After years of navigating the cryptocurrency world, I've discovered a heartbreaking pattern:
Most people fail not because of poor skills, but because they don't understand the word "stop."
This seemingly simple decision has become a hurdle that many people struggle to overcome.
Two years ago, I met an auto mechanic named Zhang. He entered the market with 8,000 U, which he had saved for three years. He happened to catch a mini-bull market, and within three months, his U had soared to 120,000.
At the time, rumors spread in the community that he was "the chosen one." A few of us veterans urged him to set aside some money to improve his life, but he blushed and said, "I'll stop when it reaches 500,000. Then I'll open a repair shop!"
But when the market turned, he was reluctant to sell his losses, clinging to the illusion that "it will eventually go back up." In the end, his account shrank to just over 2,000 U, and he almost sold all his repair tools.
I've also fallen on hard times. When my account reached 450,000 U, greed drove me to cancel my take-profit order, hoping to reap the last ounce of profit. As a result, an overnight pullback wiped out most of my profits, and my account was halved to just over 200,000 yuan. That week was a restless night, and I finally understood the meaning of the saying, "Greed is insatiable, a snake swallowing an elephant."
Later, I realized: success in the cryptocurrency world isn't about who earns the most, but who can hold onto that profit. How many people boast of "financial freedom" but fail to implement basic profit-taking strategies, only to watch their accounts plummet and regret their losses.
Now, I have a strict rule: if my account doubles, I immediately transfer out 40% of the profit; if it triples, I withdraw half of my principal. This isn't cowardice, but rather the understanding that only money in your pocket truly belongs to you; the numbers on the screen are imaginary until you withdraw them.
There's no single answer to the question of "how much profit is enough," and desire is endless. But sober individuals lock in profits midway through the market, while greedy individuals wait until the market hits its peak.
The rule of survival in the cryptocurrency world: The winners who make it all the way to the end know how to stop at the crucial moment. Whether you can recover from losses in this market cycle depends entirely on your determination to take profits. Planning for profits early on is crucial for truly securing profits.
