In April 2023, I huddled in my dorm bed curtain eating instant noodles, the phone screen reflecting Ordi's K-line — that BRC20 small coin, which my roommates mocked as an 'air coin', was surging at an eye-catching speed.
When I entered with 10,000 principal, I secretly maxed out my credit card; 45 days later, the account number jumped to 1.27 million, my finger hovered over the 'sell' button trembling — this is not a cliché plot, but a real script of me turning 'impossible' into 'possible' over three months.
1. Capital management: learn to lose first before you can win.
'The first time I went all in, I cried in the cafeteria for half an hour.'
When I first entered, I didn't understand diversification and bought a new coin with all my living expenses of 10,000; three days later, it plummeted by 30%, leaving only 7,000 in my account — sitting in the cafeteria, looking at the fried rice in my bowl, I suddenly realized I even hesitated to add a chicken leg.
Later learned the '5% life-and-death line': 10,000 principal divided into 20 parts, each part 500 yuan; buy one part when it drops by 10%, sell one part when it rises by 10% — just like collecting equipment in a game, accumulating chips, no matter how much I lose, it doesn't hurt the 'health bar'.
The anti-human truth: When my roommate mocked me for 'earning too slowly', I watched them delete the app after liquidation with a cold smile — the first lesson in the crypto world is not 'how to earn', but 'how to survive'.
2. Hundred times coin hunting: ambush in neglected places.
'When I saw BRC20 on the forum, I smelled blood.'
In March 2023, while browsing a geek forum discussing 'Bitcoin inscription track', I found that Ordi's market cap was still under ten million — that excitement of 'everyone has not discovered the treasure' was more thrilling than receiving an admission letter.
Sticking to two indicators:
① The new coin has been lying in the Binance new product area for three days, with no one asking about it.
② On-chain data shows whales are crazily accumulating chips, and the exchange reserves halved.Practical mindset: convince yourself 'at worst, I will lose a hot pot meal', using a 5% position (500 yuan) to test the waters, but after 45 days, I witnessed the 'hot pot money turn into a luxury car down payment' miracle — hundred times coins are never 'luck', but 'digging for gold in the obscure'.
3. Leveraged rolling: the art of dancing with shackles.
'When I used 20x leverage, I set my stop-loss line as my phone wallpaper.'
The first time I used leverage, my hands shook on the screen for 10 minutes, finally writing '5% stop loss' on a sticky note and sticking it to my phone — every 1% rise in price made my heart race by 10 beats; for every 1% drop, my palms would sweat.
After earning 10%, I only added the profits to my position, immediately transferring the principal to a cold wallet — watching the account numbers soar, yet telling myself 'this is not my money', this 'split feeling' has saved me countless times.
My roommate's cautionary tale: he used all his principal to open 100x leverage, and when the coin price dropped by 2%, he was liquidated instantly, hiding under the blanket playing games all night — leverage is not a tool for getting rich, but an 'accelerator' for those with strong discipline.
4. Take profit and stop loss: use robots to discipline and kill human weaknesses.
'The night I set the automatic stop loss, I slept my first sound sleep in three months.'
Set strict rules for yourself: withdraw principal immediately after earning 50%, automatically cut positions after losing 10% — when Ordi surged by 50%, I nervously transferred 10,000 principal to my bank card, letting the remaining profits rise or fall without worrying.
Watching a classmate in the next dorm stubbornly hold onto LUNA, going from a 5% loss to a 90% loss, finally crying and borrowing money from home to pay off liquidation debts — at that moment I understood: the sharpest sickle in the crypto world is not the crash, but 'unwillingness to accept defeat'.
The logic behind the iron rule: treat yourself as an emotionless trading robot, using code to replace emotion — when discipline becomes muscle memory, can you remain steady like a mountain during wild fluctuations.
5. Cycle crushing: planting seeds in despair, harvesting in madness.
'Bear market studies in the library, bull market withdraws at the exchange.'
In the bear market of 2022, while 90% of the people around me were cutting losses and leaving, I used my scholarship to dollar-cost average into BTC — while studying in the library, my phone was locked in the drawer, only checking the market once a week, waiting for the cycle like waiting for exam results.
When the bull market arrived in 2023, and even the cafeteria ladies were asking 'how to buy coins,' I cleared my positions in three batches — watching people in the group shout 'the bull market has just begun,' I recalled how they cursed the crypto market as a 'pyramid scheme' during the bear market.
Blood and tears lesson: the crypto market cycles every four years; catching one bull market can multiply your investment by 10 times, catching two can change your fate directly — but the premise is you have to survive the bear market, don't fall in the darkness before dawn.
Conclusion: The truth of turning 10,000 into 1 million is the victory of 'anti-humanity'.
From a poor student eating instant noodles to a millionaire, I still have the screenshot of my first liquidation on my phone — that is not a shame, but a reminder to myself: the crypto world lacks myths, but it lacks 'fools' who can maintain discipline.
If you are still staying up late in the dormitory watching the market, your heart racing for a 1% fluctuation;
If you are still following the crowd to buy 'hundred times coins', dreaming of getting rich overnight —
Please remember: true counterattack is not relying on luck to hit a meme coin, but using 'rigid' discipline to outlast 99% of competitors.
Before opening the exchange app next time, first ask yourself three questions:
Will losing this money affect my meals?
Do I really understand the logic of this coin?
If it drops by 50%, can I avoid cutting losses?
The answer lies in your trembling fingers and calm brain — and wealth always belongs to the few who can overcome human weaknesses.
(After closing the computer, I transferred 1 million out of 1.27 million to my bank card, keeping the rest to continue holding coins — this time, I'm not betting on coin prices, but whether I can be more 'rigid' in the next cycle than I am now.)
