Two o'clock in the morning. A fan with a gray avatar said, "Bro, if I lose any more, I’m out of the game."

The account only has 1400U left, a mess after the third liquidation. That anxious feeling of wanting to turn things around but being afraid of missing out is something I'm all too familiar with—everyone who's just entered the scene has experienced it.

I said, "You're not here to gamble; you're here to rebuild your account."

For the first trade, I only let him use 10% of his position to buy ETH. He was stunned: "Just 200U? How long will this take to turn around?"

I looked at him and said, "Survive first, then we can talk about turning things around." He gritted his teeth and pressed the buy button.

Three days later, the market started to rise, and the account was up 36%. I told him to transfer the 600U he earned to his spot account and only use the principal for trading: "Profits should be like seeds; you have to store them before they can sprout."

During that time, we were almost synchronously monitoring the market. He filled a notebook with every transaction, analyzing the market at three in the morning, densely packed with notes.

1400U, 1900U, 5200U, 8700U... On the 28th day, it broke 50,000, and he asked me, "Bro, am I considered a pro now? Can I bring friends in?"

I didn’t answer, only saw screenshots of profits being shared in the friend circle—was the crypto world a comeback not that hard? No, the hard part is maintaining discipline.

On the 34th day, he secretly invested heavily in altcoins, saying, "I watched the K-line for three days, it’s bound to rise."

As a result, he lost 43%. He said, "I wanted to test my judgment."

At that moment, what I saw wasn’t courage but the familiar impulse—the shadow of liquidation returned.

On the 36th day, I blocked him. The account still had 28,000U left; it wasn’t about the money, but watching him throw "position management, stop-loss, and rolling over" into the trash. The habits built over 28 days couldn't withstand the demons of wanting to prove himself.

The cruel truth of the crypto world: Going from 1400U to 50,000 is not hard; what’s hard is maintaining the discipline to continue moving forward.

Those who truly survive do not rely on one-time windfalls but engrave discipline into their bones.

As the old fisherman says: Going to sea doesn't rely on one big catch but on knowing which waters have the most hidden reefs.

In summary: Many can make money, but only those who can maintain it deserve to show off.
