Tony once said: Only those who survive in the crypto world until the end are qualified to talk about making money!!!
Too many newbies come in fantasizing about making a fortune with hundredfold coins, unaware that experienced traders are studying every day how to "not lose money" 💸 Today, I will reveal all the survival rules I've been keeping secret; after reading this, you can lose less than 100,000!
🛡️ First Rule: Stop loss is your lifesaver! The 3% stop-loss rule must be ingrained in your DNA.
✨ Bloody lesson: In 2021, Luna fell from $100 to $0.0001; how many believed in "value investing" and held on, only to end up with nothing left!
✅ Iron Rule: If a single loss reaches 3% of your total capital, cut it immediately! Don't believe in the nonsense of "what if it rebounds"; in the crypto world, there is no "what if", only "going to zero"!
💡 Tip: Set up automatic stop loss in your trading software, and anyone who accidentally cancels it gets a slap on the wrist!
🔍 Second Point: Cognition is the ceiling for making money! Don't touch coins you don't understand.
❌ Newbie misconception: "Everyone is rushing to buy dog coins, so I should go all in too!"
✅ Experienced players' strategy:
- Only play Bitcoin and Ethereum (you can survive just by buying with your eyes closed)
- Altcoin position ≤ 20% (the remaining 80% is your lifesaving money)
💬 True case: My close friend followed the trend to buy new coins last year; starting with 50,000, she turned it into 150,000 in 3 days, but greed led her to lose 20,000 in the end...
📈 Profit-taking strategy:
- Sell half when it rises 50% (get back the original investment first)
- Sell half again when it rises 100% (secure the profit)
- Hold the remaining position until the end of the bull market (earn the final wave while lying down)
💔 Cautionary tale: When Dogecoin surged, someone turned 100,000 into 5 million without taking profits, and ended up leaving with only 200,000 after it fell back...
📋 Third Trick: Use rules instead of emotions! These 3 iron rules must be followed.
✨ Trading discipline:
1. Only buy coins within the top 50 by market cap
2. After a 10% drop, build positions in batches (don’t go all in at once)
3. After 3 consecutive losses, stop for 1 week (rest to survive longer)
💰 Fifth Layer: Compound interest is the key to wealth! But the prerequisite is "survive"
⚠️ Key prerequisites:
- Keep maximum loss within 15% (don’t let one mistake ruin everything)
- Only use profits to increase positions (original capital should remain untouched)
- Accumulate coins in a bear market and cash out in a bull market (those who do it the opposite way suffer huge losses)
💬 Example around me: A friend made 5 times from DeFi in 2020 but didn't cash out, and by 2023 lost it all playing dog coins...
Finally, here’s a three-word mantra for you: Don't be greedy, don't leverage, don't show off!
In the crypto world, there is no such thing as getting rich overnight; only those who survive can wait for the wind to come 🌪️
