#数字资产动态追踪 8 Years of Practical Experience in the Crypto World: From Losing 50,000 to Making 6 Million, Discipline Is the Strongest Weapon



Many people are curious why some can steadily grow in the crypto market, while most are always losing money. My account has grown to 6 million over 8 years; honestly, I don’t have superhuman intelligence—it's just that I treat losses as tuition, and every rule is earned through blood and sweat.

When I first entered the scene, I was no different from 99% of retail investors—whenever the market moved, I got itchy, taking profits and closing positions immediately; heavy positions would lead to liquidation. The harshest time, my 50,000 USD account was wiped out to just a few thousand, and that’s when I truly understood what "the market has a temper" means.

My current approach isn’t complicated at all; in fact, the simpler, the easier to execute. Many ask me about the secret to choosing coins or how to open positions, but the core points are these—and the difficulty isn’t in the method, but in whether you can stick to it long-term:

**Choose coins based on trend, don’t gamble on lying-flat coins.** Focus on the monthly MACD trend; only enter when there’s a golden cross. If there’s no golden cross, stay in cash and wait. Compared to chasing highs and selling lows, doing nothing is the strongest offense.

**Only rely on moving averages for entries and exits.** The 60-day to 70-day moving average is my reference point. The real signal to add positions is a pullback to the 70-day MA with increased volume. If it effectively breaks below, exit immediately. This rule has saved me countless times.

**Take profits in stages.** When gains reach 30%, cut half of the position; if it then rises 50%, continue reducing. Never try to catch the top—that’s not greed, that’s asking for death.

**Breaking below the 70-day MA = strict stop-loss.** This is the final and most rigid rule. No matter how much reasoning is done, it cannot be changed.

Why am I so verbose about this? Because most people get stuck on "I'll wait a bit longer." What they get isn’t a rebound, but a trap.

To sum up: The more complicated the rules in the crypto world, the easier it is to make mistakes. The simpler the rules, the easier they are to follow. Don’t dream of turning things around overnight. Those who truly survive and make money in the crypto market are always disciplined, patient, and willing to admit mistakes. Those who live till the end and profit are never the ones who reach out recklessly, but those who dare to reach out carefully and never act impulsively.

technically speaking, the 70-day moving average discipline thing is mathematically sound... but if you analyze the data across different market cycles, empirically proven stop-loss rules only work if your position sizing isn't sub-optimal to begin with. most people fail not because they don't follow rules, but because their base layer risk management is demonstrably inefficient.

Well said, but I still think execution is the biggest bottleneck; knowing and doing are worlds apart.

That's right, discipline is indeed the standard for tough people. I also endured it myself to get through.

To be honest, this is the first time I've heard such a confident statement about the 70-day moving average, but hearing your story about the 50,000 liquidation really touched my heart.

That's right, discipline is really the last lifeline. I was also a restless person back then, and only later did I realize that people who make money are incredibly rigid.

Really speaking, I also personally fell through the 70-day moving average hurdle, now I believe it.
