I personally helped him grow from 1400U to 54,000U, but on the 28th day, I blocked him.
This story might help you understand the true meaning of "turning around" in the cryptocurrency world.
When he first found me, his account was down to 1400U, a remnant after the third liquidation. Every morning, he messaged me: "Bro, if I lose any more, I’m completely out of the game." That anxiety of wanting to make quick money while fearing missing out was very much like how we felt when we first entered the market.
On the first day, I taught him to allocate 10% of his position to build up ETH, and he looked at the screen and asked, "Just 200U? When will I earn back?" I looked into his eyes and said, "You’re not here to gamble; you’re here to rebuild your account." He gritted his teeth and pressed the buy button.
Three days later, the market started to rise, and his account was up 36%. I told him to transfer the 600U he earned to a stablecoin wallet and to continue operating with just the original position. "Profits should be like nurturing seeds; first, store them, then let them sprout." During that time, we were almost synchronously monitoring the market; he noted every operation in his notebook, even the market analysis at three in the morning was filled with dense annotations.
1400U, 1900U, 5200U, 8700U... On the 22nd day, when he broke through 50,000, he suddenly asked, "Bro, am I considered a pro now? Can I bring friends along?" I didn’t respond, only noticed him starting to post profit screenshots on his moments with the caption "Making a comeback in the crypto world isn’t hard."
On the 27th day, he secretly invested heavily in a meme coin, reasoning that "after watching the K-line for three days, I’m sure it will go up." By the time I found out, his account was already down 43%. "I wanted to test my judgment," he said, his tone defiant. From that day on, he began frequently trading short positions, with stop losses set wider and wider, reminiscent of his state right after the liquidation.
On the 28th day, when I blocked him, his account still had 28,000U left. It wasn’t about regretting the losses; it was seeing him throw away the most basic rules of "positioning, stop-loss, and rolling positions," the discipline we had instilled into his operations over those 28 days ultimately lost to the impulse of "wanting to prove himself."
The cruel truth of the cryptocurrency world is this: growing from 1400U to 50,000 isn’t hard; what’s difficult is maintaining that 50,000 and continuing forward. Those who survive don’t rely on one big win but on turning discipline into a reflex. As the old fishermen say, it’s not about catching a big fish once at sea; it’s knowing which waters have hidden reefs.
