The moment your account balance keeps shrinking, a sense of helplessness floods in. The crypto world indeed allows a few to turn their fortunes around quickly, but most people end up taking a tumble here. I once saw someone share that they went from a debt of 120,000 to 860,000 in 58 days. My first reaction wasn't "That's amazing," but rather thinking—there must be discipline and strategies behind this that ordinary people can't see.



**The Truth About the Crypto World**

This is not a cash machine. After continuous losses, you still need to keep going; the key is whether you can truly reflect on yourself and then make changes. Blindly holding on will only let your account continue to shrink. Thoughtful adjustments are the only way to turn the situation around.

So why do you always lose money? It boils down to these points—emotional trading, risk management being virtually nonexistent, and lacking a systematic trading logic. During my early days in the market, I fell into all these traps.

The market is counter-human. When others are greedy, you need to stay calm; when others are fearful, you need to have the courage. This sounds incredibly simple, but executing it is as hard as climbing to the sky.

**Swing Trading: A Balanced Solution for Ordinary People**

Among various trading methods, swing trading might be the most suitable choice for most people—it doesn't require staring at the screen all day like day trading, nor does it demand enduring 50% volatility like long-term holding.

Its logic is clear: capture medium-term price fluctuations over a few days to weeks, entering and exiting before market sentiment reverses. In the volatile crypto market, this trick works especially well. Prices never move in a straight line; they always wave—making it the perfect stage for swing trading.

The key is to learn how to control your emotions and develop truly executable strategies. Success in the crypto world is never about luck; it's about understanding market rhythms and maintaining self-discipline.

No problem with that. I have the most say in emotional trading, and that's how I lost the most severely. I'm also trying swing trading, but it's much harder to execute than to talk about. The guy who turned around in 58 days probably experienced several rounds of liquidation, it's impossible to do it overnight. I agree with the perspective of good articles, but real change depends on oneself to be ruthless in execution. The phrase "the market goes against human nature" always hits hard, but knowing and doing are worlds apart.

In 58 days, from a debt of 120,000 to 860,000? Sounds easy, but the guy I bet five bucks with has also gone through the moment when his account was directly wiped out.

That's right, emotional trading is truly a bottomless pit; I am a living example of the opposite. Swing trading sounds simple, but execution still depends on self-discipline, which can't be cheated. 58 days from debt to 860,000? You have to see if it's survivor bias; I don't know anyone this aggressive. I did think about giving up at the moment of loss, but upon reflection, it was my lack of discipline, not a problem with the crypto world. I believe in the market being counter to human nature, but it's always greed—buying on the rise and can't control it. Swing trading is better than holding blindly; you don't need to stare at the screen all the time, but risk management still needs to be done well, or you'll lose quickly anyway. These are old clichés, but few actually practice them; I am also exploring.

58 days from a debt of 120,000 to 860,000? Come on, I've heard this kind of story many times. Most of the time, it's survivor bias combined with self-glorification.

58 days from debt to 860,000? I'm questioning life now, this is definitely not just luck. That's right, most people just stubbornly hold on, and the worse it gets the more they suffer. The thing I fear most is that feeling of knowing you need to adjust but still stubbornly holding on. Swing trading sounds good, but in practice it really tests your character. Honestly, I still tend to be emotional.
