Ten years of struggling in the crypto world have gradually taught me one truth—this place is not a quick-rich casino, but an insanely expensive school.

The most painful lesson happened last year. At that time, I was full of confidence, holding an account with 1 million yuan, and I went all in without hesitation. The result? The account was wiped out, and my mindset collapsed along with it. smashing my phone, uninstalling apps, hiding in my room—those feelings were like a trapped beast, overwhelmed by despair. A decade of accumulation turned into a joke in an instant.

What truly saved me was the remaining 3400U in my account.

This leftover capital forced me to make a choice: either sheepishly leave this circle or use this small capital to implement a completely new survival strategy. I chose the latter.

From that 1 million loss, I condensed it into three unbreakable iron rules—my entire arsenal for turning things around:

**Rule One: Never fully commit your position; respect the market’s unpredictability.**

I set a rule for myself—no single trade should exceed 40% of the account, and the remaining 60% must be locked up, untouched, as "life-saving money." At the same time, I set a hard stop-loss at 15%, ready to trigger at any moment, with no room for bargaining. After experiencing a zero balance once, I truly understood: staying alive is the prerequisite for everything; only alive can I have a chance to reverse the situation.

**Rule Two: Follow the trend, give up betting on turning points.**

In the past, I always thought "buy low, sell high," constantly trying to catch the bottom and top. But what happened? I was slapped awake by the market time and again. Now, I’ve completely kicked that habit. The trend is my only guide—when the market is rising, look for long opportunities; when it’s falling, go short. It sounds ridiculously simple, but this simplicity has given me unprecedented peace of mind.

**Rule Three: Profit must be layered; the money earned must be secured.**

Every time my account turns positive, I only take out 30% of the profit to roll over and increase gains, while the remaining 70% is withdrawn and stored in the "safe box." The benefit of this approach is—no matter how the market moves later, the profits I’ve locked in can never be lost, and the snowball won’t be wiped out by a single unexpected event.

With this disciplined, almost mechanical execution, I and a few like-minded people restarted from 3400U.

We moved forward cautiously like engineers, gradually growing the account from a few thousand to tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands… Not only did we fill that huge hole, but our assets also hit new highs.

Looking back over these ten years, the most valuable thing I’ve gained isn’t some coin’s explosive rise, but the system of "survive + counterattack" rebuilt after a complete collapse.

Market laws are unpredictable, but human fears and greed are forever unchanged.

What truly protects you isn’t some precise prediction ability, but the discipline ingrained in your bones and the endless backup power you always leave for yourself.

In the past, I groped in the dark; now I hold a light in my hand. The light won’t go out—are you willing to follow?
