#美联储重启降息步伐 Ten Years Battling in the Crypto Market, From Liquidation to Rebirth: These Hard-Earned Lessons You Need to Hear
The pitfalls I've stepped into over the years, summarized into eight survival rules. Don't just treat them as stories—put your real money into practice to find out if they're right.
**Entering the Market: Precision Beats Random Shooting**
Your capital size determines your strategy. For anything under 100,000, go all-in on one asset. With 200,000-300,000, focus on just two. At 500,000, at most allocate to four. More than five positions? You're just an ATM for the market. In a bull market, concentrate your firepower; in a bear market, if you can't handle it, get out fast—don't worry about the fees.
One misconception to clear up: Opportunities aren't hanging around 24/7 waiting for you. Most of the time, the market is just dragging on. The real money-making windows are pitifully rare. When the hype is up, that's your hunting season; the rest of the time, just sit tight and rest.
**Holding Positions: Following the Right Trend Is Everything**
Technical indicators and news aren't for you to play fortune-teller—they just improve your odds. Rebounds during downtrends? Eight out of ten times they're bull traps. Pullbacks during uptrends? Most are just shaking out weak hands. Stop trying to time the exact top and bottom—you can't read the whales' minds. Just follow the direction of the trend.
When you think about adding to your position, ask yourself: "If I were in cash right now, would I still buy?" Only act if the answer is yes—if you're hesitant, stay away. Adding to a winner is the cherry on top, not patching up a sinking ship.
**Exit Discipline: Cutting Losses Fast Makes You a Pro**
Take the loss when you need to. Once your stop-loss is set, don't waver—wishful thinking will only make your losses snowball. When you're up, don't get greedy—move your take-profit up in time and lock in your gains. The market won't go easy on you just because you can't let go.
Be ruthless when buying, even more ruthless when selling. If you hesitate when opportunity knocks, it's gone. If you drag your feet when risk shows up, you're asking for trouble. This split-second difference is what separates the newbies from the pros.
**Don’t Fall Into These Two Traps**
People who stare at the 15-minute K-line all day trading short-term always end up working for the exchange. The real big money is always made by stubbornly riding the trend with patience.
And about catching the bottom—this is the most expensive game in this market. "It's dropped so much, it has to go up now, right?" Those who buy in with this mindset are six feet under by now. Only 20% of people make money in this market, and their secret is simple: never try to catch the bottom.

It sounds nice, but in reality, only that 20% can survive; the rest are just supporting players.

No matter how nicely it's said, it’s useless—people won’t believe it until they fall into the trap themselves. Money lost through painful lessons is the most expensive.

All the tough talk is right, but when it comes to execution, I always go soft. I just can't make that stop-loss cut.

Yeah, you're right, but I still have to lose seriously a few times before I believe in this... The Fed rate cuts are here, is it time to start yield farming again?

Alright, alright, it’s the same old talk again—I’ve heard it too many times... The ones who actually make money are those who just buy and hold without saying a word.

It's the same old rhetoric, I've heard it ten times already. Has anyone actually made money by following it?

Another textbook-level story of blood, sweat, and tears—I feel like I’m looking in a mirror.
If only I had heard these words ten years ago, I wouldn’t have paid my tuition to the exchanges for so many years.
Seriously, position management is where it’s easiest to crash and burn. Friends who went all-in on five coins are now living in regret.
As for bottom fishing, my painful lessons are enough to fill a book. Now I’m just sticking to mainstream coins.
