In the crypto world, making money and losing money are equally effortless. The real situation is that most people get caught up in expectations—always hoping to get rich overnight. But what happens? They often end up losing even faster.

I've seen too many people get stuck here. Later, I realized that surviving is the top priority. Don't chase after astonishing returns; as long as you can achieve stable profits day after day, you've already surpassed the vast majority.

How to do it? My experience boils down to two words: position size and mindset. It sounds simple, but few people can truly implement it.

Lower your position size, and everything changes. You'll be surprised to find your mindset instantly stabilizes, you can sleep peacefully at night, and holding positions overnight is no longer a nightmare. Naturally, your returns will stabilize as well. If you don't believe it, try Ant Wallet; earning a few hundred dollars a day may not seem like much, but it's much easier than working a job. When the market is favorable, you can even make over a thousand in a day.

In the long run, what can these stable small gains accumulate into? Just give it a try and see.

That's right, greed kills. A bunch of people around me went all-in and ended up with zero, and they're still licking their wounds. Having a small position helps keep a stable mindset. This is truly the simplest principle, but also the hardest to follow. A few hundred yuan a day may sound meaningless, but it really allows you to sleep peacefully. This is the essence of making money.

That's right, mindset really is the key. I've seen so many people shouting about tenfold returns, only to lose everything in two weeks. I agree with the idea of small, stable investments, but honestly, it still comes down to self-discipline, which most people simply can't maintain. The dream of getting rich overnight is just too tempting. Lowering expectations can indeed help you sleep better, but the prerequisite is truly being able to stick to it without leveraging. I think, no matter how many people talk about this truth, only that small minority who have been beaten up really understand it.

That's right, the mindset part is really the hardest; knowing and doing are worlds apart. I've seen too many people go all-in at every opportunity, and the ending is always the same. Reducing position size sounds easy, but few can really hold back... Consistent profit is indeed more reliable than sudden wealth, even if it doesn't sound as exciting. I've heard this theory too many times; the key is who can really stick to it. Position management, in simple terms, is about living longer; it's a cliché but effective.

You're right, I used to be that kind of fool who thought about getting rich overnight, and as a result, I lost half of my assets in two months. Now I understand that stability is the key. --- As for position sizing, it's really something you only understand after experiencing it. Lowering my position size immediately improved my sleep quality—I no longer wake up in the middle of the night to check the market haha. --- It sounds easy but is hard to do. Many people say they are cautious, but when it comes to action, they panic and go all-in. I know several people like that. --- Making a few hundred every day may seem insignificant, but the power of compound interest is truly amazing—it can lead to astonishing results over a year. --- I also engage in stable income strategies like Ant Wallet, but the prerequisite is self-control. Most people simply can't endure it. --- Very straightforward advice, but I'm just worried that after listening, some will turn around and go all-in again. Such lessons can only be learned through personal experience. --- Position sizing and mindset are correct points, but the key is that there's a vast gap between knowing and actually doing.

That's right, greed is truly the biggest killer in the crypto world. I have firsthand experience with the advice to reduce positions; it really can improve sleep quality significantly. This is the right path—steady compound interest is more valuable than anything else. Making money isn't about gambling with luck; you have to learn to survive. Consistent small profits day after day can indeed accumulate into great wealth, the key is to hold on.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most people just can't listen. The dream of getting rich overnight is still too tempting. Having a low position really helps you sleep well, and I have deep experience with this. The key is to get through the greedy days at the beginning. Ant Wallet's approach is indeed stable, but to be honest, you need to find a rhythm that suits you. Not everyone can stick to it day after day.

That's a good point, but execution is too difficult. Most people still can't change their habit of chasing gains and selling in panic.

That's right, staying alive is a skill, but I have to be honest—very few people can actually hold onto small gains. Most people still can't endure the sideways market.
