I once chose the wrong path at the crossroads of family and career. It wasn't until a complete turning point seven years ago that I truly understood what it means to be reborn from the ashes.
At that time, I plunged into the crypto market, starting from confusion, losses, and self-doubt, and through setbacks, I now have over 30 million in my account. I currently own three properties—one for personal residence, one to honor my parents, and one for rental income—plus two cars. Looking back over these seven years, I didn't rely on insider information or luck, but on six "stupid" principles I summarized after being repeatedly proven wrong by the market.
**First: Rapid Rise, Slow Fall = Main Players Accumulating**
Gentle corrections after a sharp increase are often the easiest to overlook. This is actually when large funds quietly build positions, while retail investors are misled by superficial fluctuations. The key is to observe the rhythm—if you get the rhythm right, the subsequent market will reveal everything.
**Second: Sharp Drop, Weak Rebound = Main Players Distributing**
If the price crashes and can't recover, it's basically funds withdrawing. At this point, never hold onto the illusion of bottom-fishing; the highest chance of being caught in a trap.
**Third: Volume at High Levels Doesn't Necessarily Signal Top**
Many see high volume at the top and think the trend is over, but that's not always true. Sometimes, high volume at high levels indicates the market is still in the sprint phase. The real danger signals are shrinking volume at the top—that's when the trend is truly ending.
**Fourth: Volume at Bottoms Is Unreliable; Only Continuous Volume Indicates a Solid Bottom**
Fake bottoms are common in the market. A single surge in volume is often an illusion; only sustained volume over multiple instances shows market consensus is forming, and the bottom is solid.
**Fifth: Market Moves Are Driven by Sentiment, Not Charts**
No matter how complex the technical indicators, they ultimately point to one thing—emotion. And volume is the most direct reflection of market sentiment. Once you understand this, all moving averages and patterns are just clouds.
**Sixth: The Highest Realm Is "Nothing"**
No desire, no fear, no attachment. Those who can endure periods of inactivity in the market are the ones qualified to迎接真正的大行情. Most people fail because they can't wait, their mindset collapses first.
The biggest lesson I've learned in the market is: **The greatest opponent in trading is always yourself**. Good news, bad news, pump, dump—these are external factors. What truly determines your fate are your emotions, discipline, and mindset.
The crypto market is full of risks and opportunities; they often come together. To go further, the only way is to seek steady wins and rational planning. Those seemingly aggressive moves often only cause you to fall back to square one overnight.
I've paved this path with my years of experience—every scar on my body is a tuition fee. If you also want to survive longer and earn more steadily in this market, why not take a look together?

Without desire, fear, or attachment, it's easy to say, but in practice, it's truly despairing.

Relying on mindset to make money? Easier said than done. When it comes to actually investing money, your mindset collapses early.

To be honest, I believe in this logic, but that number of 30 million... is a bit hard to swallow haha
