I have just spent three years crawling through the crypto world. Now when I open my account, that string of nine-digit numbers makes me dizzy — you should know, my initial capital was only 20,000, which I scraped together during school: making a little commission as a Taobao affiliate, helping others with orders for a cup of milk tea, running errands until I was drenched in sweat, charging up the APP for pocket money, and not letting go of any small tasks worth a few cents… truly hard-earned money saved up piece by piece.
I have never worked a day in my life; right after graduation, I dove straight into the crypto world. The reason is very practical: for ordinary people like us, if we can’t seize leveraged opportunities in the crypto circle, there might really be no other way to turn our lives around.
At first, I thought BTC was too expensive and hesitated to act, so I focused on ETH contracts and altcoin spot trading. The method looks rough, but it really works; just three sentences:
First, pick good coins, then diversify your positions, don’t put all your eggs in one basket;
When the market is bad, I decisively cut even small losses; I never hold on stubbornly.
The market is here, as long as there is a floating gain, I dare to increase my position and ride the upward trend.
With just these three tricks, I never got liquidated in a bear market, and when the bull market came, I shot straight up, turning my previous patience into profits.
People often ask me a question: 'If you have two positions, one BTC up 30% and one ETH down 30%, which one would you adjust?'
There are only four options that keep repeating:
A. Do nothing, just lie flat;
B. Sell BTC to cash out and use the money to add to the ETH position, thinking about buying the bottom;
C. Cut off the losing ETH and concentrate all chips on the profitable BTC;
D. Liquidate both positions and simply exit the market.
According to probability, 80% of people will choose B — thinking it's safer to cash out and can buy the bottom of the plummeting ETH, sounds comfortable, but in reality, it's all traps.
You should know that the market is never 'if it rises too much it should fall, if it falls too much it should rise'; the real situation is that the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Just after you sell BTC, it might continue to rise; the ETH you bought might still need to probe for a bottom. When you look back, it would have been better to just lie flat initially; at least you would have had a position that was making money.
Those answers that go against human nature are often the right ones: C > A > D > B.
Sell the losing ETH and add all chips to the profitable BTC — this is emotionally hard to do, but from a return perspective, it is likely the optimal solution. I do this every time, and people around me call me a 'madman', but the numbers in my account don’t lie; after each operation like this, my returns keep increasing.
So, if you also have just one chance to turn your life around, put all your limited bullets on the sharpest knife edge, and don’t let unrealized losses tie your hands and feet. The market never rewards those who blindly fumble around, but rewards those who are disciplined and dare to go against human nature.$BTC
