I personally guided a student from 3700U to 54,000U, but on the 38th day after the account doubled, I blocked him. This story hides the cruelest truth in the cryptocurrency world: bouncing back from a low point isn't difficult, but the challenge is to maintain profits and keep going.

When the student found me, his account only had 3700U left—this was the remaining 'endgame' after his third liquidation. During that time, he would message me every morning, filled with anxiety: 'Brother, if I lose any more, I’ll completely exit the market.' That kind of struggle between wanting to make quick money from the market and fearing to miss opportunities felt just like how we were when we first entered the space.

On the first day of teaching him, I had him take a 10% position (about 200U) to build a position in ETH. He frowned at the screen and asked me, 'Just buy 200U? How long will it take to earn anything with such a small position?' I looked into his eyes and said word by word, 'You’re not here to gamble; you’re here to rebuild your account—protecting your principal is more important than making quick money.' He was silent for a few seconds, ultimately gritting his teeth and pressing the buy button.

In the following three days, the market kicked off as expected, and the account's unrealized profit quickly reached 36%. I immediately had him transfer the more than 600U he earned to a stablecoin wallet, leaving only the original 3700U to continue trading. 'Profits should be treated like nurturing seeds; you need to store them before they can sprout slowly. Don’t just chase the market as soon as you earn a little.' During that time, we were almost simultaneously watching the market. He carefully recorded every operation in his notebook, even the market analysis at 3 AM was filled with dense annotations—at that time, he had a reverence for discipline and a desire for a comeback.

The account balance slowly increased: 3700U, 4000U, 5200U, 8700U... Until the 28th day, when the balance broke 50,000U, he suddenly messaged me: 'Brother, am I considered a cryptocurrency expert now? Can I bring friends along?' I didn’t respond, but when I scrolled through his social media, I was stunned—he posted a screenshot of his profits with the caption 'It’s not hard to turn the tables in crypto, just find the right method.' The pride in his words had long since replaced his initial caution.

The turning point came on the 34th day. He secretly invested heavily in an unknown altcoin, reasoning, 'I’ve watched the candlestick charts for three days; it’s definitely going to rise.' By the time I found out, the account had already lost 43%. Faced with my questioning, he responded defiantly: 'I just wanted to test my own judgment; I can’t always follow you, can I?' From that day on, he seemed like a different person—frequently making short trades, setting wider stop losses, and increasing his position size time after time, completely reverting to the impulsiveness that led to his initial liquidation.

On the 38th day, I blocked him. At that time, the account still had 28,000U left. I wasn’t upset about the losses; I was watching him throw away the most basic rules of 'diversifying positions to control risk, locking in profits in time, and strictly setting stop losses.' We took 28 days to engrain discipline into his trading; yet, he let the impulse to 'prove himself' completely overwhelm him in just 10 days.

The cruelest truth in the cryptocurrency world has never been 'not being able to make money' but rather 'not being able to hold onto money after making it.' Going from 3700U to 50,000U relied on discipline and patience; but falling back from 50,000U to 28,000U only required one impulsive heavy position. Those who survive in the crypto world do not rely on a single explosive profit to 'change their fate,' but rather turn discipline into a reflex—just like old fishermen say, safely returning from the sea is not about catching a big fish once, but always knowing which waters hide the reefs and never betting their lives against the waves.
