Turning 4200 dollars into 110,000 dollars sounds like a fairy tale, right? But this actually happened last year.

A guy suffered losses twice in a row, and his account was left with 4200U, almost making him quit the circle. At that time, I didn't advise him to bottom-fish and go all in, but gave him three pieces of advice: don't go heavy on positions, don't go all in, and don't add to your position against the trend.

How to operate? In the first wave, only let him move 20% of the money, and when he earns 30%, directly withdraw half to the cold wallet to lock it; in the second wave, continue to roll the money just earned; in the third wave, the principal remains untouched, relying entirely on profits to play.

In about fifty days, 4200 turned into 110,000. The most thrilling moment was when ETH surged, with a paper profit of 14,000 dollars. The market started to panic sell, and many thought it could continue to rise and held on, only to get completely stuck. At that moment, he nervously hit the stop profit button — the next day, ETH directly broke through the previous low. At that moment, he figured it out: those who truly survive in the crypto world are not the ones who make the most profit, but those who know when to walk away.

Everyone often regards rolling positions as a secret to getting rich quickly, but in fact, the understanding is reversed. The real way to roll is to first protect the principal; every time you make a profit, lock in a portion of it to build a thicker safety cushion. It may seem slow, but in reality, it's like a snowball rolling downhill, gaining momentum as it goes.

Since then, his account has never blown up again. When the market comes, he dares to act; when the wind direction is not right, he withdraws immediately. It relies on mindset, but even more on rules.

I have been in this circle for eight years, from liquidation to recovery. It's not because I'm smart, but just that I've survived a few more rounds than others. The crypto world is not lacking in brave warriors, but it lacks experienced hands that know when to sheathe their swords. Stability does not mean making money slowly, but rather not losing money first.

Recently, I've been looking at the fourth round of opportunities. It may not necessarily be BTC or ETH, but those who can truly implement this set of discipline are probably less than one in ten. If you also agree with the logic of "you have to survive before you can talk about making money," then this opportunity is worth paying attention to.

ETH0.89%

BTC0.1%

Talking about take profit is easy, but when it comes to realizing those unrealized gains, it’s hard to take action. I just can't believe it. The difference between someone earning a million and someone earning ten million might just be that the latter knows when to lock in profits. Rollover isn’t really about how much you earn; it’s about not looking back, not regretting, and not changing your mind. This routine sounds intimidating, but the degree of execution determines everything. Most people still fall to greed. It's true that those who survive in the crypto world are not geniuses; they are just timid people who know when to stop loss.

You are right, I completely agree with this logic. In the crypto world, longevity is truly the key to being a winner. --- The moment of take profit is indeed a moment of enlightenment, and many people fall victim to greed. --- The most critical thing is to have discipline; most people say they agree, but when the market comes, they still go all in. --- Protecting your principal is extremely important; many people go all in to turn things around only to end up getting trapped. --- Crypto Veterans who know when to stop are indeed rare; I've seen too many who made money only to give it back. --- Rollover is essentially about mindset management, not a technical skill. --- I don't believe even one out of ten people can execute this discipline; most can't endure the first drawdown.

Simply put, it's a mindset issue; those who are greedy have not survived to today.

To be honest, this logic sounds cliché, but those who have survived until now have all done it this way. The key is still the mindset—once you get greedy, it's all gone in an instant. --- Yet another story of turning 4,200 into something big. Every time, someone believes it, and every time, someone ends up liquidated. Rules do matter, but too few actually follow them. --- The real epiphany comes at the moment you take profits. Most people never get to experience that. --- After all these years in the game, just surviving is harder than chasing riches. --- Preserving capital first, then making money—nothing new about this topic, but those who can actually stick to it are truly one in a million. The question is, when the next cycle comes, how many people will still remember this lesson? --- This is why most people have a short life in crypto—those who know when to quit become the seasoned veterans.
