I've seen too many people rush into the crypto world with dreams of getting rich, only to end up unable to protect their principal.

The cruelty of this market lies in its ability to give you double the surprise in one day, yet also make you lose everything in one hour. Those who can survive for a long time are never the ones with the best luck, but those who prioritize 'survival' as their first goal.

First, set a 'safety line' for your funds

The first step to surviving is to never bet all your assets. The rule I set for myself is: the money invested in the crypto world must be 'disposable income that won't affect my life if lost.'

A couple of years ago, a friend mortgaged his house to trade crypto, and when the bear market hit, he directly lost his supply and is still repaying debts. A true survival expert always has a 'backup' in their account—no matter how tempting the market is, they will leave 30% of their funds to buy stablecoins, just like equipping a boat with a lifeboat; no matter how rough the seas, they can catch their breath.

Position management is another line of defense. Mainstream coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum) account for 70%, familiar altcoins account for 20%, and only 10% can be allocated to high-risk assets.

This 'pyramid structure' allows you to lose less during crashes and keep up with the rhythm during rebounds. I've seen too many people invest all their funds in an unknown small coin, celebrating when it rises, but having no chance to recover when it falls.

Establish your own 'information filtering network'

Every day in the crypto world, there is a massive amount of information: 'Some big shot increased their position,' 'Some project is going to surge,' 'Regulators are going to tighten checks'... 90% of it is noise. Those who survive all have a set of standards for filtering information: check the project's official website and white paper first, rather than listening to hype in the community.

Trust market data (on-chain transfers, exchange balances) instead of 'insider information'; trust official announcements from regulators rather than hearsay.

A method from an old player is very practical: list out commonly used information sources and conduct a 'fact-check' once a week—see which predictions were accurate and which were proven wrong, gradually eliminating unreliable channels.

Over time, your information base will naturally become cleaner, and the probability of making mistakes will decrease.

Put a 'brake valve' on your emotions

The most frightening thing in the crypto world is not the market trend, but people's emotions. When prices rise, you want to chase; when they fall, you want to cut losses. This instinctive reaction often leads you to buy at the highest point and sell at the lowest.

Those who survive understand to 'insure' their emotions: set predetermined buy and sell points and mechanically execute when they reach those points, without giving your mind a chance to think 'just wait a bit longer.'

I have a 'cooling-off period' rule: any single transaction exceeding 10% of the principal must be decided after a night. Many times, it's this rule that helped me avoid impulsive mistakes. The market won't close just because you wait an extra day; instead, it rewards those who can control their emotions.

Always keep a 'turnaround fund' in reserve

I've seen many people who were doing well, but due to one greedy leveraged trade, lost all their previous profits. Leverage is like installing a booster on a car while removing the brakes; for a novice, it's like driving at high speed with their eyes closed.

Those who survive either resolutely avoid leverage or keep their leverage ratio within 3 times, setting automatic liquidation lines to never give the market the chance to 'wipe them out.'

More importantly, continue to 'recharge.' The crypto world changes too quickly; last year's profitable methods may be ineffective this year. Those who have survived for over five years dedicate 1-2 hours daily to learn new things: new public chain technologies, new regulatory policies, new application scenarios...

They don't avoid mistakes but learn from them, strengthening their 'survival skills'.

In the end, the survival rule in the crypto world is simply this: put risk before reward. Those who always want to 'make quick money' are like dancing on the edge of a knife—exciting to watch, but they could fall at any moment.

Those who understand to take it slow and steady can go far in this market. After all, surviving gives you the chance to wait for your own market opportunity.
