Post-85 cryptocurrency veteran: From 50,000 U to 56,490,000 U in 3 years, all thanks to a "ridiculously simple" method
I am 40 years old, from Jiangxi, now living in Hangzhou. In 3 years of trading cryptocurrencies, my capital of 50,000 U turned into 56,490,000 U, without insider information or catching any "super bull markets", just repeatedly using a "simple method".
In 1095 days, I only did one thing - treat trading like leveling up in a game. Today, I will share these 6 iron rules of the cryptocurrency world from the bottom of my heart: If you understand one rule, you can save yourself from losing hundreds of thousands; if you follow three rules, you've already defeated 90% of retail investors.
First rule: Fast rise, slow fall means the big players are accumulating A rapid rise followed by a slow decline is mostly a washout, don't panic and run. A true peak is when there is a significant surge followed by an immediate waterfall decline, that’s a trap for more buyers.
Second rule: Fast drop, slow rise means the big players are distributing After a flash crash, the market may slowly rebound, but it’s not an opportunity to pick up the pieces; it’s the final cut. Don’t hold onto the illusion of “Can it really drop more after such a big fall?”.
Third rule: Volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean the end, lack of volume is dangerous If there’s still volume at high levels, it may push up one last time; a complete silence with no volume at high levels is the true eve of a crash.
Fourth rule: Don’t act impulsively on volume at the bottom, consistency is key One instance of volume could just be bait. Continuous volume over several days, especially after a period of low volume consolidation, is the true signal for building a position.
Fifth rule: Trading cryptocurrencies is about trading emotions, emotions are hidden in the “volume” Candlestick patterns are the result, while trading volume is the thermometer of emotions. If volume shrinks, nobody is playing; if volume explodes, funds are pouring in.
Sixth rule: “Nothing” is the ultimate state of being No attachment, the courage to hold no position; no greed, not chasing highs; no fear, the courage to catch the bottom. It’s not about being Zen, it’s about having a top-tier trading mindset.
Opportunities in the cryptocurrency world are never lacking; what’s lacking is your ability to keep your hands steady and see the situation clearly. The market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is your ability to control your hands and see the situation clearly, and what can truly help you get through is having someone to guide you in understanding the rhythm and pointing the way. You’re not moving fast enough; rather, you’re just stumbling around in the dark. Brother Knife has always been there, the light is right ahead, if you don’t keep up, you’ll forever be stuck in the night.
43 days, from 3000 U to 380,000 U — relying on three "ridiculously simple" rules
I am not a gifted player, nor am I one of those "in-the-know" insiders. This wave of capital turnover does not rely on miraculous trades, insider information, or luck. It relies on three rules that are so simple that I want to laugh at them myself.
Rule One: Only trade breakouts, avoid consolidations
Consolidating? Sorry, I just turn off my computer. I won’t guess bottoms, nor calculate tops, and I definitely won’t predict market trends. I just wait for that moment — a breakout with explosive volume. If it’s still, I ignore it; once it moves, I jump in. The cryptocurrency market is like a goddess; if you chase her, she will ignore you, but if you ignore her, she will come to you.
Rule Two: Always use only 20% of your capital to enter
No all-in, no impulsive trading, no averaging down. I enter the market like a doctor performing surgery — steady hands, cool mind. If I lose 2% on a trade, I sleep well; if I gain 15%, my mom starts asking what USDT is. Trading isn’t about scoring perfect every time; getting three answers right is enough to leave others in the dust.
Rule Three: Set take-profit and stop-loss first, place the order and go to sleep
Every trade I make is like a "time bomb" with a fuse set. Once the price levels are set, I toss my phone aside and carry on with life. While others are shouting in the group at 2 AM, "It’s going to fly!", I just turn over and say: "You go ahead and fly; my account flew long ago."
These three rules have helped me survive three rounds of major market harvesting. And those “smart people” — always watching macro trends, discussing sectors, analyzing sentiment, end up either blowing up their accounts or returning to zero.
I’ve come to understand: the ones who make money in the crypto world are often the most "obedient". Being obedient means — not dreaming, not bottom-fishing, not clinging to trades, and not saying “this time it’s different.” Losing money is often due to being too smart, smart enough that the market doesn’t understand what you’re trying to do.
As for me, I only do one thing — repeat the dumbest, laziest, but most effective strategy. The path to making money is quite boring, but it really works.
Call to action: Limited to 10 people!
My rhythm, strategy, and position control logic are all fully disclosed. Whether you join is up to you, just don’t turn back and call me brother.
