The first bucket of gold, I made it in the cryptocurrency circle.

If you want to turn your life around in the cryptocurrency market and get rich from a wave of market trends, I advise you to wake up early.

The market is an opportunity, but those who truly obtain their first bucket of gold have never relied on 'gambling'.

I have seen too many people enter this circle, thinking they can get rich overnight, and after years have passed, they are still victims of being harvested. It's not that you aren't smart enough; it's that you fundamentally do not understand the rules of this game.

If you want to make money in this industry, you must first understand a few truths:

Trading short-term does not mean making random bets.

Many people trade short-term out of impatience as soon as the market opens, chasing uptrends and holding onto downtrends, without setting stop-losses or profit targets. True experts in short-term trading are not impulsive; they prepare in advance and control the pace of the market.

Contracts are knives, not lottery tickets.

Leverage amplifies profits when the direction is right, but if you don’t even understand your own direction, do you dare to start with 20x leverage? You think you're going long, but in reality, you're gambling with your life.

Most people do not perish due to technical failure; they perish due to emotional failure.

They get greedy when they make money, hold on when they lose money, act hastily when anxious, and panic when fearing they’ll miss an opportunity. This isn’t trading; this is being high.

To put it bluntly, the cryptocurrency circle is not paradise; it is a mix of a casino and a jungle.

Those who survive and make money are never the smartest; they are the clearest-headed.

You need to have your own system:

It’s not about following tips, not about staring at the charts, and not about relying on others in groups.

It’s about understanding how much loss your capital can bear, how to control the pace, when to pull back, and when to follow through.

The first bucket of gold is not based on luck; it’s about avoiding 99% of the pitfalls.

You see others making thousands or tens of thousands a day, and you feel tempted.

But you haven’t seen how they endured the struggles behind the scenes. Not everyone has the time or life to step into pitfalls and start over, so you must learn to wake yourself up by learning from others' pitfalls.

I know a young man who entered the market with 3000 USDT, messed around and lost 2400, and when he had less than 600 left, he came to me. I only taught him three things:

Every order must have a reason.

Set your take-profit and stop-loss without hesitation.

Limit your trading to no more than three times a week.

Three months later, his account turned into 15,000. Now, he is as steady as a dog; he hides when the market gets chaotic and only charges when opportunities arise, a pure rhythm-controlling machine.

So if you want to make your first bucket of gold in the cryptocurrency circle, really, stop thinking about taking shortcuts.
