There are plenty of people in my Moments showing off their profit screenshots, but how many dare to talk about the days they got liquidated?

I’m going to lay it all out today. During the bear market that year, I threw in 600,000, and it vanished without even a splash.

Every night I stared at the ceiling counting until morning. My Moments had long been cleared out, my family thought I’d lost my mind, and the buddies I used to drink and brag with barely kept in touch. Just seeing the trading app icon made me anxious—my fingers shook when they touched the screen.

The turning point came suddenly—one day, scrolling on my phone, a sentence hit me: "Losing money is just the beginning. Stubbornly holding on is the end."
In that moment, it was like someone slapped me through the screen.

There was $3,500 left in my account. I stared at that number for a long time and finally decided—this was my last chance.

But this time was different. I stopped betting everything and hoping for luck. I started reviewing my trades, finding the reasons, admitting my mistakes, and resetting my mindset.

It was only after reviewing that I realized: I hadn’t been trading before—I was gambling with my life.
Stop-loss? Never set one. Position sizing? All-in. Copy-trading? Follow whoever was trending. Switching coins? This one today, another tomorrow. To put it bluntly, I was just messing around.

So that time, I did just one thing: take small, steady steps and strictly execute.
I split the $3,500 into two parts—half for defense, half for offense. Only touched trades I fully understood.
Took profits after 5 to 10 points per trade, never got greedy; always set stop-loss orders, admitted mistakes, no wishful thinking; if the market was unclear, I’d rather stay out and wait for opportunities.

First week, I rolled it up to $5,200.
Second week, broke $10,000.
By the sixth week, when my account showed over $50,000, I turned off the computer and sat in my chair staring blankly for half an hour.

Not because I made money, but because for the first time I believed—I really could climb back up.

I didn’t have any genius strategies, let alone insider tips.
I just used a method so "dumb" it worked: no reckless trades, no overloaded positions, kept my rhythm, only took trades with high certainty.

Look at why so many people are losing now—it all comes down to one word: chaos.
When your mind is chaotic, your actions are chaotic, and your positions are even worse.

You don’t need to be that smart. Stay steady, and even small capital can multiply.
As for how to pick entries, how to roll the trades, which markets to enter or avoid—you can’t cover all that in one article. But if you really want to see real trading rhythm and logic, see you in the comments.

Don’t tough it out alone. The crypto world is deep—those who survive are the ones who know how to stick together.
