Cryptocurrency Survival Guide: The Rules for Turning from Liquidation to Steady Profit
Last autumn, 23-year-old Xiao Lin found me with 1500U, his eyes burning with the fire of a gambler: "Brother Jin, I'm all in on altcoins, it’s either a tenfold return or nothing!"
Looking at this young man who had just graduated and quit his job, I seemed to see myself five years ago, naked in the contracts.
"First learn to survive, then talk about making money." I laid down three iron rules for him:
First line of defense: Three-account separation system
I split his 1500U into three accounts: 600U locked in a cold wallet as "coffin money", 600U as liquid funds, and 300U stored in the exchange.
For each trade, use at most 20% of the liquid funds (120U), with a liquidation line set below 150U. "Even if you lose this entire amount, you still have 1380U to make a comeback."
Initially, Xiao Lin found it slow, until one day he witnessed the exchange being hacked, but the money in the cold wallet remained safe.
Second line of insurance: Profit harvesting machine
I taught him to set up automatic withdrawal rules: every time he made 100U, he would immediately withdraw 50U to his on-chain wallet. Three months later, his cold wallet grew from 600U to 2800U, while his exchange account consistently maintained 600U of "evergreen principal."
Now, even if the market halves, the profits I withdrew are enough to buy a Tesla. "He proudly showed the wallet screenshot.
Ultimate armor: Emotion isolation technique
Last week, when Bitcoin plummeted by 15% and the community was in an uproar, Xiao Lin was following my instructions and focusing on the weekly chart."
Everyone was shouting to buy the dip, but I was waiting for the MACD golden cross signal." At 3 AM, when the K-line broke through a key resistance level, he decisively went long and made an 8% profit in 20 minutes before exiting. Most of those who blindly bought the dip were shaken out before the rebound.
Now, Xiao Lin's account has reached 56,000U, and what makes him most proud is not the profit, but the fact that "he has never put his principal at risk."
This once reckless young man has now become the most stable "human profit-taking machine" in the group.
The cryptocurrency world is never short of wealth myths, but those who survive through three rounds of bull and bear markets are survival experts who have ingrained the fear of death into their DNA.
