When I first met Old Chen, he had less than 1000U left in his account. Every time he came to me, he would say, “Bro, if I lose again, I really have to quit the circle.”
I guided him step by step from 1000U all the way to 68,000U, and in the end, I deleted him.
This incident is worth listening to for everyone who has experienced ups and downs in the crypto world.
He is the typical type who panics when losing but is greedy to the point of obsession.
That state is too real—afraid of missing out, yet wanting to break even, completely dominated by anxiety and desire.
I told him to only use 10% of his funds to build his position on the first day, and he was stunned: “What can I make with this little money?”
I said, “You are here to turn things around, not to gamble on the last hand.”
He reluctantly listened, and as a result, he made a profit of 36% in three days. I immediately reminded him:
“Withdraw the profits, do not touch the principal, and continue to roll with the money earned; this is just the beginning.”
During that time, we almost watched the market together every day, back-tested, and simulated trends.
If we made money, we only took out profits; if we lost, we stayed up until three in the morning to find the reasons.
His account kept going up: 1900U, 5200U, 8700U… It was about to break through a new barrier.
But on the 28th day, he suddenly asked me: “Bro, can I bring others to play now?”
At that moment, I felt a pang in my heart—it wasn't that he lacked ability, but that his mindset had drifted.
Sure enough, on the 34th day, he heavily invested in a certain altcoin without even asking me.
He lost 43% in one go. I asked him why he didn’t tell me in advance, and he stubbornly replied: “I just wanted to test my judgment.”
The gambler mode, after all, returned.
On the 36th day, I didn’t say much and directly blacklisted him.
It wasn't that I was heartbroken over the money, but he had forgotten one fundamental point:
In the crypto world, turning things around never relies on a big gamble, but on discipline, systems, and steady progress with each step.
Those who can survive in this market are never the ones who want to get rich overnight,
but those who can stick to the rules and control their impulses.
From 1000U to 68,000U, the numbers went up, but those who can really stabilize are few and far between.
Ultimately, if you want to turn things around, first turn off the “gambler mode.” Self-discipline is your strongest skill.
In the past, you walked in the market in the dark alone; now the light is with me, and I keep it on.
