Most people lose not because cryptocurrency is hard — but because they overlook simple truths. They want high profits, but cannot grasp the basics. Here are the things that really help you survive in this market:
Rule #1: Fear of Missing Out, Don't Chase It. Q1 2025 saw $2 billion liquidated from trades driven by FOMO. When people are hyping a token, smart money has dried up. Buy the dip, don't buy the top.
Rule #2: Never Act Without an Exit Plan. You should know when and why you will sell—before you buy. Winners don’t 'see what happens.' They act.
Rule #3: Keep Cash. Cash isn’t lazy, it’s patient. Always have some cash ready, buy the blood.
Rule #4: Play the Long Game with Seasoned Players. Pursue builders. Ignore the hype. Overhyped communities will die off.
Rule #5: Trading More ≠ More Profit. In reality, overtrading can deplete your portfolio faster than a rug pull. Patience is also a position. Learn to sit still — it’s one of the most underrated skills in the game.
Rule #6: Risk Management Is Not Optional. Not setting a stop-loss? That’s your stop-loss. Only risk 1–2% on each trade. One bad bet shouldn’t wipe out your capital.
Rule #7: Write Your Own Thesis, Otherwise You Will Have to Borrow from Others. Know exactly why you hold a token. Blind faith = blind losses. The narrative is more important than the noise.
This is not magic. But it works. Because almost no one actually follows through. Here’s how my friend turned his fortune around: 'No Leverage. No Lottery Tickets. Only Discipline.'
A bear market is a test, a bull market is a reward but only if you’ve survived and now you know how to survive.
