On that night in December 2017, #特朗普撤销农业产品关税 stood at 20,000 US dollars.

I stared at the screen, my account's unrealized gains exceeded 2 million, and I felt like I was floating.

That feeling? It’s explosive. It's as if all the nights spent staying up and all the candlestick charts I've studied suddenly turned into real cash right in front of me. I even started calculating how many times I could multiply my wealth in the next bull market, as if the secret to wealth was already in my grasp.

But the market never leaves room for fantasies.

Just a month, the waterfall has arrived.

$BTC plunged straight down from a high point, and the principal along with the floating profit seemed to be pressed by an acceleration key, with red numbers flashing crazily on the screen. With every refresh, my heart sank a little more — you thought you had caught the wind, but in reality, you were just standing on the edge of a cliff.

In the early morning, the phone vibrated.

Liquidation SMS.

At that moment, I froze completely, my breath caught in my throat. This is not a movie; this is the real sensation of suffocation—floating back to zero, the principal cut in half, the mouse hovering there, unable to do anything.

Despair probably tastes like this.

Since then I have understood: the crypto market is not a betting game, nor is it a casino where you rely on luck to turn things around. No matter how beautiful the unrealized gains, they can't withstand the market turning against you; preserving your principal, controlling your position size, and setting stop-losses are the hard truths to survive.

The blood loss of that night became my most expensive tuition fee and also my most precious lesson—only after falling once did I learn how to stand firm in the storm.

Every time I watch the market now, I remind myself:

Winning is not about making money quickly; it's about living long enough to have the chance to turn things around.

Ask yourself, will you continue to be the one being harvested? Or will you persevere and become the one who laughs last?
