#数字资产市场动态 The process of turning a few thousand dollars into hundreds of thousands sounds exciting, but the story behind it is far from romantic.



Over the years of navigating the market, I’ve seen too many people make a killing in one wave, only to lose everything in the next. What’s the difference? It’s not luck, nor insider information, but the understanding of "when to exit."

I remember the last rapid surge of mainstream coins; many people entered the market. But only a few managed to turn unrealized gains into actual cash. Many friends in the group are conflicted — they’re not clueless about market direction, but are trapped by one thought: Should I wait a bit longer to earn more?

Greed has cost me dearly. Several times before, I was in the right position to exit, but because I couldn’t bear to give up that extra profit, I watched my gains shrink, sometimes even returning to the starting point.

My later summarized approach is actually quite simple: When the market gives room and the trend is upward, follow the wave with reasonable positions; once certainty diminishes and the structure becomes unclear, cash out immediately.

Many people want to master every K-line and every rise and fall — but that mindset itself is a trap. Market movements can never be perfectly predicted. Instead of being overly greedy, it’s better to secure profits at comfortable levels.

The logic behind mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, SOL is straightforward: capital concentrates in these top assets. Once the trend is established, following it feels more reliable. My approach is to use moderate leverage, set clear take-profit points, lock in what I can, and let the market play out the rest.

Looking at my holdings structure, you’ll understand this logic — no full positions, no dream target prices, just cautious accumulation step by step.

Why can some people grow their accounts steadily in the same market, while others remain stagnant? Ultimately, it’s one sentence: I value longevity over quick, explosive gains.

My plan now is to cash out part of my holdings first, then re-enter at a more comfortable price after a correction. Some people get anxious, thinking that missing this train means missing the next, but my experience tells me — real opportunities never disappear. I’ve seen too many cases where greed wiped out an account entirely.

There will still be room for action, but only when the market structure becomes clearer. I never rush anyone into the market, nor do I recommend followers chase after raging trends.

The key to building a large account isn’t a few big wins, but consistently securing the profits you deserve. Over time, this is how the power of compound growth manifests.

You're right, greed is indeed the ultimate killer. I used to be reluctant to give up those small gains, watching unrealized profits evaporate. Now I've learned to be smart and run when I need to.

That's right, greed can really bankrupt you. I've seen too many people double their money only to lose it all back.

There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just worried that too many people know this principle, but very few can actually implement it. Most of my friends who make money follow this logic.

It's really true, greed is just an account trap. I used to be the same, watching it hit the daily limit and still wanting to wait, but in the end, I got stuck.
