The fastest way to get wiped out in the crypto world is not a sudden crash, but your unstoppable trading desire.



Many beginners with a $10,000 dream enter the market, only to go all-in at the slightest wind, as if they can achieve financial freedom in the next second. When prices rise, they get euphoric; when they fall, they panic. In the end, their accounts are left with just a pile of tuition fees.

I've fallen into the same trap—thinking I had the right direction, only to end up losing everything. After being liquidated several times, I finally understood: the ones who survive the longest in this market are not the ones who make the fastest gains, but those who can endure losses and maintain their rhythm.

My approach is actually very simple: two words—slow and steady.

How exactly do I operate? Start with small positions to test the waters. Once the direction is confirmed, gradually add to the position. If a mistake is identified, exit immediately—no greed, no stubborn battles. It may sound dull, but the account curve steadily trends upward.

Some say I’m too cautious, but this "caution" is earned through several liquidations. When there’s no market movement, I can comfortably stay out for days. When the rhythm comes, I focus my firepower. I’m not betting on market direction; I just manage my positions and timing well.

Honestly, most people lose not because of poor technical analysis, but because of greed. Don’t go all-in on the bottom, don’t gamble your living expenses. Once the principal is gone, even the best skills can’t save you.

The market will come eventually. Taking it slow doesn’t matter much—just get the direction right and keep the rhythm, and in the end, the real profit opportunity will come.

Really, these words hit close to home... I'm the kind of person whose account curve always zigzags unpredictably. Listening passively makes it easy to say, but actually doing it is too difficult.

That's really impressive. I'm currently being repeatedly exploited by trading desires, and I just can't stop myself from acting impulsively.

Roughly speaking, but the principle is sound. It really isn't worth getting liquidated a few times to understand this truth...

Really, greed is the biggest killer, more ruthless than any technical analysis. I've seen too many people make money in one month only to lose it all the next month.
