In November, when BTC dropped below 82,000, the panic of 403,000 people who were liquidated has not yet dissipated, Akai added me on WeChat.

This young man had just saved up 500 USDT from the electronics factory, his voice trembling: "Bro, can this amount of money enter the crypto world?"

I stared at the 1.9 billion USD liquidation data on Coinglass, almost directly advising him to delete the app—this level of funding is just waiting to be harvested in the futures market.

But his next sentence made me pause: "I don't seek to double my money, I just want to know how to manage my positions to withstand volatility?"

I was suddenly stunned—most newcomers immediately ask "how to catch a hundredfold coin,"

but he was thinking about survival first.

I told him: split into 10 portions, each time only use 50 USDT on mainstream coins, set a stop-loss at 3%, and if wrong, exit immediately.

Akai really listened.

He lost on the first two trades with SOL, just hit the stop-loss line, and immediately cleared his position, staring at the K-line and biting his teeth without averaging down.

He said he had been burned by altcoins before and knew that "staying alive is better than anything."

He set a rule for himself: earn 2% a day and stop, during the ETH rebound on December 1st, he made 5% in a single day, his hands shook when he sent me the screenshot, and he immediately transferred 1% of the profit into his Ledger cold wallet—

This kind of operation is something even veteran players might not be able to do.

Half a month later, his account reached 1500 USDT, all from small fluctuations in ETH and SOL.

Every day in the group, someone brags about "putting all in and making 200,000," he follows up with comments like "I feel itchy just watching," but he has never made random trades.

On December 2nd, another wave of crash occurred, when 270,000 people were liquidated, he had already exited his position and was watching the show.

A month later, when his account broke 10,000 USDT, he only added to his position with profits, the principal remained untouched.

Last week he sent me a screenshot, the number jumped to 50,000 USDT, every transaction record was neat and tidy.

He said now he sets the take-profit line first when he opens his eyes, then looks at the market conditions.

This industry is never short of opportunities; what it lacks is the ability to "hold on."

Among the millions who were liquidated from November until now, too many have fallen for "rushing to turn things around."

If you also hold a few hundred USDT, don't be anxious—

Just like Akai, if you're on the right path, it's really okay to be slow. @bit冰
