A newcomer added me and immediately asked: How do I make my first pot of gold? I’m tired of repeating myself, so today I’ll lay it all out once and for all: Your first lesson isn’t about striking gold—it’s about survival.

Eight years in crypto, I’ve “died” five times before I truly understood one thing: Learn how not to die first, then talk about making money.

Back in 2017 when I first plunged into crypto contracts, I was like I’d been injected with adrenaline—10x, 20x, 50x leverage, piling it on like crazy. Every time the K-line moved in my favor, I thought I was a god. The moment the market crashed, I was wiped out. The worst part isn’t the liquidation itself, it’s that sweet taste—the adrenaline rush that hijacks your brain when you win, and the urge to go all-in to recover losses the moment you lose.

Like that, I got carried out by the market five times in a row, left with nothing but the balance notifications on my bank card. I ended up delivering food on the night shift, scraping together $3,200. When I opened the trading app again, my hands were shaking.

I locked 90% of my funds in spot, leaving just 10% for testing the waters, telling myself if I gambled again, I’d cut my fingers off. I started keeping a daily loss diary—not recording how much I made, only focusing on how to lose one dollar less.

There are market moves every day, but there are way more traps than opportunities. I spent 90% of my time waiting, only 10% confirming signals. It’s not about blindly chasing pumps, but patiently waiting for the right moment. A year later, my account slowly grew from $3,200 to $20,000. Not an amazing return, but at last I could sleep soundly.

That sense of security from surviving is a thousand times better than the thrill of 100x leverage. Crypto isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon in a graveyard. I’ve seen too many one-day heroes whose avatars go dark within a month. The ones who survive treat leverage like poison and their principal like oxygen.

So stop asking how to make your first pot of gold. First, think about how to take your first breath safely.
In the next cycle, I won’t teach you to go all-in or use 100x leverage. I’ll only teach you how to bring your principal home. Remember: Learn how not to die first. Profits will come to you naturally.
