While scrolling through chat logs, the words of a predecessor from three years ago suddenly popped up: 'When you're staring at the K-line trembling, the money has already slipped away through the cracks of the screen.'
He entered the market in 2019 with 100,000, and now his account shows 42 million. But what's more shocking than that number is his brother, who lost 600,000, managed to earn back a BMW X3 in six months with just 10 minutes of operation each day—he didn't even watch the market and didn't even install K-line software.
1. Don't chase the illusion of 'selling at the highest point'; what you pocket is real gold.
The first trick he taught shattered the fantasies of most people: every time it rises by 20%, he firmly withdraws 10% of the principal. Last year, when Ethereum surged from 1800, he 'cut positions' three times at 2160, 2592, and 3110, leaving him with only 30% of his position.
"Does it seem like you missed out on a few million? But those who didn't sell at 4000 now look back at their accounts and see nothing but shattered bubbles."
And what about us? Buying coins at 20,000, panicking to cash out when it rises to 21,000, then regretting as it climbs to 25,000; learning to hold on next time, only to see it drop from 21,000 to 19,000 and cutting losses overnight—wasn't that just 'picking sesame seeds while losing watermelons, and in the end, even the sesame seeds are crushed'?
2. New coins are like tank tops at a bar; enticing but hiding strong men behind them.
He always has only 5 'old friends' on his phone: Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, SOL, ADA. 'Those new coins with numbers and letters in their names are like girls in tank tops at a bar, smiling and waving at you, while you have no idea how many burly men are waiting behind them to collect the IQ tax.'
Last year, his nephew secretly chased a new coin that rose by 300%, but now his holdings are just 1/20 of what they were; the chat logs are filled with cries of 'Bro, should I cut my losses?' And a fan who sent me a screenshot at 3 a.m. is worse off, chasing a 'hundred times coin' with a capital of 500,000, now down to just 80,000, with despair reflected in the dark circles under his eyes illuminated by the screen.
3. The most profitable moments are often hiding sugar in the agony.
On the day of the 312 crash, while others were panicking and cutting losses, he added money to his account and increased his position by 20%. 'When others are frantically jumping ship, you need to check if the lifeboat is still there—provided that the ship has dropped 80% but hasn't sunk.'
He never calculates where the 'bottom' is when buying coins; he only waits for two signals: sideways movement for at least 3 months and the weekly line crossing 3 bullish candles. 'The bottom is walked out, not calculated. It's like watching someone drowning; you have to wait for them to surface for air before going down to throw them a lifebuoy.'
Too many people rush to catch the bottom, only to end up buying halfway up the mountain. It's like last year's fans who bought SOL, hesitating to sell as it rose from 80 to 200, and now it's fallen back to 100, with profits slipping through their fingers like sand.
The survival secret is hidden in clumsy methods.
Now he runs every morning at 8 a.m. and turns off his phone at 10 p.m. 'In the crypto world, it's not about how much you understand the K-line, but how much you can control human greed and fear.'
Those who can calculate MACD golden crosses and recite white papers often end up in liquidation in contracts. Meanwhile, the 'clumsy method' from predecessors—buying after a drop, selling proportionally after a rise, and cutting losses at 15%—acts like a safety valve for the account.
Is the K-line in your phone still flashing? Those experiences of being 'chasing highs and cutting lows' or 'catching the bottom halfway up the mountain'—do they still hurt when you think about them? Perhaps the true survival guide in the crypto world has always been hidden in the anti-human discipline.
