At 35, I am in my tenth year of ups and downs in the crypto world. Reflecting on 2018, when I entered the market with 60,000 borrowed capital, after 7 years of professional trading and over 3,100 days and nights of honing my skills, I finally crossed the 8-digit threshold last year. This journey has taught me far more than just the game of K-line fluctuations.

1. The deadly trap of the leverage myth.

The crypto world is never short of legends like 'turning tens of thousands into hundreds of millions,' but 90% of high-leverage contract players fall during the first round of a bear market. I have seen too many experts quickly accumulate wealth through leverage, only to wipe out years of profits due to a single misjudgment of a trend or uncontrolled position management. Human greed will lead you to turn trading into a 'gamble with your life' in the temptation of 'taking small risks for big rewards.'


Remember: there will always be a major catastrophe in the crypto world every ten years (the bear markets of 2018 and 2022 have proven this); never let your capital exceed your ability. True stability begins with a reverence for leverage.

2. Changing oneself is the key to breaking the deadlock.

Financial markets only recognize results, not the self-satisfaction of 'effort.' If you cannot achieve sustained profits, there must be a fatal flaw hidden in your trading system: it could be entering the market by luck (choosing assets outside of your understanding), avoiding stop-loss (letting small losses snowball into catastrophic losses), or having a chaotic strategy (chasing trends in a volatile market).


I made a typical mistake in 2023: frequently trading in a volatile market, which ate up 30% of my profits in fees; in 2024, I avoided stop-loss, allowing a 10% floating loss to evolve into a 50% catastrophe. I later realized—before each trade, I must ask myself three soul-searching questions: Is the logic sound? Does the strategy and risk control form a closed loop? Can I bear the loss?
An adult trader must dare to face mistakes and also know how to 'scrape bones to detoxify.'

3. The essence of trading: wrong stop-loss, correct holding.

This eight-character admonition is a truth forged with real money:

  • Wrong stop-loss: When BTC dropped from 30,000 to 20,000 in 2024, I strictly adhered to my stop-loss and avoided subsequent losses.

  • Correct holding: In 2025, I seized the ETH breakthrough, holding onto the wave and tripling my profits.


The essence of trading is a game of probability. Stop-loss locks in risks, while holding on amplifies profits. The two together form a stable framework for profit. Too many people fail because they cannot hold onto winning trades (taking small profits and running) or do not stop-loss on losing trades (holding onto losing positions until they are liquidated). The root cause is a failure to understand the essence of 'profits and losses stem from the same source.'
After ten years in the crypto world, I finally understand: the core of stable profits is 'cognitive matching of wealth and strategy controlling human nature.' Abandon speculation, anchor your skill set, and reflect and summarize daily—when you turn trading into a 'controllable practice,' wealth will naturally become an accessory.
