#数字资产市场动态 After so many years in the circle, I increasingly believe a fact: those who last the longest are never the ones who make the fastest money.
In the early days, I chased hot topics, played leveraged contracts, listened to countless wealth stories, but in the end, I found that only a few truly survive long-term. Making quick money is too easy; the hard part is being able to withstand market fluctuations.
Having stepped on enough pits over the years, I have summarized nine survival rules in the crypto world:
**1. Only invest with spare funds**
Using living expenses or loans to trade cryptocurrencies? That’s not investing, that’s gambling. Market volatility itself is not scary; what’s scary is you can’t handle it internally.
**2. Focus only on solid targets**
I’ve tried shitcoins, aircoins, concept coins—all with one conclusion: the ones that can truly support a big trend are always $BTC, $ETH , and other coins with solid fundamentals.
**3. Don’t go all-in at once**
Now I split my positions into three parts: buy more on dips, hold on during rises. Diversifying positions naturally stabilizes your mindset.
**4. Don’t dream of getting rich overnight**
The most toxic phrase in crypto is "next wave of doubling." Staring at extreme gains all day makes you forget the process, and in the end, you suffer extreme losses.
**5. Follow the trend, don’t fight it**
Going against the trend with stubbornness only leads to one outcome—being educated by the market. When the trend is weak, don’t entangle; when it’s strong, don’t hesitate.
**6. Respect contracts**
I once used 100x leverage and got liquidated three times. Later I realized—leverage is not a tool to amplify profits; it’s a magnifying glass that enlarges human weaknesses. Those who can’t control greed will eventually be wiped out by leverage.
**7. Position management > all technical indicators**
When the market is unclear, I choose to stay out. Not losing money is the best way to make money—that’s the simplest truth.
**8. Have an informational advantage**
It’s not about checking gossip every day, but focusing on key trends: policy changes, capital flows, institutional moves. These are what matter.
**9. Mindset is the primary productivity**
No single trade can determine your life or death, but impulsiveness can ruin your entire account.
Over these ten-plus years, I’ve seen many newcomers go from passionate to disillusioned. It’s not because they lack talent or effort; it’s because they lack systems, discipline, and methods.
And the reason I can go from three consecutive liquidations to stable profits now is not some "secret," but mindset + rhythm + execution.
There is no eternal bull market in crypto, but there are always those who keep the light burning in the darkness.

You are absolutely right. I only understood these principles after experiencing a liquidation.
100x leverage is truly a poison; it clears your account in a second.
I no longer chase hot topics now; holding onto BTC is enough.
Playing with coins with spare money has also improved my sleep quality.
Mindset is really the hardest part.

Broke three times and still able to stand up, now that's a real tough person
---
Honestly speaking, 99% of people can't hold on to the second rule
---
How many people can't listen to the advice of entering with idle funds
---
The last sentence "Keep a light in the dark" is a bit emotional haha
---
Contracts are truly a mirror of human nature; leverage exposes greed without hiding
---
The hardest rule to follow among the nine is not chasing the trend, which really tests your willpower
---
From liquidation to stable profit, this is the real story, worth much more than any get-rich-quick case
---
Position management hits the mark; holding no position is also a choice
---
It looks simple, but how many can actually execute it without failure?

That really hits home, the part about 100x leverage exploding three times... it's a vivid example of sustainability breaking down. Greed is the biggest bug in token economics.

Article 6 is really heartbreaking. I didn't expect to see a 100x explosion three times. It's not easy for this guy to survive.
