The story in the crypto world always goes like this—showing profits, sharing screenshots, bragging about achievements. But no one wants to hear about those dark, sunless moments.

I decided to share my experience to give those still fumbling in the darkness a reference.

That bear market year, I lost over 800,000 yuan.

Insomnia became the norm, my mind buzzing all day. There was nothing good to share on social media, not even the energy to be criticized. People around me started to deliberately avoid me, and my family’s meetings were filled with silent accusations. The worst moment was when I didn’t dare open the trading app, afraid to see the string of desperate numbers in my account. My heartbeat was so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

Until one night, I came across a sentence: "Rather than stubbornly clinging to death, it’s better to let go proactively."

In that instant, it felt like I was pulled out of the mud.

I reopened my computer and looked at the remaining 2,600 yuan in my account. I told myself, this is the last chance.

Not a gamble, not relying on luck. I started doing something I had never done before—carefully reviewing every trade, summarizing each mistake, cutting off pride and illusions, like performing a soul surgery on myself.

That’s when I truly understood that my previous losses weren’t about luck at all, but because I simply didn’t know how to trade:

No stop-loss awareness, heavy positions all in, following others’ moves blindly, changing coins every day, no position management… Honestly, that wasn’t trading, that was gambling.

After awakening, I only did one thing: steadily accumulate step by step, strictly follow discipline.

Split the 2,600 yuan into two parts: a defensive order and an offensive order.

Only operate on market trends I can understand.

Take profit when earning 5%-10%, and stop—don’t let greed turn your legs;

Stop-loss must be set, cut immediately if wrong, don’t hope for a rebound;

When the market is unclear, simply stay out and stay calm.

In the first week, my account grew from 2,600 to 6,700.

In the midnight of the second week, the account broke through 10,000 yuan.

By the sixth week, when I saw the balance on the screen exceed 50,000, I was stunned.

That night, I turned off the computer, sat for half an hour, with my mind completely blank. Not excited about how much I had made, but for the first time truly believing—I might turn things around.

I didn’t use any divine operations, nor did I get any insider information.

It was all thanks to a seemingly "stupid" method: no reckless rushing, no heavy positions, maintaining rhythm, only trading with confidence.

Looking at those who are losing money now, the core problem is often one word: "chaos."

Chaotic thinking, chaotic emotions, even more chaotic operations.

Actually, you don’t need to be particularly smart; as long as you can keep a steady mindset, small funds can still turn into big ones.
