No matter how much you earn in the crypto world, if you can't safely withdraw it, it's all in vain.

In recent years, I've seen too many tragedies of 'account freezing and bank card locking':

A friend of mine made ten times his investment during this bull market, but when his card was frozen, customer service said it was 'suspected of assisting in an investigation', and he hasn't gotten a single cent back after three months.

He is not involved in illegal activities, nor is he money laundering; he just had issues with his withdrawal method.

Now, let's highlight the key points. 90% of people have encountered these pitfalls:

OTC buying coins and falling into a money laundering chain, getting hit by stray bullets.

Instant transfer after a large amount arrives, the system deems it as cashing out.

Using the main card for crypto transactions; a freeze impacts daily life.

How to avoid these pitfalls? Here are five rules:

1. Prioritize mainstream platforms:

Only use major exchanges like Binance and OKEx for withdrawals; don't operate on shady platforms.

2. Minimize USDT withdrawals:

The risk control focus is on USDT; try to convert to BTC/ETH for withdrawal to avoid detection.

3. Use a dedicated card, don't use the main card:

It's advisable to prepare a 'local bank sub-card' dedicated to deposits and withdrawals, and avoid mixing it with your main card.

4. Don't rush to transfer after arrival:

After the funds arrive, wait for over 24 hours before transferring out to avoid 'quick transfer' risk control.

5. Avoid strange times for operations:

Try to withdraw on weekdays during the day from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM; staggering your transactions is much more effective than being too aggressive.

What to do if your card gets frozen? Don't panic:

First, observe for 3 days; it might be a temporary hold.

Check with the bank to find out which department froze it and for what reason.

Prepare on-chain records, transfer screenshots, and chat logs.

Proactively cooperate to explain that you are a legitimate trader.

Many people's cards get frozen not because they broke the law, but due to insufficient evidence and panic.

Remember, only the money that can be safely secured is truly earned.