From 50,000 to 86.49 million, remember these 7 phrases in the crypto world!
Last weekend, while having tea, I met an old brother — entered the circle in 2017, trading 50,000 USDT to almost 90 million now.
It's not talent, nor insider information, but a few simple logics; the hard part is just sticking to it without getting carried away.
1: Follow the leaders, ambush the second and third
When the market starts, first look at the leading coins in the sector, then watch for the follow-up coins' rally opportunities.
2: Focus on trading volume
Slowly accumulate in low volume; when high volume appears at a low level, it can be a strong strike; When high volume appears at a high level, immediately take profits; don't get too attached.
3: Enter on low volume pullbacks, exit on high volume
A low volume pullback is an opportunity; a high volume pullback is often a signal that the main force is offloading.
4: Only look at RSI and MACD indicators
RSI < 10 is likely a bottom-fishing opportunity; RSI > 85, be careful of a sudden dump.
Only look at MACD divergences; delete all other messy indicators.
5: Don't be overly reliant on fundamentals
In the short term, just divide coins into two categories — those that can rise and dead coins. Wherever the hotspots are, that's where the funds will be, and that's where the opportunities lie.
6: Moving averages are trend references
When the 5-day and 10-day lines are rising and the coin price is above, it indicates the trend is not broken.
If it breaks below the moving average with high volume, it's mostly done for. Moving averages can also help with trailing stop losses and take profits.
7: The strong stay strong, the weak stay weak
Don't always fantasize about bottom-fishing; seasoned traders die on the bottom-fishing path. Following the trend is the way to go.
The old brother also casually tossed out a few mantras:
Don't sell without a rise, don't buy without a drop; don't act during sideways movement. Buy on bearish candles, sell on bullish candles. After a long period of sideways movement, a breakout at a high level is a selling point, while a breakdown at a low level is a buying point (in conjunction with MACD divergence). If you believe in it, hold it; if you don't, walk away; profit and loss are not the basis for trading.
In the short term crypto world, it's not about who is smarter, but who can control their impulses and stick to the discipline. Remember, just do it; time + discipline = compound interest.
8.43 million USDT was not lost; he 'agreed' to send it out himself
8.43 million USDT was not stolen, nor was it hacked—it was he who clicked 'agree' himself, and it was gone three days later.
This guy just couldn't understand:
He was using a Ledger cold wallet,
The private key was never online, the seed phrase was written on paper,
No screenshots, no sharing with others, he was watertight......
And yet, it still got emptied?
After reviewing his on-chain records, all I can say is two words: authorization.
Here's what happened—
To easily check his assets, he installed a browser extension wallet that connected to his Ledger.
The extension looked particularly legitimate:
✅ Supports cold wallet syncing
✅ Simple interface, can view cryptocurrencies + prices
✅ Many community recommendations
He thought it was just to 'check assets' and posed no risk.
But during the connection, he clicked 'authorize signature' once.
This action granted transfer permissions for all coins in the wallet.
Three days later, the cold wallet had just received 8.43 million USDT,
The hacker directly called the contract and withdrew all the balance at once.
No pop-up, no confirmation, it was like signing a blank check in advance.
If the other party wanted to transfer, he didn’t need to click any buttons again.
The on-chain restoration is as follows:
The signature was for the 'SetApprovalForAll' standard contract
The authorized entity was the hacker's aggregate contract
On the day the assets arrived, the funds were swept away in one go
Only one 'call event' remains on the transaction record
After we took over, we analyzed the source of authorization, the flow of funds, marked the hacker's address, and contacted the exchange; currently, some funds have been frozen.
This incident teaches us—
Cold wallets are not invincible,
Hackers don’t need to hack your private key,
As long as you sign something you shouldn't have,
You are handing out the key to your warehouse yourself.
In the crypto world, the biggest pitfall has never been technical vulnerabilities,
In the crypto world, there are daily myths of 'doubling in 3 days', but most people only see the results and not the rhythms and position management behind it.
Many of my followers started with a few thousand U and steadily turned it into tens of thousands of U. Today, I'll talk about the thought process; copying it may not work, but you can understand the logic behind it. Step 1: Protect your capital, don't go all in With a principal of 1000U, the maximum position should not exceed 300U. A rookie's fatal flaw is: seeing an opportunity and going all in, and once they lose, it's over. With a 300U order, even if you lose 30%, you only lose 90U and can still wait for opportunities. As long as the principal is alive, opportunities have meaning.
