1. Three Ecological Niches for Survival in the Crypto World
1. Coin Hoarders: Time Hunters Through Bull and Bear Markets
- Core Strategy: Treat BTC/ETH as digital gold, using 'regular investment' to counter human nature
- Practical Details: Buy $100 of mainstream coins on payday every month, regardless of whether it drops to $30,000 or rises to $100,000, persist through 2 bull and bear cycles (8 years)
- Real Case: Those who dollar-cost averaged BTC in 2015 saw a minimum return of 100 times by 2021, and are close to enduring the next cycle
- Core Logic: The crypto market is essentially a cyclical game, 90% of coins will disappear, but BTC/ETH are the anchors that cross cycles

2. Luck Players: Gamblers on the Edge
- Typical Path: Chase trends → All-in on new coins → Double in the short term → Increase holdings → Plummet and get trapped → Cut losses and exit
- Data Truth: 9 out of 10 luck players lose, the remaining 1 is the 'smart person who takes profits in time'
- Fatal Weakness: Relying on emotional trading, fantasizing about 100 times gains when rising, stubbornly waiting for a rebound when falling, ignoring that 95% of altcoins will go to zero
- Survival Rule: If you want to play, use 10% of idle money to participate, set strict stop-losses (for example, run if it drops by 10%)

3. Professional Players: Hunters of Market Patterns
- Identity Breakdown: Project teams harvesting retail investors / Market makers controlling prices / Professional traders profiting from volatility, essentially 'using USDT as the base to play the money game'
- Core Ability:
- Understand Market Control: Know how market cap management teams can use 20% of funds to pump up by 50%
- Understand Psychology: Perform counter-trade operations using the psychological weaknesses of retail investors chasing highs and selling lows
- Understand Hedging: Go long on BTC in bull markets, short on altcoins in bear markets, always have a profitable position
- Ironclad Survival Rule: The secret to making money in both bull and bear markets is 'not believing in a single logic', always act as a 'arbitrageur' in the market


2. The Ultimate Solution to Liquidation in Contracts (Eight Years of Blood and Tears in Trading)
Why do you always get liquidated? Because you made these 3 fatal mistakes:
1. Using coin-based leverage: Gain coins if it rises by 10%, get liquidated if it falls by 10% (for example, buying BTC with 100x leverage, a 1% drop leads to liquidation)
2. Not setting stop-losses: Fantasizing that the market will turn, only to get liquidated by a spike (in 2023, LUNA plummeted, 100,000 people went to zero because they didn't set stop-losses)
3. Adding positions against the trend: Adding positions at a 5% drop, adding again at a 10% drop, and eventually running out of bullets and getting forcibly closed

Old Jiu's Low-Risk Contract Rules (This can save you 1 million)
1. Always use USDT as the base: Gain USDT if it rises by 10%, withstand it if it falls by 10%, use a maximum of 5x leverage (going beyond that is gambling with your life)
2. Mechanical Stop-Loss: Set a stop-loss position when opening a position (for example, automatic liquidation at a 3% drop), use the exchange's 'conditional order' feature, and avoid manual changes
3. Only trade with the trend:
- Bullish on daily level → Go long, exit if it breaks below the 5-day line
- Bearish on daily level → Go short, close if it breaks above the 5-day line
- Consolidation phase → Don't trade contracts (90% of spike liquidations occur during consolidation)

Real Case: BTC plummeted in April 2024
- Incorrect Operation: Going long with 100x leverage, not setting a stop-loss, liquidated at a 5% drop
- Correct Operation: Going long with 5x leverage, setting a 3% stop-loss, closing at a 5-day line break, losing only 200,000 USDT

3. Ultimate Survival Advice in the Crypto World
- If you want to make money from cycles: Choose mainstream coins for dollar-cost averaging, ignore short-term fluctuations
- If you want to make money from volatility: Use 10% of idle money to play altcoins, set strict stop-losses
- If you want to make money from knowledge: Learn to arbitrage like a professional player, treat USDT as bullets, and always look for market loopholes

Lastly, a heart-wrenching statement: 99% of people in the crypto world want to be professional players, but end up as luck players, dying in liquidation. Think clearly about which type of person you want to be before entering the market—this is 100 times more important than blindly trading coins!
