U: How a deeply wounded old investor climbed back up
Last month, someone laughed at me, saying that 1560U wouldn't even make a splash. Now this number has turned into 50,000U—not through mysticism, but through lessons learned with real money.
Last year, when I suffered the worst losses, 200,000U vanished just like that. Chasing trends and using leverage, every time I thought I was about to turn things around, the market would pin me down and rub my face in it. I couldn't sleep all night; whenever my phone rang, I felt anxious, fearing it was a family member asking about my situation.
Later, I had an epiphany and changed three things:
I stubbornly stuck to my familiar battleground—no matter how tempting the new coins were, I only played with the two or three I understood best.
I waited for the trend to emerge before acting—spending 80% of my time waiting for that 20% golden opportunity.
I let profits generate profits—after making money, I would first withdraw my capital and then look for the next target with the remaining funds.
Starting from 1560U, the first 21 days were like a hard-working farmer planting crops, slowly rolling up to 8700U. On the 22nd day, I started to increase my bets, putting all my profits on the ETH swings I was most proficient at, executing 5 trades in a row, saving half of the profit each time I won. By the morning of the 34th day, my account showed 50,127U.
What matters is not the number, but that I finally found my trading rhythm again.
This approach is not suitable for gamblers—those who wish to get rich overnight have grass three meters high on their graves. But if you've also experienced despair, my detours might help you take fewer steps.
Friends who are considering quitting due to losses, what you might be lacking is not luck, but rather the ability to first learn to survive, then learn to make money like I did.
Specific operations? The market will tell those who are willing to listen.