Step 2: Take profits in waves, rest in between Turning your capital isn't about making profits every day, but about waves + resting. For example: Phase 1: 1000U → 1500U (profit of 50%) Phase 2: Rest for a few days on the spot, just observe without placing orders to prevent impulsiveness. Phase 3: 1500U → 2500U, then rest... By doing this, you can avoid emotional trading, and your capital curve will be much steadier.
Step 3: Always maintain a win-loss ratio greater than 2:1 If taking profits on one trade only yields 50U, but a wrong trade would lose 150U, don't take that trade. My principle is simple: win 2 lose 1; after 10 trades, you can see the difference. This isn't mysticism, it's mathematics. Understanding this will allow your account to gradually grow.
Step 4: Shut down after two losing trades on the same day The market is always there; losing control of your mindset is the biggest enemy of turning your capital. After two losses, regardless of whether the market is bad or you're in a poor state, shut down your computer and exit the app. Many people fail at this step— the more they want to recover, the faster they lose. Turning your capital isn't a battle; it's about extending the timeline.
Step 5: Adding to positions is not gambling, but confirmation From 1000U to 5000U, it relies on compound interest + confirmed position increases. My method is: After each profit, add 30% of the previous trade's profit to the next position. If you make a mistake once, revert to the original position. This way, you can capture market movements without falling back to square one due to one mistake. It may sound slow, but this is a real and feasible rhythm, not the kind of life-or-death 'tenfold trades'. Remember this: Turning your capital isn't about making a killing on one trade, but about systematic position management + a calm rhythm. The vast majority of novices fail due to 'urgency', while experts win with 'stability'.
How to spot market resistance and support levels at a glance?
In the crypto world, key levels are actually where prices tend to stall. Finding them isn't rocket science, just remember these tricks:
① Historical highs and lows: The market's memory spots Open the K-line chart and see if a certain price has failed to break through several times in the past six months or a year - that's a hurdle; if it bounces back several times after falling - that's the bottom. For example, if a certain coin has been knocked down three times when it hit 10, the bears will definitely be there to block the door next time it hits 10; if it bounces back three times when it falls to 5, the bulls will not let it easily break through here. There is fierce game between bulls and bears, and the volatility will be great.
② Integer levels: Psychological lines of human nature There are many retail investors in the crypto world, and integer levels are like red lines. Bitcoin's 30,000, 50,000, 100,000, and altcoins' 1, 0.1. When it breaks through an integer, many people think they should chase it; when it falls to an integer, many people think they should buy the dip. When there are more people, buy and sell orders will naturally concentrate, and this price will become a key level.
③ Long-term consolidation zone: The "dense warehouse" of chips If a certain coin trades sideways between 8 and 10 for a month, and the turnover is still very large, then this range is not simple. When it falls below and rebounds, people who are trapped may cut their losses, and this becomes resistance; when it rises above and retraces, people who have made money may add to their positions, and this becomes support. The longer the consolidation, the larger the turnover, the harder this range will be.
④ Trend line: The market's invisible wall If the price keeps falling, and the highs are lower than the previous ones, connecting these highs is the downward trend line - breaking through it may stop the fall; if it keeps rising, and the lows are higher than the previous ones, connecting them is the upward trend line - breaking through it may cause a callback. No need to pursue millimeter-level precision, just draw it roughly and see if the price hesitates nearby.
⑤ Large order hanging area: The dealer's defense line Look at the depth chart. If a huge amount of orders are hanging at a certain price, such as 60 million buy orders hanging at 6, it is mostly a signal of institutions defending or smashing the market. The price will likely stop here. However, this trick is more suitable for large-cap coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, forget about altcoins.
Key levels are not fixed numbers. For example, if the previous high is 10.2, then 10~10.5 is considered a key area; and the position will change. After a breakout and consolidation, the resistance level may become support. There are no gods in the crypto world, but knowing how to find key levels allows you to ambush early and be harvested less. After all, the market's memory is short, but someone will always guard the key levels.
From a loss of 3 million to 100,000, flipping 50 times: I only did this one action!
In 2022, I lost 3 million overnight on LUNA. From making a fortune to going to zero, I almost smashed my phone. My account was left with 30,000 U, I thought my cryptocurrency career was over.
But I was unwilling. I didn’t want to be someone who got completely wiped out by the market. So I began to reevaluate my trading methods—six months later, this 100,000 U turned into 5 million U.
