How many people rush in with the fantasy of 'doubling overnight', only to find themselves chasing highs and lows like headless flies, with their accounts plummeting from five digits to just a few cents? I was once caught in this trap—going all in on popular coins, stubbornly holding when the market dropped, and panicking to take profits after making a little money. In the end, my initial capital of 30,000 shrank to 3,000, and late at night, I stared at the K-line chart in tears, almost uninstalling the app to say goodbye to the crypto world.
Until one day, while drinking alone, I suddenly realized: in the crypto market, what you earn isn't market money, but money from the game of human nature. Those who shout 'get rich quick' every day, 90% of them are just the reapers cutting down the grass; those who can truly survive long-term rely not on luck, but on the discipline and rhythm ingrained in their bones.
3 practical tips: The core logic I used to turn 1 into 50 times in 7 weeks.
After giving up on the obsession with 'predicting the market', I developed a method that is 'profitable without collapsing'. I turned 1,200 into 62,000 in 7 weeks without ever blowing up my account or going all in, and even took a break for 3 days in between. The core is 3 rules; understand them and follow them, and you too can escape the 'vegetable life'.
1. Don't guess the tops and bottoms, just do 'signal following'.
Stop worrying every day about 'how high this coin can go' and 'will it break the support level'! The market is like a scumbag; the more you guess, the more likely you are to be tricked. My approach is to set clear entry signals (for example, when volume breaks + moving average turns), follow in with a small position when the signal appears, and retreat immediately when the signal disappears. Never 'catch the falling knife' or fantasize about 'selling at the highest point'.
For example: Last week, a certain popular coin suddenly surged with volume, and many rushed in. I waited for it to pull back and confirm before entering, only taking a 30% gain before withdrawing— although I didn't capture the full profit, my account grew steadily, which is much better than getting stuck by chasing high prices. Remember: the crypto market is not short of opportunities; what’s lacking is the patience to 'wait for opportunities'.
2. Controlling drawdown is more important than earning profits.
This is the most against human nature point! Many people are pleased with a 10% gain, but hesitate to cut losses at 20%, and end up getting deeper in trouble. I set a strict rule for myself: a single loss must not exceed 2% of the total account balance, and I immediately 'lock in half' of the profits— for example, if I make 10,000, I first transfer 5,000 to a stable account and use the remaining profits for speculation.
The benefit of doing this is: even if the market reverses later, the losses are 'earned money', so it won't hurt the principal; and the safer the principal, the steadier the mindset, and the less likely it is to distort operations. Friends around me have used this method; 500 U turned into 18,000 in 18 days, 800 U focused on trend positions turned into 34,000. The core is 'not greedy, not stubborn'.
3. Compound rolling: Small funds can also grow into a big snowball.
Stop always thinking about 'getting rich overnight'! The charm of the crypto market is not 'overnight wealth', but the magic of compound interest. I never pursue doubling a single amount; I only seek stable growth of 15%-20% each week: 1,200 → 1,440 → 1,728 → 2,074… It seems slow, but after 7 weeks, it's a leap of 50 times.
Many people overlook the importance of 'preserving profits'— earning 10 times 5%, but if you lose once at 50%, you return to the starting point. My approach is 'lock in profits regardless of the amount earned', allowing profits to snowball and grow larger; this is the survival strategy for ordinary people in the crypto market.
Finally, let me say something heartfelt:
The crypto market is not a casino; it's a battlefield that tests cognition and discipline. Those who shout 'I'll make you rich' are very likely to want to harvest your vegetables; what truly can help you make money is the logic that teaches you to 'generate blood on your own'.
