Looking back on that period, I started with $600 and eventually reached an asset scale of $170,000. Along the way, what I relied on was not so-called luck or trading signals from any group, but three simple yet extremely difficult principles: persistence, enduring market fluctuations, and sticking to established positions.



As a newcomer to the crypto world, I was once attracted by the short-term high returns of others. Seeing people make thousands of dollars in a day using high leverage, I naively thought I could easily replicate that. Reality soon hit me hard—a three-day losing streak caused my account to drop from $600 to just $97. The feeling of despair at that moment is unforgettable: my eyes were red and swollen from staying up late watching the market, my hands trembled from anxiety, and my mind was blank. It was this painful experience that made me realize: in the field of digital currency, the key to success is not who is smarter, but who can survive longer.

Starting over with the remaining 97 dollars, I completely adjusted my investment mindset. I no longer fantasized about getting rich overnight but focused on how to keep my account alive. I adopted a more rational strategy: whenever my profits reached 20%, I would close half of my positions, which locked in profits and preserved my principal. Abandoning greed and impulse, I began to patiently wait for market opportunities. During that time, my daily schedule revolved entirely around the market: I closely monitored the market starting at 2 AM, took profit at 5 AM, and reviewed the day's trades at 8 AM. My friends thought I was too crazy, while I believed they were too conservative. Because in this market environment, investors who cannot remain calm have long been ruthlessly eliminated.

When my account grew to $18,000, many people had exited the market due to losses, while I chose to think differently: the more funds I had, the more I needed to control my position size. I always kept my position size at 30% of my total assets, with the remaining 70% as risk buffer funds. The reason for this is simple: market opportunities always exist, but the prerequisite for seizing these opportunities is that your account must remain alive.

There was a trade that impressed me deeply—at that time, the market sentiment was extremely pessimistic, and panic was pervasive, but I still insisted on holding my position and strictly adhered to my stop-loss point, with no operations for ten days. Then the market suddenly reversed, and this trade tripled the value of my account! At that moment, I deeply understood that those who can achieve significant returns in the market are not the frequent traders, but the investors who can steadfastly hold their positions and wait for the right opportunity.

Many people often wonder how I achieved a growth from $600 to $170,000. My answer is always the same: "The core is not leverage, not luck, but the right mindset. True market experts do not profit every day; they remain calm during losses and are not swayed by greed during profits."

There are no myths in the cryptocurrency market, only methods and perseverance. If you are experiencing losses, self-doubt, or hesitation due to market fluctuations, consider paying attention to my sharing. Let's learn together how to survive and grow in this challenging market in the long term!