Today, I’m revealing my “Three Iron Laws of Turning Around”:
1: Never exceed 10% on the first trade, cut losses at 5%! For 10,000 U, if I lose 1,000 U, I withdraw immediately, no waiting! Many people think of flipping the first trade, going all-in, but end up losing the opportunity to recover.
2: Use profits to increase positions, take risks with the money earned. Earn 30%, additional position size = profit × 1.5 Example: 3,000 U earns 900 U, increase position by 1,350 U, total position to 5,250 U. After two consecutive wins, continue to increase with profits, but stop-loss must be moved up!
3: Move stop-loss to take profits, never hold on stubbornly.
Every time it rises by 15%, move the stop-loss up by 12%. Even if the trend hasn’t broken, if it falls, get out—no nostalgia, no fantasies, especially during the rebound phase—flexibility is key.
Why can’t most people turn around? They lose and rush to recover all at once—resulting in faster losses. They don’t dare to increase positions when profitable—missing out on compound returns. They have no revenge plan—completely controlled by emotions.
Want to turn around? It’s simple, but you have to be as cold-blooded as a machine: Execute stop-loss properly. Dare to increase positions when profitable. Gamble with profits, not with principal.
Turning 100,000 U back to 3 million isn’t a dream—it’s just that most people can’t do it. The cryptocurrency market doesn’t care about your tears; it only rewards execution. If you are ready, don’t hesitate, go for it!
I’m not afraid of you laughing, just afraid you won’t learn. In 2021, I directly lost 100,000.
At that time, I earned 200 a day, lost 10,000 in three days, and whether to go long or short depended entirely on my gut feeling, ultimately leading me to doubt life.
When my account was down to 3,000U, I finally woke up. I consulted an experienced trader, and he taught me a set of "rolling warehouse recovery" strategies. Don’t underestimate this 3,000U; I made 60 trades with it, achieving a 71% profit rate.
On the 30th day, I broke 10,000 On the 47th day, I reached 30,000 On the 59th day, I hit 50,000—recovering my original loss in full.
This is not superstition; it’s a systematic approach:
1️⃣ Each trade has "double stop-loss"—if it loses, it’s just a little; if it earns, lock in profits and don’t look back. 2️⃣ Adjusting positions has rhythm, capturing waves precisely, not randomly churning. 3️⃣ When profits hit a target, withdraw 10% and lock it up, don’t go back. 4️⃣ Leverage is only to amplify rhythm, not gambling; it relies on continuous compounding.
While others lose 100,000 in a year, I turned around with 3,000U in two months. It’s not because I’m lucky, but because I learned to survive, stabilize, and then take big waves again. Now, I have a base of 50,000, and my next target is—200,000!
Remember: In the crypto world, opportunities are always left for those who survive.
Cryptocurrency Comeback: From Thousands to Tens of Thousands, the Two Paths I've Walked
The cryptocurrency world is like a casino, but different—some people go to zero overnight, while others multiply their investment tenfold in six months. Today, I won't share motivational quotes, just the pitfalls I've encountered and the comebacks I've made.
First Strategy: Chase Tenfold Coins
Simply put, it's about finding those 'monster coins' that can rise from 1 dollar to 10 dollars. If you catch three of these in a row, your 1,000 can turn into 1,000,000.
How to find them? Focus on projects with disruptive technology Teams with a large user base, active community, and real products Don't go all in at once; divide into many small positions and gradually increase
It sounds great, but the reality is—tenfold coins are as hard to find as a needle in a haystack. With information asymmetry and black swan events, even seasoned investors can miss out.
Second Strategy: Rolling Positions for Leverage This strategy requires more patience. After a market crash leads to sideways movement, sudden breakout signs may indicate an upcoming trend.
My personal principles: Be decisive in the early stages of a trend, only go long, never short With a capital of 50,000, start with just 10% (5,000) for the position Set a 2% stop loss; if it loses, exit, never hold on stubbornly If the trend is right, increase the position by 10% with each rise For example, opening a long position in Bitcoin at 10,000 dollars with 10x leverage is effectively 1x risk because you’re only using a small margin. If it rises to 11,000, keep adding to the position while maintaining the stop loss. This way, if you're wrong, you may only lose 2%, but if you're right, you can snowball your gains.
But remember No matter the strategy, the cryptocurrency world is a high-volatility zone, and black swans are always flying. Leverage is a double-edged sword—doubling your speed can be just as quick as going to zero. Even with a stop loss, if the market spikes, you could get 'liquidated' instantly. So, whether you're trying to catch tenfold coins or play rolling positions, the core message is: don't be greedy, don't go all in, and stay alive for the next opportunity.
