Three years ago, I entered with the remaining 2300U, the candlestick chart reflected on my face at three in the morning. The screen was filled with '30x leverage for freedom overnight,' but those voices quickly fell silent—some had their year-end bonuses wiped out, and some mortgaged their houses to fill the pit.
I fear death, splitting 2300U into five parts, each part 460U like five bullets, only targeting coins with small fluctuations: buying on a 3% drop and selling on a 5% rise. As a result, it rolled to 2780U in the first week, surged to 3200U in the second week, and the account skyrocketed to 6700U in the third week—so fast it made my heart race. What secret technique is there? It's just that when others FOMO, I retreat; when others cut losses, I pick up the pieces.
From 6700 U to 48,000 U, I still used the same 'turtle strategy':
· Buy in batches during panic sell-offs, silently sell during frenzied rallies
· Never chase new highs, never fully invest, never listen to 'all-in god posts'
After the account broke 50,000 U, I instead locked human nature into a script: only hang limit orders for BTC/ETH/SOL/ADA, stop-loss fixed, better to earn less than to hold onto a position.
Some mocked: 'Your speed is not even as good as saving in Yu'e Bao.'
But they don't understand: having seen too many rooftop stories, only then do I realize that 'surviving' itself is compound interest.
Just like that student last week, who sent a screenshot of a liquidation at dawn: 'The principal is only 3000 U left.'
I offered no comfort, just smashed out a sentence: 'Forget about breaking even. From now on, every order is the first order.'
In the first three days, we tested the waters with 100 U:
· ADA fluctuates while making two waves of 3% like a mouse stealing rice
· AVAX broke the previous high, making 4% and immediately taking profit
Not to be a hero, but to be a puppet of discipline
On the seventh night, he sent a message: 'The account recovered 6200 U, it turns out not being greedy can really help one survive.'
In eight years of the cryptocurrency world, I never teach 'winning secrets'. The most fatal weakness of retail investors is that they always act under emotional drives.
Once had a newbie circle all impulsive trades with a red pen:
· See a Twitter call and chase the rise
· Doubling down on leverage after losing money to recover losses
· Withdraw stop-loss during profit and 'gamble again'
After finishing the circle, he was stunned: 'It turns out I am my own harvester.'
Now he only focuses on three opportunities each day:
1. BTC breaks the previous high and retraces without breaking, 5% position to catch the trend
2. ETH support levels with reduced volume, hang limit orders to catch the rebound
3. If profit exceeds 20% of the principal, immediately withdraw half to cash out
He said: 'For the first time, I feel like the account is breathing.'
Three iron rules summarized from blood and tears:
1. Going all in is a dead end, diversifying is an oxygen mask
2. Don't bet on direction, calculate probabilities
3. If the mindset cannot be stabilized, profits cannot be retained
The most absurd thing in the cryptocurrency world is—when the majority are crazily pursuing 'getting rich', the real opportunities are hidden in 'slow'.
Those heavy asset legends mostly ended on the deep nights of 312 and 519;
And we rely on the 3% compound interest each time to outperform 90% of leveraged gamblers in three months.
There are no myths in the cryptocurrency world, only ordinary people who survive.
If you are also tired of the roller coaster of accounts, starting tomorrow, I will take you down the dumbest but most stable road.
But my rules are always cold:
It can be slow, but it cannot be greedy; it can miss out, but it absolutely cannot face liquidation.
3. Reduce the frequency of actions, turning the market's power into your 'workforce', this is the only rule to live long and become more stable.
