A full-time mom started with a principal of 1,800U and in less than two months grew her account to 52,000.
At first, she was extremely cautious, only daring to use 10% of her position each time. When asked why she was so conservative, she said she couldn't afford to lose—her family's expenses all depended on this money.
In the first three days, she made a 36% profit, and her confidence began to build. Every night after her child fell asleep, she would study the charts, with exceptional discipline. When she steadily grew from 1,800 to 8,000U, her pace remained solid.
The turning point came quite suddenly.
Around the 28th day, she started thinking about whether to lead others in trading. This thought itself was dangerous—making a bit of money made her think she understood everything.
Sure enough, on the 34th day, she went all-in on an altcoin and lost 43% in a single trade. Afterwards, she said she just wanted to test her own judgment.
A textbook example of a mindset imbalance.
Later, the person who brought her in directly deleted her contact info. Not because of that loss, but because she lost the most crucial thing:
Surviving in the crypto world relies on discipline, not on getting lucky once.

To be honest, these guys were really steady at first, but as soon as they made a bit of profit, they got cocky... And they still want to lead others like this? That’s how it is in the crypto world—once you lose discipline, it’s all over.

Honestly, as soon as I make some money, I start getting cocky. Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to maintain.

That hits hard—this is the curse of the crypto world... Make a bit of money and get cocky, only to end up losing it all because of overconfidence.

This story really hit home—making money is easy, but keeping it is hard... That 43% loss might be the cheapest tuition fee.

This story really hits home—making money is easy, but keeping it is hard. If only the mother could have maintained her mindset from before day 28, but unfortunately, a person's greatest enemy is often themselves.

There are plenty of people who can make 50,000, but very few who can keep it.
