#数字资产市场动态 When it comes to trading, my biggest lesson is—don't rely too much on luck, and especially don't idolize anyone, myself included.
To be honest, I’ve had a few lucky guesses recently, but that doesn’t mean much. Trading is inherently a game of half right and half wrong. Since mistakes are unavoidable, the only way out is one: thoroughly think through the question of "what if I lose everything" in advance.
Many people overcomplicate risk management; it’s really just four words—control losses. Not to win every trade (that’s unrealistic), but to avoid firing all your bullets at once when you make a wrong judgment. $ETH Whether it’s mainstream coins or other assets, opportunities are there every day. But you have to stay alive to see the next big wave.
As long as your principal is intact, your mindset remains. When the real opportunity—like those multi-fold, dozens of times gains in the crypto market—comes, you’ll have the strength to grasp it fully. Conversely, if you lose everything early on, even the best market opportunities in front of you will only be watched from the sidelines, which is the real regret. So instead of chasing every win, it’s better to learn how to survive longer.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but many people just won't listen. They have to shoot all their bullets before they understand the meaning of survival, and by then, it's already too late.

This is the real truth, unlike some people who boast every day about how much they made... surviving to see the next wave is the real key.

That's so true. I am part of the group that lost the principal, and now I can only watch the market with nothing I can do.

That's right, being alive is the hard truth. I've seen too many people give up quickly, and the result is always stepping back.

actually, let me break this down—the core principle here is basic portfolio theory applied to crypto, right? it's literally just the kelly criterion meets risk-adjusted returns. when he says "control losses," that's just ceteris paribus risk management 101, except most people treat it like some mystical concept lmao

Well said, being alive is the hard truth. I've seen too many go all in and then wake up to find themselves back to square one overnight, which is truly tragic.
