I'm 30 years old and have been trading cryptocurrencies for exactly three years.

I have a nine-digit figure in my account, but my initial capital was only 20,000 yuan—the 20,000 yuan I saved during college: working as a Taobao customer on campus, doing fake orders, delivering packages, creating app promotions, and taking on small tasks—every penny saved.

I've never worked a day in a job and dove straight into the crypto world after graduation. The reason is simple: for the average person, if they can't even make it in the crypto world, there might not be any other leverage they can offer in their lifetime.

Initially, I thought BTC was too expensive, so I only traded ETH futures and altcoin spot. My method is crude but effective:

1. Select the coin first, then split your position;

2. Cut even small losses when the market is bad;

3. Add to your position when the market is good.

With these three principles, you can avoid a blowout in a bear market and take off in a bull market.

Many people ask me, "If you were given two positions, one with a 30% gain in BTC and a 30% loss in ETH, which would you move?"

The options are always four:

A. Don't move;

B. Sell BTC to buy ETH;

C. Sell ETH to buy BTC;

D. Sell everything.

Based on probability, 80% of people would choose B: cashing in on the BTC profits and "bottom-fishing" the plummeting ETH—which sounds appealing, but is actually a trap.

The market never operates on a "rise, then fall, fall, then rise" dynamic; rather, the strong remain strong, and the weak become weaker.

The BTC you just sold continues to rise, while the ETH you added to your position continues to bottom out. In retrospect, it might be better to stay put; at least you still have a profitable position.

The counterintuitive answer is often the correct one: C > A > D > B.

Sell the losing ETH and add to the profitable BTC—it's emotionally difficult to do, but it's likely to yield the best returns. I do this all the time, and I'm always called a "madman," but the account book doesn't lie.

So, if you only have one chance, use your limited ammunition where it counts, and don't let paper losses hold you back. The market rewards not hard work, but discipline and a lack of human nature. @小花生说币
