I brought him from 1200U to 48,000U, and in the end, I blocked him. This story may help you understand: "Turning around" in the crypto world is never the end; it is a constant test of human nature.
He was a typical "scared of losing yet unwilling to give up" retail investor. When he found me, his account had just been liquidated, leaving only 1200U. Late at night, he often said: "If I lose one more time, I can't take it anymore." That mentality is something many people understand: wanting to make quick money, lacking patience, and fearing to miss out, like a grasshopper suspended in mid-air.
On the first day, I had him allocate 10% to build a position. He hesitated: "With this little, what can I earn?" I replied: "You are here to turn things around, not to make quick money." He followed my advice.
Three days later, he sent a screenshot: "32%! Really?" I had him withdraw the profit, leaving the original position unchanged: "Profits sustain profits; the principal is your foundation."
After that, we often analyzed the market until the early hours, slowly rolling 1200U into 1700U, 4900U, 7800U... The increases weren't fast, but they were steady.
On the 25th day, he asked: "Can I teach others now?" I didn't respond—he couldn't hide the "float" in his eyes, eager to prove himself.
In the early hours of the 31st day, he sent a screenshot showing a 38% loss: he had heavily invested in a vague whitepaper altcoin without notifying me. I asked for the reason, and he was defiant: "I wanted to test my logic; it could double."
At that moment, I knew he had fallen back into gambler mode, forgetting "discipline," "patience," and "capital safety." On the 33rd day, I blocked him. He had forgotten the key: turning around is never about a single big win but about consistently adhering to discipline, like rolling a snowball steadily.
However, he didn't understand that those who survive in the crypto world are the ones who can control themselves and engrain discipline into their bones. How much capital doesn't matter; going from 1200U to 48,000U relies not on luck but on restraint amid the ups and downs. Only a few can make it to the end—they can hold themselves back in times of impulse, remembering: the key to turning around lies in "repeating discipline."
