#比特币对比代币化黄金 The day LUNA went to zero, I stared as my account balance dropped from 2.17 million to 43,000. My mind went completely blank.



My phone buzzed—my wife sent me a WeChat message: "Little Ke's early education center is urging for payment again. Should we pay this month?"

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I closed the bathroom door and sat next to the toilet, crying my heart out. It felt like someone was breaking my ribs one by one—so painful I couldn't speak.

Later, lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, I realized one thing: this wasn't investing at all—it was gambling with my life. And what I lost was my family's future.

After that, I got ruthless—I completely closed my leveraged accounts, spent three days and nights writing a set of trading rules, and pulled together a small group with a few other guys who had also been liquidated. We stopped dreaming of getting rich overnight. We just wanted to survive and slowly earn it back.

How to build a position? Split it into three parts. Throw in two parts to test the waters; if it's profitable, add more. If a single loss exceeds 1%, cut it immediately. Relying on this "dumb method," we survived the huge volatility of 2023—no one got liquidated.

Later, we figured out more tricks: you can't just watch one time frame. Only when both the 4-hour and daily charts show golden crosses, and trading volume is at least double the usual, is it worth going heavy. Last year, using this method, we caught three main upward trends.

There's an even tougher one: judging real vs. fake breakouts. Price hits a new high, volume doubles, and the support level holds for three consecutive days—only when all three are met is it a real breakout. Otherwise, they're all bull traps. I've seen too many people panic sell on a single red candle, then watch the price soar.

Three years later, our small group grew from 18 people to over a thousand, and for 28 consecutive months, no one got liquidated. Some guys paid off their mortgages early with steady returns; some ladies saved enough for their kids' overseas tuition.

Every time I think of that night crying in the bathroom, I feel grateful. There are no legends in crypto—only discipline. The real winners are those who let their families sleep soundly.

One person can't go far; only a group can go steadily. Having a reliable team is way better than fumbling alone. $BTC $ETH

Honestly, the part where he cried in the bathroom really hit me. This is the most authentic story in the crypto world. --- The word "discipline" sounds easy, but living it out is hell. --- 2.17 million down to 43,000... Bro, that night it probably wasn't just crying, it was a rebirth. --- 28 months without liquidation—now that's the kind of story the crypto world should be telling, not those fairy tales about making 100x a day. --- Catching a rally just by looking at the 4-hour and daily charts? Sounds simple, but you only realize how hard it is when you actually try. --- A group is stronger than an individual—this saying is a lifeline for the crypto world.

Damn, from 2.17 million to 43,000... That must hurt so much. Bro, this is truly a lesson learned the hard way.

From 2.17 million down to 43,000, I can truly understand that sense of despair... However, the subsequent self-rescue plan is actually quite solid. Discipline really is more important than prediction.

Honestly, this story really hit me. From 2.17 million down to 43,000, that must have felt so painful... But then this guy’s awakening was even more impressive—he turned things around through sheer discipline, and led over a thousand people steadily through the bear market. This is what the crypto world should be like. It’s not about dreams, it’s about survival.

Damn, from 2.17 million straight down to 43,000—that's got to be so devastating... But I have to say, that discipline framework afterward is really tough: splitting into three parts to test the waters, 1% stop-loss, triple confirmation for a real breakout... Isn't this basically turning gambling into a profession?
