I didn't come out on top by smooth sailing. Honestly, it was from the moment I owed 1 million yuan that I truly learned one thing: how to "stop losing money."
During that period, I knew from the first second I opened my eyes—this 1 million couldn't run away; I could only pay it myself.
But in reality, I did the exact opposite: desperately trying to turn things around, desperately looking for solutions, desperately staring at the charts for that one life-saving K-line.
What was the result? Heavy positions, pushing the trend, listening to rumors, following emotions.
When there was no market movement, I doubted myself; when the trend reversed, my mindset shattered.
That wasn't trading at all; it was treating my account as a psychological therapy tool.
What truly pulled me out wasn't how much I earned on a single trade, but the day I finally understood—relying on luck to turn things around was never meant for me.
Since then, my trading approach has changed 180 degrees.
No longer hunting for "potential explosive opportunities," only trading those with "clear logic and the ability to withstand pullbacks."
Unclear trends? Absolutely no trading.
Positions too heavy to sleep? Cut them immediately.
Every time I want to enter a trade, I ask myself: what's the worst that can happen? Can I handle the loss?
If yes, I go in; if not, I pass on even the most tempting opportunities.
Initially, it was indeed slow. Slow enough to ask myself: with such stability, when will I turn things around?
But the change is visible: the account is stable, the mindset is calm, and I no longer follow the K-line like a puppet.
When the market truly presents an opportunity, I dare to go all-in because I know in my heart—I'm always ready to retreat completely.
Profit is segmented; I don't aim to eat it all at once.
Positions are layered; I don't push to the limit in one go.
Compound interest never depends on courage but on your ability to survive long enough.
Looking at now, debts are cleared, assets exceed 10 million.
It's not that the crypto world has become gentler, but that I’ve learned the most crucial point—don't kill yourself in the process.
I've validated this methodology, and the roadmap is clearly laid out.
In the end, the decision is in your hands:
Keep gambling on luck, or change your mindset to steadily and safely make profits.

Damn, how did I not think of this theory?
Honestly, the part about owing 1 million... I've experienced something similar, that feeling of going all-in on a whim.
The key is that phrase "live long enough" really hit me. I used to always think about making a big comeback, but now I realize that's a reckless strategy.
I need to seriously reflect on my position management.

Sounds good, but how long has it been since we last heard the promise of "steady and guaranteed profits"?

That's so true, living a long life is the real key
This guy is talking about the essence of risk management. Not being greedy can really save your life
From 1 million in debt to tens of millions in assets, the key is changing your mindset. I understand that

Damn, this is the real truth. You really can't make money with a gambler's mentality.
Even the fastest candlestick chart can't compare to living longer.
It sounds simple, but it's really hard to do. I'm still spinning around that lifeline.

Damn, this is the real talk. Living long without greed, that's a perfect statement.

That part about owing 1 million in debt, I immediately knew you were experienced. Only someone in the crypto world would understand that explosive feeling.
---
This sentence really hit me—compound interest depends on living long, not on having a big胆量.
---
It sounds nice, but the key is having that kind of resolve. Most people simply can't do it.
---
Stably making money sounds boring to death, but it's definitely better than getting wiped out haha.
---
This phrase, "Don't kill yourself," should be imprinted in every crypto person's mind.
---
The slow start in the beginning is very real; few can endure it.
---
Talking about methods when assets have exceeded ten million is a bit interesting.

To be honest, I've heard this story too many times.
But the fact that I survived really hit me; so many people just died on that one deal.

Why not talk more about how to survive the 1 million pit?
