#美国就业数据不及预期 My sister had a big setback in the crypto world last year, losing 360,000 yuan.
During that time, she was completely disoriented, locked herself in her room, and didn’t go out for three days. When we met again, her account only had 3,600 USD left, but her eyes were surprisingly clearer.
I was deeply impressed by what she said: "Instead of waiting to die, I might as well try with this little capital." And guess what? She really turned things around with that 3,600 USD—growing from a few thousand to 100,000, not only filling the pit but also earning an extra 30,000.
Later, during casual conversations, she summarized that all these were "lessons learned with money."
The biggest change was in trading discipline:
Single position size should not exceed a quarter of total funds; if floating loss reaches 10%, cut immediately without hesitation; abandon the idea of predicting tops and bottoms, follow the trend; take profits and withdraw the main part, leaving a small portion to continue rolling.
She often says: "Taking it slow is always better than going to zero overnight. As long as the principal is there, opportunities will come."
Actually, she doesn’t have any special talent, she just learned to fight her own greed. Later, she also helped friends, turning 2000 USD into nearly 10,000, and repeatedly advised others to cut losses in time.
Over these two years, I’ve gradually realized that cryptocurrencies like $ETH and $BTC are never short of market movements. What’s truly scarce is self-control—those who survive the longest in the market are often not the ones earning the most, but those who know how to protect their principal.
Many people are not lacking effort; they just need a set of principles forged through personal experience. In the crypto world, there are no absolute dead ends; what can truly save you is a trading philosophy earned through blood and sweat.

Sister, this trading philosophy is amazing, much more reliable than those big V accounts shouting signals every day.
---
Honestly, stop-loss is the hardest lesson to learn. I’ve died there before.
---
Losing 360,000 down to 3,600, yet my eyes are clearer? I need to learn this mindset.
---
Preserving principal > earning more. That hits hard.
---
Gradually rolling over is more reliable than going all-in in one shot, but it’s just too hard to stick with.
---
The key is execution. Knowing and doing are worlds apart.
---
Without talent, relying solely on discipline can turn things around. That’s more encouraging than any signal service.
---
That’s why so few people in the crypto world have made it this far.
---
Turning 2000U into 10,000U—that’s what a real trader does.
---
Self-control is most likely to break down in a bull market. Her discipline in this regard is truly admirable.

Your sister's move this time was brilliant—being able to recover a 360k loss shows she really learned something. But I think the key is still that phrase "as long as the principal survives, opportunities remain"—that's the most sobering advice.
The difference between wiping out overnight and steady grinding literally comes down to self-discipline. I know a few people around me who made serious money but lost it all back—they just couldn't stick to the discipline of protecting their principal. Your sister's position management + stop-loss logic is definitely paid for in blood and tears.
But honestly, most people will still go all-in after hearing this story—they just can't help themselves. Market opportunities are always there, but not many people actually survive to catch the next cycle.
Your sister's mindset is incredible. Losing 360,000 down to 3,600 and still able to smile—how ruthless is that?
As long as the principal is preserved, it's a win. I just can't stand those all-in moves.
Turning 3,600 into 100,000? Not joking, some people can do it, but most still end up losing again.
That thing about cutting a quarter of your position or floating losses—sounds simple, but it's really deadly to do.
Stop-loss is always harder than turning things around, especially when you're losing.
