That day when I brought him into the arena, I only said six words: "Be a little stupid, live longer."

He wasn't like this before, chasing hot trends faster than anyone, leveraging contracts to twenty times at a whim. When the market was good, he could double his money overnight; but when the wind changed, he could lose everything in three days.

I told him: "Running like this is a race against the market makers, and in the end, you'll just wear yourself out."

He listened and started to follow my approach of subtraction.

• Reduced his position to below thirty percent.

• Lowered leverage to within one time.

• Completely removed the phrase 'all in' from his dictionary.

The first time he encountered a waterfall market, he nervously asked me: "Bro, should I cut losses?"

I replied: "The bullets in your hand are your life. As long as you're alive, you can enter the next round."

That night, while others in the group were lamenting their liquidations, he still had seventy percent of his principal left. The next day, when the market rebounded, he steadily made a 5% gain and sent me a screenshot, saying only: "Bro, I believe it now."

Since then, he learned to break down his profit targets into small increments, steadily nibbling at 5% at a time. Ten increments would mean doubling, without fantasizing about getting rich overnight, just competing with himself.

From December last year to March this year, those were the hardest 68 days. He watched the market for no more than half an hour each day, spending the rest of the time exercising, reading, and doing "check-ups" on his account. While others stayed up late chasing the so-called "wealth codes," he shut down at 10:30 PM, saying that staying up late magnifies human weaknesses, and staying clear-headed is the guardian of his capital. During that period, he had a maximum floating loss of 12% and a maximum floating profit of 18%, but he managed to keep daily fluctuations within ±3% at the close.

Later, when the market warmed up, his increments quietly filled two pages, and his principal more than doubled, but he lost three kilograms. He said: "What shrank is greed, what grew is patience."

Last week, he bought a small SUV worth over a hundred thousand. On the day he picked it up, he sent me a voice message: "Bro, this car was bought with compound interest, not by luck."

I replied: "Remember, even if there's a traffic jam on the road, don't leverage to overtake."

He smiled and said: "Got it, slow is fast, steady can survive."

In the crypto world for four years, I have seen too many geniuses crash into walls while speeding, and I have also seen many ordinary people reach the top by walking. He may not be a genius, but he is my most worry-free disciple.