How to turn 2000 in cryptocurrency into 50,000? I use this trick!
Simply put, it relies on one thing: contracts to amplify returns.
But don't rush in headfirst; you need to prepare like you're going to war, build your troops first, then strike.
The first time I played, I turned 7000 into 300U, taking a few steps.
Step 1: Small capital snowball (300U → 1100U)
Each time, I only risked 100U, focusing on the hottest coins at the moment.
Two strict rules:
① Double your money and run (if 100 turns into 200, stop immediately)
② If it drops to 50U, cut your losses, never hold on.
Once I won three times in a row, from 100U → 200U → 400U → 800U, cashing out the same day.
But during this stage, luck plays a big part; play no more than three rounds, don't be greedy, and secure 1100U.
Step 2: With more money, play combination punches (starting from 1100U)
Divide the money into three groups:
1️⃣ Quick entry and exit type (100U)
Trade BTC/ETH on short-term 15-minute charts, cash out for a 3%-5% gain, like a street vendor—collect your earnings after flipping a table.
2️⃣ Zen-style regular investment (15U weekly)
Buy Bitcoin contracts regularly every week, don’t check the charts for six months to a year, just consider it saving money. Don’t panic if it drops; it’s a long-term hold.
3️⃣ Trend-heavy positions (all remaining capital)
Focus on major trends, like news of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, BTC could skyrocket, go all in!
But set your rules in advance: cash out if you double your money, accept a loss of 20% immediately.
Strict rules:
Never risk more than 1/10 of your capital at a time, never go all in.
Every trade must have a stop-loss.
Play a maximum of 3 trades a day.
Withdraw immediately upon reaching your target, never linger.
To be honest, those who turn their fortunes around with this strategy are not gamblers, but rather those who are tough on others and even tougher on themselves.
What you want is not to get rich all at once, but to steadily grasp your money back time after time.
Stop pondering over K lines; the real money-makers focus on these few things
After being in the crypto space for a long time, I discovered a truth:
Few people get rich by predicting the market, but many survive by maintaining their rhythm.
I don’t pick coins, and I don’t draw lines and guess every day. I only pay attention to people—
Every morning, I check which large wallet addresses are moving unusually;
Which order book suddenly thickens and can absorb large orders;
Which communities are quiet while on-chain funds are still flowing in.
Just like back then with Solana, when no one was hyping it yet, large funds were frequently moving, the order book was getting sturdier, and the community seemed calm while funds were secretly pouring in. A friend decisively bought at 3 dollars and made 200 dollars, steadily tripling his investment.
I don’t gamble on price rises or falls; I only engage in things with an 80% certainty. During a three-day plummet, when everyone was panicking and cutting positions, I saw the main force hadn’t retreated, so I dared to buy the dip. During the crash in 2022, there was a giant whale who noticed the on-chain funds were stable as a mountain in a quiet community, decisively entered the market, and ended up enjoying a nice rebound.
My rhythm is very simple:
Only add positions after a 20% profit, using a pyramid stacking method. Each trade should not lose more than 5%. If I lose three times in a row, I simply turn off my computer and take a break. I don’t chase uptrends, I don’t go all in, and I don’t stay up late watching the market.
Some say this is too conservative, but I’ve seen too many people who “go all in and lose everything overnight.” No matter how talented you are, you can’t withstand a few critical mistakes.
A friend named Liang Xi didn’t blindly operate during the wide fluctuations of ETH; instead, he used the “long and short double play” method to profit from the volatility, accurately going long at the lowest point, turning 2000 dollars in capital into 1 million. This isn’t luck; it’s rhythm + discipline.
I once told a friend: “You’re not a gambler, but your operating method is even more reckless than that of a gambler.” He smiled and didn’t say anything, but later he finally understood—don’t chase those who are rising fast; those who can withstand the fall are the true kings.
Many people think they lose because they lack opportunities, but in reality, they lose because they lack control. The crypto world is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. Those who last until the end are not the smartest, but the most stable.
There are daily market conditions, everyone has dreams of getting rich quickly, but what allows your money to grow steadily is your rhythm that is not influenced by emotions.
Remember, learn to survive first, then you’ll have the qualification to make big money.
I have been through the crypto space for many years and have seen too many stories of "getting rich overnight, going to zero in an instant." In the end, trading cryptocurrencies is not about who makes money fast, but who lasts the longest.
