At that time, I was squatting in the corridor eating a cold bun, repeatedly thinking to myself: only by living long enough do you earn the right to laugh last.

Six years ago, times were tough—my bank card was already empty, and the only 20,000 yuan I had left was being closely monitored by my landlord. At that critical moment, a certain digital asset was priced at 3,000 dollars. I didn't think much, just bought a fraction of it, then immediately uninstalled the trading app and set an alarm for six months later as if nothing had happened.

This can't be called a belief; to put it bluntly, it's just a fear of not being able to control oneself.

"The price doubled after three months. My friends joked that I didn't have patience and sold too early, and I replied, 'Survival is what matters before we can talk about the rest.' Looking back, at least nine out of ten people who joined the circle with me have disappeared. Some went bankrupt, some broke down mentally, and some have already changed careers. Only those who have lived long enough have the chance to see the later stories."

I wrote down the "Turtle Trading Method" that I discovered myself on a piece of paper and stuck it on the fridge, and it has been there for six years. These are lessons learned with real money from the market, and today I share them with everyone.

**Six Turtle Rules**

**1. Rapid rises and slow declines are the lullabies of the main force; sleep when you can; a sudden spike followed by a plunge, don't hesitate, exit first.**

The market is best at playing with people's hearts. When prices suddenly soar and then gradually decline, it is actually the main forces trying to cultivate a "habitual dependence" in retail investors - making you habitually bullish. Conversely, once you see a waterfall-like crash after a sudden spike, there’s no need to hesitate or look for excuses; stepping back to observe is always the safest choice.

**2. Sudden drops and slow rises are mostly fishing rods; the more you watch, the more money you lose.**

After a rapid drop, there is a slow rebound, which is like a fisherman’s bait—specifically designed to lure those who think they have reached the bottom. In this market rhythm, the more actively you trade, the more you lose. The truth in the crypto world is: lazy people often earn more than those who are diligent.

**3. Continued mild volume at low levels indicates that large players are quietly accumulating; trading volume is drying up at high levels, and the sell-off button is waving at you**

Trading volume is the barometer of the market.
