#美SEC促进加密创新监管体系 Crypto market six survival rules: Crypto Veterans' blood and tears summary, a must-read for newcomers!



Having been in the crypto market for a few years, I've seen too many people become rich and then go back to zero. In summary, those who survive until the end adhere to these six iron rules.

Don't be a blind person with open eyes; your fundamentals must be solid.
Spend at least a week understanding how to read candlestick charts and what the trading rules are before entering the market. Those groups boasting about "insider information" and "hundredfold coins" should be avoided. The market doesn't believe in stories, only in serious gold and silver. After each operation, review: Why did I buy? Why did I sell? How can I improve next time? This is more effective than listening to ten "teachers" give lectures.

[Stable] Living is more important than getting rich quickly.
Play with money you can afford to lose, preferably spare money that you won't need for three months. $BTC and $ETH should make up the bulk of your holdings, altcoins? Cap it at 10%, treat it like a lottery ticket. I've seen too many people leverage and borrow money to go all in, and end up losing their houses. Remember: earning slowly is earning, losing quickly is real loss.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
70% in mainstream coins (like Bitcoin and Ethereum), 20% in reliable altcoins, and the remaining 10% kept for bottom fishing. A certain coin suddenly plummets? You only lose that portion of your position at most. This isn't conservative; it's the strategy of Crypto Veterans.

[忍] The itch to trade is a common ailment among retail investors.
When others are showing their profit charts, you have to resist the urge to chase. When the coin price is halved, you have to resist the urge to panic sell. Want to increase your position after a 30% rise? Hold on, wait for a pullback. The market is there every day, but if you lose your capital, it's gone. True Crypto Veterans might only make a move three to five times a year.

【Stop】Set the take profit and stop loss lines.
Made 20%-30%? Sell half to lock in profits, and set a trailing stop for the rest to play slowly. If you lose more than 5%? Cut losses and leave, don’t fantasize about "waiting a bit longer to break even." Countless people end up not wanting to cut losses, turning small losses into big ones, and big losses into liquidation.

[戒] Greed will eat away all profits
Don't get carried away when making money, and don't lose your head when losing money. Has a coin reached its target price? Withdraw decisively, don’t think "it can go up a bit more." Are you stuck? If you need to give up, then do it; there are plenty of opportunities in the market. I've seen too many people not sell after making a 50% profit, only to end up losing 30% and having to cut their losses.

These six rules are simple to say but difficult to execute. The market will always tempt you to break them, but as long as you adhere to these principles, you won't become the "leek" story of someone else.

honestly the portfolio allocation math checks out but ngl, timing the exit window is where most people hemorrhage gwei... seen too many holders panic sell right before the bounce, literally the opposite of optimal execution. the real play isn't just holding 70/20/10—it's knowing *when* the gas oracle stops lying to you. that's the edge.

You're absolutely right, but 99% of people forget it after reading. It's no wonder the market is so wealthy for those who can really stick to these six rules.

You're right, but the execution is the hardest part. That guy around me wanted to go all in after making 50%, but ended up getting trapped, haha.

Oh, isn't that just the lesson I learned from my blood loss last year... I'm particularly serious about stop loss now.

The percentage allocation sounds right, but there are really not many who can stick to it.

The most heart-wrenching part is that "itchy hand" feeling; I totally get it, I want to make a move every day.

This thing is a psychological battle, much more complex than looking at candlesticks.

honestly the 70/30 portfolio split is mathematically suboptimal if you analyze actual transaction data from successful wallets, but fine i guess it works for most people who can't optimize properly

You all make valid points, but executing is the most difficult part. I have a friend who nods along to such articles like he's pounding garlic, but then turns around and goes all in on altcoins, and is still hoping to breakeven.

It's this theory again, it's right but really not many people can do it.

It's easy to say, but when it comes time to increase the position, the hands just don't listen.

I just want to know how those who only make a move three to five times a year survive in this market.

Stop loss in this area is truly a skill; how many people have died at the hands of their unwillingness to play people for suckers...

You are right, it's hard to execute... I'm the kind of person who can't bear to sell after making 30%, and in the end, I end up cutting losses with a 20% loss.

You are quite right, but I find that most people simply cannot do [忍], they are the opposite examples.

It's a painful lesson, those who went all in are now regretting it.

Take profit and stop loss sound simple, but it's really difficult to execute, the mindset collapses.

The saying that living is more important than getting rich should be engraved in every newcomer’s heart.

After so many years, there are still people who refuse to believe and insist on taking a gamble, which is understandable.

You're right, it's hard to execute. My fren couldn't hold on to the fifth rule, wanting to wait for a 50% Slump to play people for suckers after making 30%, and now they're still in the trap.
