#数字资产市场动态 360,000 in a popular coin goes to zero: the shattered screen breaks into 4,000 pieces

In the next three days, she locked herself in the study, only the sound of flipping pages. I had secretly decided that once she came out, I would delete all her trading apps.

In early spring, she invited me to meet at a tea house. I was about to comfort her when she placed her phone on the table—the screen displayed six-figure assets, not only covering the 360,000 loss but also earning an extra 30,000.

As a long-term participant in the crypto market, I know her comeback is entirely due to three strict trading rules earned through blood and tears:

**Rule 1: Never fully invest, leave room to retreat**

She used to always go all-in, losing 360,000 because she chased hot coins with full positions, and a 40% drop in three days wiped her out. Now she has set a strict rule: no single trade exceeding 25% of her total capital. She said, "Slow is better than being out completely."

**Rule 2: Cut losses decisively, 10% is the bottom line**

She has a sticky note on her computer: "If floating loss reaches 10%, cut immediately." I asked, "What if it bounces back?" She pointed to the withered green pothos on the balcony: "If you don't prune the rotten roots, the whole pot will die. Stop-loss is insurance for your principal; there’s no such thing as 'later.'"

**Rule 3: Take profits immediately, refuse paper wealth**

Every time she makes a profit, she only leaves 15% to continue rolling over, and the rest is transferred out to stable assets immediately. She said, "Last time I lost 360,000 because I made 50,000 and still wanted to make 100,000—greed backfired. The numbers on the K-line are virtual; only the money taken out is real gold and silver."

Over these years in the crypto market, I’ve seen too many gamblers: full positions, no stop-loss, greed expanding. From the NFT craze to Meme coins, there are always people losing everything. But my sister’s comeback proves a simple truth—there is never a dead end in the market, only people who don’t follow the rules.

$BTC, $ETH no matter how volatile, position management, risk awareness, and mental control—these are never outdated. The lessons from that 360,000 loss, the shattered phone screen, and the hotpot that she didn’t get to eat are not in vain. A true trader is someone who learns to crawl out of pits again and again.
