Survival Rules in the Crypto World: Wisdom from the Bottom to Comeback

When my account shrank from 3000U to only 800U, I once thought the crypto world was not for me. But it was this bottoming out that made me realize a truth: in the crypto market, the myth of getting rich belongs to survivorship bias, while continuous profit is the real methodology.

Over the past two years, I have focused on refining two core strategies:

Trend Following, Rejecting Subjective Speculation

No longer trying to predict tops and bottoms, only trading clear trends. When the market breaks through key levels, I open small positions, and after confirming continuation, I gradually increase my positions.

Last year, when Bitcoin broke through 30,000 USD, our team built positions in three batches and exited with profits in the 50,000 USD range, achieving a monthly return of 230%.

Drawdown Control, Compounding is King

Set strict take-profit and stop-loss lines: a single loss should not exceed 2% of the principal, and the maximum daily drawdown should be kept within 5%.

During the volatile market of Ethereum last year, we adhered to the discipline of "take 3% profit and leave, cut loss at 2%" and rolled a 500U principal to 16,000U in 45 days.

This seemingly conservative strategy allowed us to escape unscathed during last year's "312" style crash.

Teamwork, Risk Sharing

Unlike fighting alone, we established a three-person decision-making group: one person responsible for technical analysis, one monitoring on-chain data, and one controlling macro sentiment.

Before the FTX crash in November last year, abnormal indicators of large on-chain transfers triggered alarms, allowing us to timely liquidate positions and safeguard the 12,000U principal we were operating with.

Looking back now, the comeback from 800U to 150,000U (in 7 weeks) was not due to some miraculous operation, but rather executing the compounding logic of "small losses, big gains" to the fullest.

When 90% of the market is chasing 100x leverage, we choose to use 3-5x leverage, accumulating profits through high-frequency short-term trading.

This approach may not be flashy enough, but it is sufficiently steady—after all, in the crypto world, staying alive is how you wait for the next bull market.
