#比特币2026年行情展望 That loss taught me what true investing is
The moment my account dropped from 2.17 million to 43,000, I sat in the bathroom crying uncontrollably. When my wife’s message about early education expenses came in, I completely broke down — that’s when I realized I had been playing for keeps, not investing.
After some reflection, I made a decision: to completely abandon all aggressive strategies. From that day on, I sealed off all leveraged positions and started developing a methodology to survive.
Later, I gathered a group of friends who had been battered by the market, and together we established strict rules. First is position management — using a pyramid layered approach, initially opening only two positions, and only gradually adding more when truly profitable. The single trade stop-loss must never exceed 1%, which is the bottom line.
In 2023, the market was highly volatile, but it just proved this system right. We gradually uncovered a pattern: when the four-hour chart and daily chart both show a golden cross, and volume doubles, that’s when the opportunity is relatively certain. Combining volume analysis to identify genuine breakouts — which must meet three conditions simultaneously: hitting new highs, doubling volume, and not breaking support for three consecutive days — helps avoid falling for false signals.
Over three years, this small group grew from 18 people to over a thousand. Most importantly: 28 months without a single liquidation. Some have paid off their mortgages through steady compound gains, others have saved enough for their children’s study abroad funds.
Today, I am most grateful for that night of despair. It taught me that there are no shortcuts in the crypto world, only iron rules. Solo trading is easily broken by the market, but a reliable team and a scientific system can help you survive longer and stay steadier.

Only after experiencing it do you understand—seeing the value drop from 2.17 million to 43,000 really breaks your defenses.

2.17 million drops to 43,000... How desperate must that be? I can't even think about how to continue right now.

2.17 million crashes down to 43,000... Isn't this the consequence of poorly implemented boundary checks in the smart contract? The entire system design is just a vulnerability.

2.17 million to 43,000, how brutal is that... But on the other hand, people who haven't experienced this kind of despair simply can't understand how precious that system is.

2.17 million to 43,000... This story really tugs at my heart, but that set of strict rules later on does have some value.

The drop from 2.17 million to 43,000 is truly insane; anyone would go crazy if it happened to them.
