The game in the crypto world ultimately boils down to one word—狠 (ruthless).
Winning allows celebration; losing means returning to real life. This isn't a rule; it's the fundamental logic of the market.
Among all strategies, the most extreme and testing of human nature is probably high-leverage position rolling. No storytelling, no patience—just see if you can hit the right direction and rhythm. If the direction is correct, funds double quickly; one wrong move and you’re out entirely. There’s no gray area—only win or lose.
I’ve seen people grow their capital from $5,000 to six figures, and I’ve seen even more people exit after their last heavy position. The key isn’t the method itself but the person using it.
The essence of position rolling is actually using discipline to fight greed.
I once had only enough for a few meals left, but I managed to quickly grow that small capital using this method. The logic sounds simple—high leverage, aligned with the trend, keep investing as long as you’re making money. It’s simple in theory, but execution is a step-by-step test.
The biggest challenge is controlling yourself. Can you take profits as planned? Can you cut losses immediately? When the market is volatile, can you resist doing anything?
Most people stumble on three issues: wanting to win more after a win, rushing to recover losses after a loss, and insisting on participating when the market is unclear. The most terrifying part of position rolling is never misjudging the direction but letting emotions completely take over the operation.
Later, I set three bottom lines for myself.
Two consecutive mistakes mean stopping for the day—that’s respect for your own state. When profits reach the target, withdraw some immediately—don’t think about riding the trend further. If there’s no clear one-sided structure, prefer to stay out and wait, rather than trade just for the sake of trading.
Position rolling isn’t something you need to do every day; it’s about seizing the right opportunities and acting decisively. When someone asks me whether they should roll, I ask three questions: Is the volatility enough? Is the direction simple enough? Can you only take the middle part of the trend and give up the ends?
If any of these aren’t achievable, don’t touch this strategy.
This path is indeed brutal—either change your situation quickly or exit swiftly. Before choosing, ask yourself if you can handle the worst-case scenario. Going all-in alone can easily lead to losing your way; having someone by your side keeps you steady. If you’re truly determined to change your situation, it’s better to act early, find like-minded people, and study the layout together. The market will never wait, but you can choose to enter with clarity.

That's right, emotions are really the biggest killer. I'm the kind who makes money but is greedy, and in the end, I lost everything in the last trade.

Being ruthless is ruthless, but few can truly survive. The hardest part is managing emotions.

Basically, it's a test of human nature—those who make money want to keep earning, and those who lose become even greedier. I've seen too many people die in the final round.

That's right, but most people die at the step of greed, and very few can truly stick to discipline.

Basically, it's a battle between gambling instincts and self-control; most people can't even get past the first level.
