#美联储重启降息步伐 Thinking back to that afternoon three years ago, I stepped into the crypto market clutching 100,000 RMB. My friends all said I was crazy—wasn't I just throwing money onto a gambling table? Later, when I lost it down to 20,000, I almost believed them.

The turning point came the day I met Old Zhou. He stared at my trading records in silence for a long time, then finally said: "It's not that you're unlucky, you just have no rules at all."

Old Zhou handed me a set of methods. I stuck to them for three years, and my account grew from 100,000 to 1,000,000. Now, for those still shouting "crypto is just a casino," I want to throw these lessons in their faces.

**Position management—don’t make things hard for yourself.**

The dumbest thing I ever did was go all-in on some shitcoin, only to wake up and find my money gone. Then I wised up: hold 60% in BTC and ETH spot, use 30% for swing trading, and keep the remaining 10% in cash for opportunities. During last year’s 3/12 crash, it was that 10% cash that allowed me to bottom fish and triple my money. Always keep some ammo—you need it to survive.

**Set your stop-loss, and stick to it.**

I cut my losses at 10% per trade, 20% max. Once, I bought LTC and lost 15%, too reluctant to sell, and watched it drop 90%. Since then, I made it a strict rule: only add half your position at most, and holding onto losers is just digging your own grave.

**Stick with mainstream coins—avoid the flashy stuff.**

A friend of mine put 500,000 into a Ponzi coin, and the project team ran off, leaving him with nothing. I just steadily held BTC and ETH—sell a bit when the bull market’s up 30%, buy more when the bear drops 20%. Occasionally, I’ll try quality altcoins with a small position, but never get carried away.

**Follow the trend—never go against it.**

In a bull market, if BTC holds above the 200-day moving average, buy the dips; in a bear market, if it falls below, go to cash and wait. At the end of last year, when BTC broke down, I sold everything and avoided a 50% drop; this year, when it stabilized again, I jumped back in and caught the rebound.

Tenfold in three years wasn’t luck, it was discipline, strategy, and execution. This market was never a casino—it’s a battlefield. Winners follow the rules, losers chase feelings.

If you’re still numb from chasing pumps and panic selling, maybe stop and think: is it the market that’s wrong, or your method?

Remember this—making money in crypto is about discipline, not luck.
