Whether you can make money in the Crypto Assets market is actually not much related to how quick-witted you are. The real dividing line is—do you have a strategy to keep yourself alive?
Last year witnessed a friend's operation in the circle: starting with a capital of 20,000 USDT, he eventually reached 6 million.
This is not about luck, nor does it rely on any extraordinary talent. The core is just two words: self-discipline. Plus continuous review.
What is the biggest difference between him and most players? He never fantasizes about getting rich overnight; all he thinks about is one thing - don't die.
He has a strict rule in capital management: never go all in.
No matter how crazy the market gets, only invest up to one-fifth of your position. Sounds conservative? Maybe. But the reality is, he can withstand five mistakes, and when he gets it right on the sixth try, he can recover all the previous losses in one go.
What about many people? They go all in, and when the market moves against them for three minutes, they start to doubt their whole existence.
In terms of operational logic, he only takes trend trades. He does not catch the bottom or touch the top.
Earn a little less? It doesn't matter, going against the trend is the real trap. He remains calm during market surges and does not act impulsively when altcoins take off.
He once said something that left a deep impression on me: "The rapidly rising coin is not an opportunity, but a trap."
At that time, I was still skeptical, but after being trapped a few times, I realized - a surge often equals a trap for the inexperienced.
In terms of technical analysis, he trusts MACD the most. Increase positions on golden crosses and decrease positions on death crosses.
No signal? I'd rather sit on the sidelines and binge-watch dramas. Others find it boring; he calls it "waiting for money to come."
The most ruthless is the habit of reviewing trades. Every transaction is recorded: Why did I enter? Why did I exit?
If you lose, investigate the reason; if you gain, summarize the logic.
His original words were: "Reviewing is not to prove that you are right, but to make fewer of the same mistakes."
This matter has completely made me understand a principle:
The market never rewards a one-time explosion; it only rewards long-term restraint.
If you can endure, stay calm, and recover your position, your win rate will naturally increase.
The crypto assets market has never been about who is more aggressive, but rather who can make money at their own pace amidst the noise.

To put it simply, it means having seen it all in life, those who went all in are now ashes.

In simple terms, the longer you live, the more you earn; those who went all in have long since died on the beach.

To be honest, I learned this the hard way: Full Position can lead to losses, while going All in feels good for a moment, but closing all positions ends up in a disaster.

That's right, but I've found that most people simply can't do it.

You're absolutely right, it's all about survival. My fren does the same, never goes all in, and as a result, has actually made quite a bit.

You're absolutely right, it's not about being quick-witted, it's about self-discipline and staying alive. My fren is also like this, never goes for a Full Position, if they don't understand, they just take a Short Position and binge-watch shows, and as a result, they've made ten times their investment in a year. In contrast, those who go All in start complaining within three minutes.

To be honest, a one-fifth Position does sound a bit conservative... but being able to recover after making five mistakes, I have to admit that logic is quite brilliant.

You are absolutely right, my fren is also like this, with a five-position allocation, he easily left the All in people several blocks behind.

To be honest, this guy's approach is simply to live long. Starting with 20,000 to make 6 million sounds great, but the details are what truly matter. The thing about having a one-fifth position, I used to think it was conservative, until I experienced getting liquidated a few times by going all in — surviving allows you to keep playing. The most heartbreaking part of reviewing trades is that most people are happy when they make money and blame the market when they lose, while this guy looks at the reasons behind every trade, and that’s the difference between making money and being wiped out.
