Many newcomers enter the circle just thinking about turning things around in one shot. To be honest, people like that won't go very far.
When I started, I only had a few thousand yuan, no background and no huge capital, but now my account has reached seven figures. It sounds a bit exaggerated, but every bit of profit was earned step by step, not luck.
The premise of making big money is not to gamble.
I never worry about how much I can earn from this wave of the market; I only ask myself one question: Is this trade worth it? If yes, I enter the market; if not, even if it later skyrockets, I won't touch it.
**The most important thing in the early stage is not to make quick money, but to learn how to survive.**
In the first few years, I focused not on how to double quickly, but on how not to get liquidated. I started with 1000 yuan for practice, splitting it into several small positions, setting stop-loss and take-profit points before each entry. No chasing rallies, no margin calls, no guessing bottoms—only trading what I can understand and explain clearly.
When my funds grew to over ten thousand, I slightly adjusted my rhythm, but my position management remained strict, never going all-in. Only when I truly saw a trend emerging would I add positions gradually—and only in the most stable middle segment.
Later, when my account broke through hundreds of thousands, I became even more cautious. I regularly took profits to lock in gains, not because I was afraid of losses, but because I was afraid of getting cocky.
Too many people end up not losing to market fluctuations but to the illusion of "I am already capable." This misconception is the most deadly.
**Steadiness itself is the strongest leverage.**
People who turn things around have generally stepped into a few pits: poor position control, no stop-loss set, impulsiveness.
You say the direction was right but it still blew up? Then 99% of the time, it’s because of greed. Recently, a fan managed to go from a few hundred yuan to over ten thousand, and he was so excited at the moment of withdrawal that he couldn’t sleep all night. It’s not about the amount, but the first time he truly confirmed—he can survive in this market.
I’m not here to show off how great I am; I just want to honestly say: In the crypto world, it’s not about who has the biggest guts, but who can better control themselves.

To be honest, after reading so many stories about "seven-digit accounts," what truly impresses me are those who can resist going all-in. Most people, including myself, have fallen victim to greed multiple times.

the "learn to survive first" framework is lowkey just applied sentiment analysis on your own portfolio psychology. dude's basically describing optimal portfolio volatility management dressed up as life advice lol

Really, seeing someone else trying to go all-in and turn things around makes me think of how foolish I was back then... Living is the top priority.
