#比特币对比代币化黄金 From Liquidation to Comeback: The Survival Rules I Learned During a 30% Bloodbath

The old me? Classic retail investor moves. Chased when it pumped, panicked and averaged down when it dumped. Until that time—when the market suddenly crashed 30%, my account went straight to zero. I stared at the screen in a daze for half an hour before my brain kicked in: I had to find a way to survive.

A lot of people play the compounding game, thinking it’s all about rolling up unrealized gains and going all in till the end. And then what? The market shakes a little, not even 5%, and your position gets wiped out. It took me a while to realize—the biggest enemy in compounding isn’t the candlesticks; it’s your own restless heart. As long as you still have your principal in hand, the game isn’t over.

After paying tuition a few times, I set three ironclad rules for myself:

1. Principal is your lifeline—don’t mess with it. Only use your profits to take risks.
2. Only add to positions on signals—wait for key levels to break before acting. Don’t blindly average down until you question your life choices.
3. Every time you add to a position, use at most half your profits. Want to go all in? Resist.

Remember—averaging down is the most expensive illusion for retail traders.

So I put this plan into action. Started with 10,000 USDT, dipped in with a small position, and rolled in profits as I made them. The principal? Let it sit quietly. All positions are built on profits; when the market plays along, the snowball gets bigger and bigger. Once my unrealized gains exceeded my principal, I immediately opened a hedge to lock in the main profits. Even if another 30% crash hits, my principal is solid, and my account value can still multiply several times.

In the end, I just wrote this whole process into an automated script and ran it on a server. On my phone, I only keep a view-only function—no order button, uninstalled it. The market fears nothing more than impulsive hands; only by controlling yourself can you survive long-term.

Stop drooling over other people’s 10x coins. First, learn how to survive the next 30% crash—stay alive, and the money will grow by itself.
