When he came to me with his 1,400 U account, it was already the third time he'd blown up. Every morning, he'd message me, "Brother, if I lose again, I'm quitting the game." His anxiety, craving quick money but fearing missing out, echoed those of us when we first entered the cryptocurrency world.

On the first day, I taught him how to open a 10% position in ETH. He stared at the screen and asked, "Just 200 U? How long will it take to make a profit?" I looked him straight in the eye and said, "You're not here to gamble, you're here to rebuild your account." He gritted his teeth and pressed the buy button.

Three days later, the market took off, and the account had a 36% profit. I asked him to transfer the 600-plus U he'd earned to a stablecoin wallet and continue trading with his original position. "Profits should be like nurturing seeds: hoard them first and then they sprout." During that time, we watched the market almost simultaneously. He recorded every move in his notebook, even his 3 a.m. market analysis was densely annotated.

The account balance went from 1400 U, then 1900 U, then 5200 U, then 8700 U... When it broke 50,000 on the 28th day, he suddenly asked, "Brother, am I considered an expert now? Can I bring my friends in?" I didn't respond, but I saw him posting screenshots of his profits on his WeChat Moments, captioned with the caption, "Cryptocurrency comebacks aren't hard."

On the 34th day, he secretly invested heavily in an altcoin, reasoning, "I've been watching the K-line for three days and I'm sure it's going to go up." By the time I found out, his account had already lost 43%. "I want to test my judgment," he said with a hint of dissatisfaction. From that day on, he frequently short-term traded, setting wider and wider stop-loss orders, reminiscent of a blown account.

On the 36th day, I blocked him, with 28,000 U remaining in his account. It wasn't because I was heartbroken about the losses, but because I saw him throwing out the most basic rules of "splitting positions, stop-losses, and rolling positions"—the discipline we had meticulously ingrained into our trading over the past 28 days—but ultimately, it couldn't overcome the urge to prove himself.

The cruelest truth of the cryptocurrency world is this: it's not difficult to make 50,000 from 1400U, but it's hard to maintain that 50,000 and keep going. Survival isn't about a single big win, but about turning discipline into a reflex. As the old fisherman said, going out to sea isn't about catching a big fish, it's about knowing which areas have hidden reefs. #币安钱包TGE
