In the crypto world, everyone dreams of multiplying their investments tenfold or even hundredfold within three years.

But in reality? Most people can't withstand a full market cycle. When greedy, they chase highs; when scared, they cut losses. In the end, they get swept up by the market's ups and downs, and their accounts remain the same.

So, what does it really take to achieve "a steady 10x in three years"?

First, a systematic understanding — not trading based on feelings, but understanding the market cycle patterns and knowing what to do at each stage. Second, scientific position management — controlling the risk exposure of each trade to avoid being liquidated due to a single mistake. Lastly, reverence for the cycle — understanding that the market has its own rhythm; you can't rush it or catch up.

By mastering these three points, a tenfold increase in three years is no longer a dream but a achievable goal.

It sounds good, but how many can really survive a full cycle? It sounds right, but it's just too difficult. I've really repeatedly fallen into pitfalls when it comes to position management. Ten times in three years, I think it still depends on the choice of coins. The fundamental reason for not being able to withstand a cycle is attitude, nothing else.

ngl, the whole "position management" thing hits different when you're hemorrhaging 50 gwei on a failed tx... like yeah, discipline matters, but so does not panic-selling during network congestion lmao

That's right. These three points are well known; how many people can truly implement them? I've played enough with the strategy of chasing highs and cutting losses. Now, I just hold stubbornly without selling. I need to improve my systematic understanding; I feel like I'm still trading randomly based on intuition. Position management is the most critical. One margin call and you're back to square one. This lesson is deeply ingrained. Honestly, the cycle is just a form of mysticism. Who can really grasp it? A tenfold increase in three years is indeed tempting, but I'm afraid it's just a beautiful illusion after all.

That's quite right, but I think most people give up at the first step. Systematic understanding sounds easy, but very few can truly stick with it. I'm the kind of person who only understands after being harvested. Now I'm more stable, but my account has already been severely damaged. The key is to endure; most people can't hold on until the day of harvest.

It sounds good, but how many can really stick with it? --- I'm tired of hearing it, just want to know who actually made money --- I really didn't manage my positions well, and I got cut again --- Systematic understanding? I just go by feel, and now I'm losing everything --- Ten times in three years sounds easy, but the hardest part is the mindset --- The key is to endure the bear market; most people fall behind here --- Every time they swear they won't chase highs, but when the market rises again, they can't control themselves --- If your understanding is in place, you can indeed avoid liquidation, that's true --- Everyone's right, but execution is a completely different matter --- I really can't figure out the market rhythm, when to enter and when to exit

That's right, but I think 99% of people simply can't do these three things, including myself haha. Only the tough ones can endure a full cycle.
