Survival Rules for Veteran Traders in the Crypto World - 7 Years of Blood and Tears Yield Trading Strategies
1. Position Management: Never go all in, surviving is the key
✅ Core Principle: Single coin position ≤10% (to prevent total loss) Total position ≤70% (leave 30% for re-entry) Stop-loss discipline: If principal loss exceeds 15%, cut losses forcibly
💡 Veteran Trader's Operation: "Earn coins in a bull market, earn USDT in a bear market - sell in batches when it rises, pyramid-rebuy when it falls, never go all in."
2. Trend Judgment: Only catch the body of the fish, do not guess the top or bottom
Bear Market Dollar-Cost Averaging: Invest monthly when BTC drops below the 200-week moving average (ignore short-term fluctuations)
Bull Market Top Escape Signals:
Exchange USDT premium turns negative
Weibo hot search shows "Bitcoin Makes You Rich"
Dramatic drop in miner holdings
📉 Blood and Tears Lesson: "Did not sell when 'Dogecoin to the Moon' was trending in May 2021, profits retracted by 80%."
3. Information Filtering: Stay away from noise, focus on on-chain data
Key Indicators:
Net inflow to exchanges (whale withdrawals = bullish)
Stablecoin market cap (USDC issuance = capital inflow)
Futures funding rates (high positive rates beware of price spikes)
🚫 Blocklist: "Groups for building positions with thousands of people," KOLs promoting "100x coins" on Twitter, and exchange homepage "surge recommendations"
4. Altcoin Strategies: Either be the first or do not touch
Phase Strategy:
Early Bull Market: Ambush low market cap + strong community coins (like 2023 ORDI)
Mid Bull Market: Only play new coins from exchange IEOs (sell within the first 3 days)
Late Bull Market: Switch back to BTC/ETH for survival
⚠️ Death Trap: "Picking up altcoins from ‘market maker pump groups’ has seen too many go to zero within 24 hours."
5. Contract Survival Techniques: Treat as a gamble, not as a livelihood
Extreme Rules:
Leverage ≤3x (high leverage leads to liquidation)
Only trade mainstream coins BTC/ETH (altcoin contracts = self-destruction)
Withdraw capital immediately after 50% profit
🎯 Harsh Reality: "In 5 years, I have seen over 200 contract traders, only 2 survived - both only did hedging arbitrage."
6. Mental Control: Resist FOMO and panic
Mechanical Execution:
Reduce position by 20% when breaking previous highs
Buy in batches when RSI
Ultimate Philosophy: "Do not envy others' 100x coins, do not regret selling early - only earn money within your understanding."
Ultimate Advice: 🔹 Save money in a bull market, accumulate coins in a bear market
🔹 All tokens will eventually be converted back to BTC
🔹 Living long is 100 times more important than earning fast
Current Survival Mantra for Retail Investors in the Crypto World: "Hold BTC at the midline, altcoins play guerrilla style; treat contracts as entertainment, keep USDT for market crashes."