Today, I would like to share my 15 survival rules for the crypto world, follow them, and you will at least be able to live longer than most people.
1. Principal First Protecting your principal is your only bottom line for surviving in the market. Without capital, you don’t even have the qualification for the next round.
2. No Greed, Stable Earnings Small profits, more frequent. Slow is fast. Don’t think you can get rich overnight.
3. Diversify Investments, Leave Room Never go all in; when the market reverses, you need an exit strategy.
4. No Heavy Positions, No FOMO Go with the trend and avoid emotional trading.
5. Buy Slowly, Sell Quickly Accumulate in batches during sideways movement, decisively sell when you reach your target, don’t hesitate.
6. You Can’t Make All Profits, But You Can Lose Everything Never think about cleaning out the market; it will make you pay the price.
7. Cut Losses Immediately When Fundamentals Deteriorate Those who delay cutting losses often end up back to square one overnight.
8. Long-Term View Weekly, Ultra Long-Term View Monthly Stop when trends reverse; what you have in hand is what counts.
9. The Market Always Reverses Don’t fantasize that rises will last forever, the same goes for declines.
10. Don’t Trade Without Opportunities Missing opportunities is normal; what you catch is yours.
11. Waiting for Opportunities is Better Than Searching for Them Patience is the biggest moat in the crypto world.
12. Stop When You Meet Your Goals Energy is limited; don’t watch the market until you lose control.
13. Cutting Losses is a Responsibility, Profits are a Blessing The market owes you nothing, don’t turn it around.
14. Real Profits Come from Waiting Frequent trading will only wear you out.
15. Desire Breaks Mindset, Execution Can Save You Have a plan, execute it, and don’t be hijacked by emotions.
These words sound easy, but are very difficult to practice. The crypto world has never been about who runs fastest, but about who can walk to the end.
Remember: Surviving gives you the chance to wait for the next wave of market.
《How to Safely Transfer Money from the Crypto World to Your Bank Account?》
Many people jump in and out of the crypto market, showing profits of hundreds of thousands or even millions on paper, but when it comes to the 'withdrawal' step, they get anxious—not because they're afraid of low exchange rates, but because they're worried about their accounts being frozen and their money not coming out. I've stumbled through this and have summarized a 'Four-Step Safe Withdrawal Method' that can help you avoid 90% of the risks if followed correctly.
① Choose a Stable Platform and Reliable Merchant Only use OTC from top platforms like Binance and OKX for withdrawals, as large merchants have strict reviews, fast processing, and support T+1. Try to avoid operations after 8 PM; customer service is off duty, and if you enter the card number incorrectly or the amount is unusual, your money might get stuck halfway.
② Withdraw to Wallet First, Wait Three Days Before Transferring Don’t withdraw directly from the exchange to your bank account. First, withdraw to a cold wallet you usually use (like MetaMask or Trust) and leave it untouched for three days to let the blockchain record it as 'cold'. New wallets and large transfers are the combination that banks love to monitor.
③ Three Iron Rules—Most People Fail Here Split the amount: For 100,000, divide into 5 + 3 + 2 ten thousand, with one transaction every other day; for 1,000,000, split into 8 transactions, with each separated by 2 to 3 days. Use a daily use card for receiving funds: The card you use for takeout, paying utilities, or repaying a mortgage is the safest. Maintain card activity: The day before receiving a large amount, make a few regular purchases to make the bank think your card activity is 'normal'.
④ Don’t Rush to Move Money After It’s Received—Be Careful in the Last 10 Meters The payer's name must match the order; if not, return and redo it. Make the remarks clean, preferably leave it blank or write 'living expenses'. Do not move large amounts within 48 hours of receipt; on the third day, transfer in batches, with each transfer ≤ 20,000.
⑤ Two Areas to Avoid Don’t sell USDT directly; first, exchange for CNC/QC or go through Blue Shield merchants, which is much safer. Don’t 'test transfer' 1 yuan; this action will directly get tagged as 'virtual currency trading' by the system.
One-Line Reminder: Let the wallet cool for three days, choose everyday cards; Split transfers into smaller amounts, don’t move large amounts immediately; Be cautious selling USDT directly, Blue Shield is more secure.
Making money in crypto isn't hard; the difficult part is safely getting your money into your hands. These experiences are lessons I learned the hard way, and I hope you take fewer detours.
8 Key Principles of Position Management to Avoid Being a 'Fully Invested Retail Investor'
In the cryptocurrency market, 99% of liquidations are not due to market conditions, but rather issues with position management. If you want to survive in this volatile environment, you must first learn this set of principles.
