In a bull run, suckers grow rapidly, while in a Bear Market, they are pulled up by the roots. Those who truly know how to make money never pull the trigger at any time—they only strike at their own moment.

**The Illusion of Sudden Wealth vs. Reality**

Do you remember the scene when Bitcoin soared to $68,000? Social media was filled with screenshots of 4000% returns, and a bunch of people were shouting about quitting their jobs to trade coins. But the other side of the story is often much harsher. Some made 8 million during the bull run, but due to not taking profits in time, they lost their entire fortune in one night and ended up as a security guard.

This is the truth of the crypto world - in the fluctuations of one day that feel like a year, 90% of liquidations stem from the same thing: the gambler's mentality. When they profit, they want to double down infinitely, and when they lose, they stubbornly refuse to admit defeat, ultimately being consumed by leverage.

**Three Rules for Survival**

First, funds must be layered. Dress your assets in a bulletproof vest.

The live water warehouse accounts for 10%, which is used for short-term fluctuations, with a set daily trading limit. When profitable, it feels as comfortable as picking up coins, and when losing, it won't hurt fundamentally.

The core position accounts for 60%, which is where the real money is made. You need to follow the weekly trend, but opening a position must simultaneously meet three conditions - breaking through the previous high, an increase in trading volume, and MA30 golden cross MA60. Once you earn 30%, forcibly withdraw 50% out; don’t wait for it to drop back down.

Emergency positions account for 30%, and will never take the initiative to attack. Only when the market is being bloodied will they be used in batches, such as when Bitcoin falls more than 15% in a single day.

When Bitcoin drops to $80,000 in November 2025, those with emergency positions will gradually lay out their plans, and by the time it rebounds to $86,000, they will have hedged a considerable amount of their losses. Those without emergency positions can only watch helplessly.

Second, signal filtering. Only trade within the market conditions you understand.

The most common mistake retail investors make is treating a volatile market as a trending market. Little do they know that the market is in a state of fluctuation most of the time, and true trending markets are a scarce resource.
