In the crypto space, there are people coming in every day with dreams of 'getting rich,' and 90% of them are wiped out within three months. I've been in this for ten years, I've seen tears from liquidation at three in the morning, and I've also experienced the euphoria of hundredfold coins doubling. Today, let's not talk about illusions—if you want to survive in this market, first fortify these four lines of defense; they are more effective than any 'get rich quick scheme.'

First line of defense: see through the project's 'essence,' don’t be fooled by K-lines.

The most common mistake newcomers make is staring blankly at candlestick charts, thinking that a few red and green lines can predict price movements. But the essence of the crypto space is 'value games'; K-lines are just the surface, the underlying logic of the project is the backbone.


I often say: 'Before buying a coin, ask three questions—what problem does it solve? How does it compare to similar projects? Is the community really doing something or just shouting slogans?' Before a certain public chain upgrade last year, I spent a week studying its consensus mechanism improvements and found that its transaction efficiency could be increased by 300%; fans who laid out early benefited.


Those who can't even be bothered to read the white paper and only rely on 'big shots' to buy coins are essentially gambling on luck. Remember: if your understanding isn't in place, the money you earn will eventually have to be paid back.

Second line of defense: install 'brakes' on trading, don’t let emotions take the wheel.

'Market intuition' is just a trick used by veterans to fool newcomers. What can truly save your life is a cold trading system—when to buy, when to sell, how much loss must be cut, how much profit to take, all must be written into the rules.


In my own system, there are two core buttons: one is 'signal filtering,' using on-chain fund flows and trading volume for dual verification. Last year, when a certain stablecoin lost its peg, the system issued a warning three days in advance, helping me avoid disaster; the other is 'black swan switch,' always keeping 10% of the position for hedging. Even if the market collapses, it can still keep you afloat.


Newcomers always feel that 'the system is too rigid,' and what happens? When it goes up, they greedily do not sell; when it goes down, they stubbornly refuse to stop loss, and in the end, they watch their accounts go to zero. Remember: the most valuable thing in the crypto space is not prediction, but 'controllability.'

Third line of defense: position is a lifeline, don’t put all your eggs into the meat grinder.

'Putting all your eggs in one basket to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle'? This is the biggest lie in the crypto space. I've seen too many people throw their house money into a 'hundredfold coin,' only to see the project team run away, turning them from 'almost middle class' into 'negative assets.'


My funding allocation rule: 50% of the position is placed on 'stable anchors' like Bitcoin and Ethereum; this is your confidence; 30% for swing trading, focused on leading projects with real-world applications; 15% kept as cash reserves, to buy the real bottom during a crash; only 5% is allowed for playing with 'concept coins'—if you lose, it won't hurt, and if you win, it's a surprise.
The core of position management is not to 'earn more,' but to 'stay alive.' As long as the principal is still there, there is always a chance to turn things around.

Fourth line of defense: endure loneliness to wait for the market.

What tests people in the crypto space the most is not technology, but mentality. In a bull market, everyone is shouting 'let's go,' you have to resist the impulse to chase highs; in a bear market, there are cries of 'zeroing out' everywhere, you have to withstand the panic of cutting losses.


Two years ago, a certain platform's coin fell 70%, and the community was filled with cries of 'it's over.' I spent three days examining on-chain data and found that the main players were secretly accumulating; I decisively increased my position and later exited with a 150% rebound. The key to this operation wasn't that I was amazing, but that I dared to 'stay still' when others were panicking.


The market always punishes two types of people: the 'cowards' who panic and sell at the slightest rise, and the 'stubborn bulls' who stubbornly hold on even when prices drop to the bottom. True experts are like snipers—99% of the time waiting, 1% of the time pulling the trigger.


Lastly, let me say something heartfelt:
There are always opportunities to make money in the crypto space, but the ones who survive are always in the minority. Newcomers shouldn't think about 'doubling' right away; first, learn to 'not lose'; veterans shouldn't blindly mess around just because of experience, regularly check if their defenses are still strong.
Recently, many fans asked me: 'Is the bull market coming?' My answer is: first ask yourself—how many of these four defenses have you fortified?#GENIUS稳定币法案 #币安HODLer空投C