① Golden Ratio Method Divide your capital into 5 parts, using only 1/5 for each position. A single stop-loss should only incur a 2% loss; even if you experience 5 consecutive stop-losses, your total loss will not exceed 10%. Meanwhile, aim for a profit target of 50%+, resulting in a risk-reward ratio of 5:1. Small losses with big gains will allow you to go further.
② Follow the Trend The trend is the only truth in the cryptocurrency market. A rebound in a downtrend is a trap, while a correction in an uptrend is an opportunity. Adding positions during a bull market correction has a 67% higher success rate than blindly trying to catch the bottom.
③ Avoid the Trap of Sudden Surge Cryptocurrencies that surge more than 50% in the short term are generally part of a pump-and-dump scheme. Historical data shows that coins that skyrocket 300% in 72 hours have a 95% chance of giving back all gains within two weeks. Once the hype fades, prices can plummet.
④ MACD Zero Axis Rule A golden cross below the zero axis indicates a buy signal; a death cross above the zero axis serves as a warning to reduce positions. This method helped me capture an 18% swing in BTC in April 2024.
⑤ Profit Scaling, Refuse to Average Down Averaging down means adding leverage to losses. The correct approach is to add to your position with profits when you achieve a 20% gain, which amplifies returns without harming your principal.
⑥ Volume-Price Code Trading volume is the thermometer of the market. A breakout on high volume at a low price is a signal to start; high volume stagnation at a high price is a warning to exit. 'High volume, high price; low volume, low price' is the survival code for seasoned investors.
⑦ Moving Average Matrix 3-Day Moving Average → Ultra-short opportunity 30-Day Moving Average → Mid-term wave 84-Day Moving Average → Main upward trend 120-Day Moving Average → Long-term trend Moving averages are the most stable navigation tools.
⑧ Review Alchemy Ask yourself three questions at the end of each trading day: Logic: Has the fundamental situation of the coin changed? Technical: Does the weekly K-line pattern still meet expectations? Emotion: Was today's trading rational or driven by emotions?
The cryptocurrency market is not a place to flip fortunes with a couple of lucky trades, but rather a game of slow accumulation based on positions and discipline.
Remember this: The market can be deceiving, but your positions cannot.
Crypto Insights: 8 Epiphanies from Newbie to Veteran
10 years ago, I was staring at the screen watching liquidation K-lines, sweating nervously; now, I rely on these 8 trading insights to transform from a newbie to a veteran. Once you understand the crypto world, life is like enlightenment – you will form your own investment system.
Mornings Game Rules
Early morning waterfall drop (down -10% or more) = golden pit, place orders to pick up bloody chips Early morning rocket-like rise (up +15% or more) = institutional trap, take profit in batches
(Statistics: BTC's early morning surges in the past three years have fallen back in the midday 78% of the time)
Afternoon Offense and Defense Strategies
13:00-15:00 Volume surge, combined with futures long-short ratio > 1.2, beware of luring more Build a 5% observation position when the price falls in a ladder-like pattern, and add to the position the next day at 9:30 if the previous low is not broken
Three Major Anti-Human Iron Laws
1⃣ Don't cut losses on a sharp drop (64% of V-shaped reversals start in the US session) 2⃣ Don't take action during sideways trading (win rate < 3% is only 41%) 3⃣ Place sell orders when everyone is enthusiastic (greed index > 75 automatically premium 5%)
End of three consecutive yin + volume shrinks to below MA20 → Pyramid building position (add 10% position if it falls 3%) Two yangs interspersed with one yin + USDT premium turns positive → Inverted pyramid take profit (reduce 20% if it rises 5%)
Consolidation Period Guide
7 days of high-level consolidation = change warning, chase the rise/stop loss if it falls below 13 days of low-level consolidation = golden building position day, verified by large on-chain transfers
Secrets of Rushing to Escape the Top
Historical high 3 false breakthroughs (pin insertion > 8%) → "3322" take profit: 30% current price, 30% ±5%, 20% ±10%, 20% keep the trend
The real crypto practice is to see the trajectory of funds in the data mist, and to maintain trading discipline in the emotional whirlpool.
Follow @首席交易员-小刀 , I will use real trading and data to walk through my "enlightenment" path and turn other people's pits into your opportunities.
I am 40 years old, have been trading cryptocurrencies for 10 years, and have grown my investment from a few thousand to eight figures.
