On the night of the 2023 Spring Festival, amidst the sound of firecrackers, I stared blankly at the '-100,000' red numbers displayed on my mobile banking. When the collection call rang for the seventh time, I pressed the mute button, and the lights of thousands of homes outside shattered into pieces in my tears. That night I wrote in my notebook: 'Either sink here, or fight back desperately.'
A gamble with no return
When I exchanged my last human favor for a $2000 principal, my childhood friend grabbed my collar and scolded: 'Are you crazy? This is jumping into a fire pit!' But I knew clearly, in the digital jungle of the crypto world, the reckless die quickly, while the wise survive. I etched my trading strategy on the headboard:
1. Single position ≤ 20%, like guarding the last grain of food
2. Stop loss immediately at a 5% loss, faster than a rabbit escaping
3. Each round profits 30% into the cold wallet, this is a lifeline earned with blood and tears.
Heart-stopping 28 days
On the night of the third week encountering the 'death shake,' the K-line chart looked like a mad ECG. My finger hovered over the closing button for three hours, and the sweaty phone case slipped three times. When dawn revealed two extra zeros in my account, I realized that my bitten lip had oozed blood.
Monologue of the reborn
Looking at the seven-digit balance in the bank app now, I actually miss the time when I was eating instant noodles in the convenience store while watching the market. The jungle law of the financial market has never changed: 10% of people earn 90% of the money. Those friends who asked me for secrets ultimately fell before the word 'discipline'—just as the old hunter said, no matter how good the shotgun is, it can't save a reckless rookie charging with closed eyes.
Recently, many people have asked me if I take apprentices, and I always tell that fable: The hungry wolf stares at the meat in the trap but cannot see the cold gleam of the iron clamp. The real way of trading is not in the K-line chart, but in whether you can remain clear-headed in desperate situations. There has never been a magic spell to turn stone into gold, only the awareness to dance on the tip of a knife.
Remember, there are no experts in the crypto world, only 'survivors.' Are you ready to be the 'scythe' or the 'leek'? Let me know in the comments!
