In the crypto world, surviving is the king
I have been through the crypto space for many years and have seen too many stories of "getting rich overnight, going to zero in an instant." In the end, trading cryptocurrencies is not about who makes money fast, but who lasts the longest.
Today, I would like to share my 15 survival rules for the crypto world, follow them, and you will at least be able to live longer than most people.
1. Principal First
Protecting your principal is your only bottom line for surviving in the market. Without capital, you don’t even have the qualification for the next round.
2. No Greed, Stable Earnings
Small profits, more frequent. Slow is fast. Don’t think you can get rich overnight.
3. Diversify Investments, Leave Room
Never go all in; when the market reverses, you need an exit strategy.
4. No Heavy Positions, No FOMO
Go with the trend and avoid emotional trading.
5. Buy Slowly, Sell Quickly
Accumulate in batches during sideways movement, decisively sell when you reach your target, don’t hesitate.
6. You Can’t Make All Profits, But You Can Lose Everything
Never think about cleaning out the market; it will make you pay the price.
7. Cut Losses Immediately When Fundamentals Deteriorate
Those who delay cutting losses often end up back to square one overnight.
8. Long-Term View Weekly, Ultra Long-Term View Monthly
Stop when trends reverse; what you have in hand is what counts.
9. The Market Always Reverses
Don’t fantasize that rises will last forever, the same goes for declines.
10. Don’t Trade Without Opportunities
Missing opportunities is normal; what you catch is yours.
11. Waiting for Opportunities is Better Than Searching for Them
Patience is the biggest moat in the crypto world.
12. Stop When You Meet Your Goals
Energy is limited; don’t watch the market until you lose control.
13. Cutting Losses is a Responsibility, Profits are a Blessing
The market owes you nothing, don’t turn it around.
14. Real Profits Come from Waiting
Frequent trading will only wear you out.
15. Desire Breaks Mindset, Execution Can Save You
Have a plan, execute it, and don’t be hijacked by emotions.
These words sound easy, but are very difficult to practice. The crypto world has never been about who runs fastest, but about who can walk to the end.
Remember: Surviving gives you the chance to wait for the next wave of market.
