#数字资产市场动态 I've seen too many people get stuck in one place—earning money but unable to withdraw.

Last week, a friend called me in the middle of the night, sounding very urgent. They had finally exchanged 300,000 USDT for fiat currency and were trying to transfer it to their bank card when the system suddenly popped up "Non-counter transaction suspended," and the card was frozen. I was completely stunned at the time.

But this situation isn't actually hopeless. Similar cases have about a 90% chance of being resolved. The key is to actively cooperate with the relevant authorities, providing transaction details, chat records, transfer receipts all at once, to verify that you haven't done anything wrong. In the end, the money will come back. The only problem is that this process can be very frustrating—annoying, time-consuming, and even the most stable mindset can be pushed to the point of wanting to smash your phone.

To avoid such trouble, I later got a dedicated card solely for OTC transactions. Nothing is linked to this card—no paying utilities, no ordering takeout, no other daily expenses—it's just a tool for trading.

My habit is: to find long-term, reputable counterparts, never to risk a few bucks over a slightly better price, and never to accept unfamiliar accounts. For large withdrawals, I never do it all at once; I split it into several transactions, and after each withdrawal, I leave the funds in the card for two or three days before moving them again, giving the account a buffer period.

These practices may sound tedious, but they can help you avoid big pitfalls. I've seen too many people who earned hundreds of thousands or even over a million, only to get stuck at the withdrawal step. That feeling is truly incomparable.

So remember this: earning profits is only the first half of the game; truly securing your money and putting it into your pocket is what counts. Success in crypto trading relies not just on market intuition and technical analysis, but also on maturity and caution. Many can bottom fish, but those who can make money, preserve their gains, and walk away intact are the real veterans.

Really, this is the most heartbreaking lesson. Making money is easy, but withdrawing is difficult. Many people get stuck here. This method of partial withdrawals is indeed reliable; I do it this way too. But it’s still a bit annoying, having to juggle so many times. 30,000 yuan was directly frozen... Damn, just thinking about it makes me suffocate. The claim that 90% can be resolved sounds quite reassuring. The idea of using dedicated cards for dedicated purposes is something I need to remember; it can save a lot of trouble. Ultimately, you still need to find trustworthy counterparts; otherwise, no matter how cautious you are, it’s all in vain. Making money is just the appetizer; the real test is in the exit. This really hit me.

300,000 stuck in withdrawal issues is really crazy. I’ve also been frozen before, and that feeling truly makes you want to smash your phone.

Can't hold it anymore... 300,000 USDT stuck in withdrawal, this is the most heartbreaking part of making money --- Professional traders' methods are indeed reliable, but honestly most retail investors simply can't be that meticulous --- I really need to remember that one OTC card, really --- Why does it feel like now frozen bank cards are more terrifying than being trapped... --- Is it true that 90% of this problem can be solved? My buddies around me took three months to get it sorted out --- The key is this "buffer period," many people just lack this crucial step --- Earning the money and actually getting it in hand are completely different; this principle is too profound --- It's easy to say find a reputable counterparty, but who is reliable these days? --- Splitting orders for withdrawal—I've never been so particular about this detail before --- It makes me angry just thinking about it; clearly capable of making a profit, but it all gets ruined at the withdrawal stage

300,000 stuck there is really incredible. I've experienced something similar, and it took over a month to unfreeze... --- That's why I never chase after a few bucks of profit when doing OTC now. It's just not worth it. --- Making money is easy, withdrawing is hard. That's really true; some people around me have been stuck before. --- I'm also using the batch withdrawal method. It’s a bit more troublesome, but it gives me peace of mind. --- The key is to find a reliable counterparty. I won't touch any unfamiliar accounts, no matter how cheap they are. --- Getting the money into your hands is what matters. No matter how impressive the first half is, if you can't withdraw, it's useless. --- I agree with the idea of a buffer period. Not rushing to move funds can indeed help avoid risks. --- The more you earn, the less you can preserve. That's the harsh reality. --- It's really a matter of psychological resilience. Many people haven't even considered this step. --- I learned how to open a separate card. I'll do the same in the future.
