#数字资产市场动态 Those who want to survive long enough in the crypto world and truly make it their livelihood must go through hardships, endure, and never give up.

Having been in this circle for eight years, I’ve seen too many stories unfold. Some see their wealth double in two months, while others go bankrupt and drop out in a year. What’s the difference? It’s not intelligence, nor initial capital; ultimately—who can embed trading discipline into their soul.

In my first year in the industry, I rented a handshake building in Shenzhen with Lao Li, delivering takeout during the day and staring at K-line charts motionless at night. He had a conviction: "I want to support my family with this." I both mocked his naivety and secretly admired his determination. Neither of us had much in our accounts, but he recorded price movements daily in a notebook. Even when the market tanked to the point of questioning life, he kept studying the relationship between price and volume.

ETH once fell for nine consecutive days, yet he increased his position, and a week later, he caught a 40% swing.

That night, we drank two bottles of beer on the rooftop, and the wind felt like freedom itself. Later, I realized that there are no real "secrets" in the crypto world—only patterns—and most people simply can’t stick to them.

The method Lao Li uses I still follow today: buy when strong coins dip too much, reduce positions when they surge too fast; volume at low levels signals entry, volume at high levels means exit immediately; don’t act without a clear pattern, only shoot when there’s a signal. It may seem rigid, but this is the methodology for surviving long.

Over the years, I’ve grown my initial few thousand dollars to eight figures, not because I can predict, but because I repeatedly follow the rules—no greed, no gambling, no panic.

Everyone, stop believing those stories of overnight riches. The real winners in the crypto world are those who have endured. If you want to live off it, first learn not to die.

I used to stumble around in the dark alone, but now I hold a light in my hand, and the light keeps shining.

What about you? Are you in or out?

Old Li's discipline is indeed strict, but to be honest, most people can't stick to it for more than two weeks before breaking.

Selling coins just thinking about getting off the bus, buying coins just thinking about getting rich overnight, this mindset will eventually explode. Old Li's approach is indeed brilliant—buy low and sell high, it's that simple and straightforward, yet it has lasted the longest. Honestly, after hearing so many stories, the most heartbreaking thing isn't losing money, but knowing the rules and still can't control that mouth of yours. Eight years to reach eight figures sounds great, but the real bottleneck is—most people can't survive the first bear market. This discipline may seem rigid, but it's this rigidity that discourages 99% of gamblers. I didn't expect that the script of handshakes, apartment deliveries, and watching K-lines would actually become the standard in the crypto world.

Old Li's approach is really top-notch. I'm still pondering how he managed to keep pushing into the market during nine consecutive declines... Honestly, it's discipline. This thing really can't get into most people's heads.

discipline beats luck every single time, ngl. seen too many retail traders blowing up chasing volume spikes instead of respecting actual protocol mechanics. the real edge isn't prediction, it's just... not being stupid with capital allocation and position sizing. kind of boring tbh but that's literally how you don't get liquidated.

You're not wrong; discipline is really the key to success. I've seen too many people fail because of "I'll wait a bit longer" and "I'll try one more time."

Old Li's strategy is really top-notch: buy in high volume at low positions, and sell in high volume at high positions. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is just too hard to stick with.

To be honest, Lao Li is really strict when it comes to discipline. But what I admire most is that he can deliver takeout during the day and monitor K-lines at night in the handshake building. This mental resilience is not something an ordinary person can handle.
