#数字货币市场洞察 Account balance grew from 5,000 to over 100,000 in five months.



But before that, I blew up my account twice in just three days.

That feeling was like standing on the edge of a cliff, with the rocks crumbling beneath my feet. I was completely numb, doubting whether I was even suited for crypto at all. A friend who’s been in the game for years saw me like that and just said one thing: "What you should be thinking about isn’t how to make money, but how not to get killed."

That sentence made me stop and rethink everything for a long time.

Later, I changed my entire trading logic. I stopped thinking about hitting it big in one go, and treated every trade as a battle I might not survive.

**Divide money into three parts.**
Thirty percent as a core position to hold long-term, forty percent for swing trading and timing the market, and the remaining thirty percent only used when the signals are extremely clear. This way, even if I make a bad call, the account survives and my mindset stays steady.

**Take out half of the profits every time.**
Every time I make a profit, I lock in half and keep the rest in play. The principal keeps rolling, but my risk exposure actually gets smaller. This is the core reason I was able to grow a few thousand into six figures.

**Never hesitate when it’s time to exit.**
If the loss hits 2%, I close the position immediately. If the profit hits 3%, I take some off the table. If the trade goes my way, I add more; if not, I admit I’m wrong right away.

Doubling up is never about luck or gambling big—it’s about surviving every single time and then waiting for the next real opportunity. $BTC $ETH $BNB In the volatility of these assets, survival itself is your greatest edge.

Oh wow, "how not to die" is a brilliant phrase—saying that really shows a winner's mindset.

Once again, it's the same old discussion about survival, but this time it really sounds like they've been through hell.

Being alive itself is a form of competitiveness—this really hits home. I once read about a leveraged contract uncovered during an audit where an integer overflow caused thousands of liquidations. The logic is the same as what this guy said—if you don’t survive, nothing else matters. Risk management isn’t about being conservative; it’s the last line of defense for access control.

Just staying alive is already winning. It's a bit brutal, but it's real—much more reliable than those people bragging all day about doubling their money.

It took getting liquidated twice to realize that staying alive is way more important than making money. --- What this guy said about "how not to die" is truly eye-opening. I used to be the idiot who wanted to go all-in to turn things around. --- Splitting into three parts is indeed stable, but it's just so hard to actually stick to it. As soon as you make some money, you want to increase your position. --- Closing a position at just a 2% loss? That seems overly cautious, especially with such big swings nowadays. --- From 5k to 100k, the key is still surviving. I agree with that. --- "Staying alive itself is a competitive edge." I'm awake now—so many people die right before the dawn. --- I've tried the trick of cashing out half of the profits. It really does help keep your mindset stable so you don't lose everything in one move. --- Sounds easy, but how many people actually execute it? Most are still greedy. --- The logic of splitting your funds into three parts is pretty clear, but if there's a huge crash, all your positions could blow up. --- This is the real experience from people who've survived the crypto world for a long time.

"How not to die"—this line is brilliant, more effective than any motivational quote. But honestly, most people will still go all in after hearing it.