I started at 22, and by 2023-2024, my funds surpassed eight figures.
My current lifestyle — I always stay in high-end hotels costing around 2000 yuan, carrying luggage and wearing hats with cryptocurrency symbols. Compared to the older generation who run businesses or do e-commerce, my life is much easier, with no disputes and no worries.
The biggest secret to trading cryptocurrencies is not technology, but mindset. Over these 10 years, I have summarized a few iron rules:
1️⃣ BTC is the leader. Most of the time, Bitcoin's rise and fall drives the market; Ethereum occasionally diverges and moves independently, but altcoins generally can't escape its influence.
2️⃣ BTC and USDT are inversely correlated. When USDT rises, be wary of BTC falling; when BTC rises, it's actually a good time to buy USDT.
3️⃣ Needle insertion at 0-1 AM. Before going to bed in China, place low buy orders and high sell orders, and you might wake up to profits.
4️⃣ Judging the whole day's trend from 6-8 AM. If it falls from 0-6 AM and continues to fall from 6-8 AM, it’s likely to rise that day; if it rises from 0-6 AM and continues to rise from 6-8 AM, it’s likely to fall that day.
5️⃣ Be cautious of fluctuations at 5 PM. When Americans wake up and start working, the market can easily change dramatically.
6️⃣ Pay more attention on Fridays. “Black Friday” has seen multiple significant drops, but it’s not absolute; watch the news.
7️⃣ Quality coins are not afraid of falling. Coins with trading volume can break even in as little as 3 days or as long as a month; averaging down can lower costs.
8️⃣ Long-term wins over frequent trading.
Dogecoin bought at 0.089 has increased more than 20 times now. Trading cryptocurrencies is not about jumping in and out every day, but about understanding trends, controlling your mindset, and waiting for opportunities.
I have rarely stepped into catastrophic pitfalls, not because I am lucky, but because I have always respected the market's rhythm.
If you want to thrive and earn steadily in the cryptocurrency space, remember: mindset first, technique second. Follow @首席交易员-小刀 , and I will walk you through my next trading strategy in real-time, turning my 10 years of experience into your opportunity for a turnaround.
Born in '85, 40 years old, with a net worth of 20 million. I have navigated the crypto market's bull and bear phases using 8 iron rules.
Born in '85, now 40 years old.
I've been in the market for over a decade, starting with a few tens of thousands in capital, and now my net worth has surpassed 20 million. Along the way, I have witnessed countless people becoming rich, going bankrupt, and losing everything… I myself have stumbled, endured bear markets, and missed wave after wave of opportunities. Looking back, these 8 iron rules are the foundation that has allowed me to survive and continue to thrive:
1️⃣ Only use idle funds to participate
The money used to enter the market must be funds that won’t be needed in the short term. Living expenses, mortgage payments, and retirement funds must not be touched. Losing money should not affect your living; only then can you maintain the mindset to wait for opportunities.
2️⃣ Strictly set stop-loss lines
Every trade must have a stop-loss set; cut losses at 10%-15% immediately. Small losses are not scary; deep losses are fatal. A stop-loss is not cowardice; it is a lifeline.
3️⃣ Refuse leverage and contracts
Leverage can double your money overnight, but it can also bring you to zero overnight. During extreme market conditions, the risks are ten times what you imagine. If you want to last longer, stay away from it first.
4️⃣ Do not chase highs or panic sell
The market is often at a high when it is the most bustling, and the most panic is actually an opportunity. Build your own judgment instead of dancing to the rhythm of price emotions.
5️⃣ Prioritize position management
Do not exceed 30% position in a single coin, and never operate with a full position. Keep some bullets in reserve to take action when opportunities arise, rather than watching them slip away.
6️⃣ Do not blindly trust 'insider information'
The so-called 'insider information' you hear is likely a trap set for you by others. Do your own research, focus on the fundamentals, and do not get led by stories.
7️⃣ Learn to take profits
The biggest enemy when making profits is greed. Set clear targets (doubling, +50%, etc.) and take profits in batches. The thrill of a roller coaster ride is not a way to make money.
8️⃣ Control your emotions
Do not rush to double down when losing, and do not inflate and open positions recklessly when winning. Staying calm is the most scarce ability of a trader.
These 8 rules are not trading skills, but the path to survival.
Many people lose not because they cannot read the market, but because their mindset, position, and discipline all collapse.
Remember, the crypto market is not lacking in opportunities; what it lacks is you surviving until the opportunities come.
