Truth from Those Who Came Before: Don't Dream of Getting Rich Quickly, Learn How to Survive First

If you’re new to the crypto market, you probably see every day in chat groups, Telegram, or Facebook, countless images showing profits: today x2, tomorrow x5, next week “all-in to change your life.” It’s hard not to feel impatient when you see that. But honestly, here’s a harsh truth: most of those stories only tell the middle part – no one shares the ending. This market isn’t short of people who’ve won big, but very few can keep their money after a few years. Crypto doesn’t kill the poor; it only “eliminates” those who are impatient and delusional. This article won’t make you rich quickly. But if you’re a beginner, it can help you avoid being eliminated early.

1. Losing Isn’t Scary – Not Learning Something New Is What’s the most common mistake of beginners? 👉 Relying on luck as a skill. Seeing prices rise sharply → rushing in to buy big Making a profit on one or two trades → thinking you understand the market Then just one big crash → account vaporized The right way for beginners: Start with a small amount A few hundred dollars or less Just to learn how to operate: buy/sell, place orders, transfer wallets, manage accounts Losing small money but understanding the rules of the game → much cheaper than “tuition” later Don’t believe in “invincible strategies” No indicator is 100% correct No trade is “sure thing” People claiming “never lose” often make money from… your transaction fees 👉 Long-term survivors in crypto have all paid tuition, just they know when to stop.
2. Slow Down – One Opportunity a Day Is Enough Crypto trades 24/7, but that doesn’t mean you have to trade 24/7. The reality is quite the opposite: Less trading → longer survival More trading → quicker death How to “slow down” without falling behind? Prioritize big coins Bitcoin, Ethereum are the backbone of the market Less manipulation, high liquidity Suitable for beginners to learn how to enter – exit orders For example: BTC adjusts 8–12% → invest 10% of your capital Stable trend → increase your position No need to catch the bottom, just don’t buy the top Say no to FOMO Others showing profits doesn’t mean you have to join The market always offers new opportunities The rarest thing isn’t a good trade, but having your capital intact 👉 Missing a wave doesn’t make you poor. 👉 Burning your account definitely makes you poor.
3. Don’t Just “Ride the Wave” – Broaden Your Ways to Make Money If you only know how to buy low and sell high, sooner or later the market will drain your spirit. Long-term survival often depends on multiple income streams. Safer approaches for beginners: HODL + DCA Buy BTC, ETH weekly/monthly No need to guess the top or bottom Suitable for those with stable income Stable income (Stable Yield) Deposit USDT into savings products on exchanges (3–10%/year) Lend on large platforms (selectively) Not getting rich fast, but helps you stay in the market Airdrops & learning DeFi Use time instead of money Early project interactions can earn big rewards Suitable for those with small capital but willing to learn ⚠Important note: Higher yields → higher risks Never go all-in on DeFi just because of “attractive APY” Start small, understand thoroughly before increasing Conclusion: Being Able to Survive Is a Win Crypto has a very bitter paradox: The more you want to get rich quickly → the sooner you lose The slower you go → the further you go So, if you’re a beginner: Don’t use money needed for your daily life Don’t borrow, don’t leverage Don’t trust anyone more than your own discipline Remember: The market isn’t short of opportunities But it only rewards those who still have capital to play Bull markets everyone looks smart. Bear markets reveal true character. If you can stay calm, go slow, learn steadily, and manage your funds well – you’ve already outperformed most players out there. 👉 Knowledge is the greatest asset. 👉 Surviving in the market is already a victory. Wishing you not to get rich quickly, but to get rich long-term.
