Insights from a friend of mine who is an old hand in the crypto circle. Today, he lays bare his survival manual that he has kept hidden. The 10 iron rules he forged with real money have allowed countless retail investors to preserve their capital during market crashes and to accurately exit at the peak of bull markets — I recommend taking a screenshot immediately, as each one is worth millions!
1. Trading Iron Rule: Every transaction must be documented. True professional players will create an 'investment record' for each trade: the entry logic, stop-loss points, target gains, and holding periods are all meticulously documented. I have seen too many myths of sudden wealth shatter, all because they relied on luck when making money and couldn't find the cause of their losses. Remember: trades without review are just paying fees to the exchange!
2. Position Lifeline: Always keep 30% 'nuclear funds.' Experienced players always divide their wallets into three layers: 60% stable assets (Bitcoin/Ethereum), 10% aggressive allocations (promising altcoins), and 30% cash on standby. This is not conservatism, but a strategy to wait for the 'golden pit moment' — historical data shows that when mainstream coins experience a drop of over 50%, this fund can directly reduce your holding cost by 40%!
3. Human Nature Mirror: Crashes reveal the truth more than K-lines. When your account's market value halves overnight, 90% of investors make the fatal mistake: they panic-sell at the bottom during a crash and chase highs at the peak of a rebound. Remember: true investment masters will open Excel to calculate valuations when exchanges crash, rather than seeking comfort in WeChat groups. Every bearish candlestick in market software is a 'test of your intelligence' from the market.
4. Asset Allocation Golden Rule: Only buy coins that let you sleep well at night. Newbies look at concepts, while veterans look at cash flow. Those air coins that keep you up at night, no matter how appealing their stories are, should be decisively blacklisted. My holding criteria are simple: even if the coin price halves for three years, the project can still operate through ecosystem revenue. Only such assets can accompany you through bull and bear cycles.
5. The Ultimate Code of the Bull Market: True wealth lies in cognition. From $0.01 to $69,000, Bitcoin has proven over 14 years: eternal bull markets are not on K-line charts, but in investors' cognition. When you understand the underlying logic of blockchain reconstructing the financial system, you won't be misled by short-term fluctuations. Remember: retail investors chasing highs and cutting losses earn small amounts, while the big players earn the dividends of the era with their steadfast beliefs.
6. Contrarian Investment Bible: After a crash, there will always be a 'golden buying point.' Looking back at historical K-lines, you will be shocked to find that after 12 instances of over 40% drops in the past 10 years, there has always been a 100%+ rebound within 12 months. Ethereum rose 45 times after the March 12 crash in 2020, and BNB reached new highs against the trend after the LUNA collapse in 2022 — what were you doing while others were panicking? Deleting software or calculating market value?
7. Leverage Meat Grinder: 99% of liquidations die from 'fatal illusions.' Contract leverage is like financial heroin, making you experience a racing heart with 100x leverage, but losing everything with just a 2% volatility. Data shows that 98% of bankruptcy cases in the crypto circle are related to leverage. Remember: true investment does not need leverage, just like a race car driver wouldn’t deliberately crash into the guardrail.
8. Information Purification Rule: Turn off all notifications during a crash. When the market drops 20% in a single day, your phone will be flooded with 100 negative messages: someone is shorting, a certain country's regulations are tightening, a project is running away… But history proves that 99% of panic messages are just tools for market manipulators. My strategy is simple: on days of major drops, I hand my phone to my family and read 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' again.
9. Cycle Belief: Human civilization endures, and bull and bear markets are cyclical. From the Dutch tulip mania to cryptocurrencies, 400 years of financial history repeatedly validates one truth: the end of a bear market is always when 'no one believes a bull market will come.' When the exchange's customer service starts advising you to exit, when big influencers in the crypto circle change careers together, that's when you should consider selling your house and going all in — because the pendulum of economic cycles always swings in the opposite direction.
10. Excess Return Formula: Build a moat in the 'value no man's land.' While all retail investors chase hot trends, smart money has already infiltrated the 'value no man's land': those who invested in DeFi in 2016 earned 300 times, and those who positioned in NFTs in 2019 cashed out $1 billion. Remember: the blockchain revolution creates new tracks every day, and wealth is always hidden in places that 'most people can't understand.' Finally, let me leave you with a saying: the crypto circle has never been a casino, but a testing ground for the realization of knowledge. When you engrave these 10 iron rules into your DNA, you will discover: it’s not you waiting for the bull market, but the bull market waiting for you to enter. Now, please open your trading records and see which iron rule you haven't implemented yet.
