After losing 5 million, I only used 100,000 to survive in the crypto world

Sometimes I really feel that the most expensive thing in the crypto world is not cutting losses, but lessons learned

At that time, I only had 9,876 left in my account

That 5 million was lost bit by bit through trading various altcoins, following the crowd, believing in a few calls, and in the end, being repeatedly harvested to the point where I didn’t even dare to look at my phone

I really ate instant noodles for half a month, staring blankly at the screen every day.

Later, a friend sent me a message: "BTC has dropped to 24,000"

In that moment, it felt like the long-lost blood began to flow again

I didn’t gamble; I took out the last 100,000 and played the oldest way, rolling it up step by step

No more fantasizing about doubling, no more predicting skyrockets, only doing what is certain

The position never exceeds 5%, the stop loss at most 3%, every time I earn 100%, I forcibly withdraw 30%, and I don’t open the exchange even if it’s closed

I only trade BTC, and I don’t touch any altcoins

Do you want to hear about my first reversal trade?

Going long at 24,100 with 10x leverage, the contract fee was negative, and the premium on the CME side was particularly obvious

As soon as I entered, it dropped to 23,500, and I was about to be stopped out, but I kept my eyes on the order book and data, and I refused to cut losses; I even added margin to reduce leverage, and in the end, I held it to 27,900 and closed, making nearly 40,000

At that time, what I was thinking was not "I made money," but "I’m still alive"

With each subsequent trade, I was as careful as defusing a bomb. I caught the waves of ETH, BTC, and Thanksgiving, relying not on explosive gains, but on rhythm

Rolling from 100,000 to 5 million, I never relied on luck, only on two things:

One is being tough on myself, and the other is respecting the market

Now I have three screens: one for CME data, one for Binance reserves, and one for on-chain indicators

Don’t think I’m calm like a programmer now, but at that time, going from 5 million down to only 9,000, I also cried and broke down

Is this way of playing difficult? Honestly, it’s not hard; it’s just whether you are willing to execute it

A brother asked me if he still had over 3,000 U, can he turn it around like I did

I told him he can, as long as he dares not to go all-in on one trade, not to add to positions, and never hesitates to cut losses

There are no miracles in the crypto world; it's all about whether you dare to act after having died once.
