#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 From struggling in the crypto world for 8 years to simply surviving is winning: The brutal truths about trading I've learned through blood and sweat
Having been in the crypto market for 8 years, traveling from south to north across various locations, I’ve discovered a harsh truth — those who seek to get rich overnight are often the first to disappear from the market; conversely, those who seem "dumb" tend to survive until the end.
There are no insider tips, no quick wealth secrets, and no luck involved. The reason I’m still in this market is because I did one thing right: I didn’t get kicked out by the market!
Every bull market is bustling with activity; when a bear market hits, it becomes deserted. Why is it always like this? Because most people don’t understand that surviving in this market has nothing to do with accurately predicting the trend. The real keys are these two points — understanding where the funds are flowing and controlling your greed!
These 6 rules are based on my practical experience of over 3,000 trading days, each learned through real money:
1. Rapid rise followed by slow decline? Don’t panic and sell in a rush! This is usually the main players shaking out positions and rotating, not a real crash.
2. A rebound after a flash crash? Don’t foolishly try to buy the bottom! That’s just a temporary market sentiment correction, not a bottom reversal, and you risk becoming the bagholder.
3. High trading volume at a high price? Hold on confidently; if trading suddenly stops, get out quickly! Volume indicates competition and bidding; strange silence is a real danger signal — the big players have already left.
4. A single large bullish candle? Don’t rush to celebrate the bottom! Bottoms are formed gradually; only sustained increasing volume shows the main players are truly building positions. A single candle’s abnormal movement is often a trap.
5. Watch the volume, don’t just look at the price trend! Candlestick charts show surface phenomena, but the real logic lies behind the volume; both are indispensable.
6. The highest-level trading skill is actually holding an empty position! Resisting the urge to chase highs, staying calm, and being patient enough not to act — that’s how you stay in the game until the end.
The market doesn’t reward the smart; it only rewards those who survive long enough.
All the pitfalls I’ve stepped into and the detours I’ve taken are here. How you use this depends on your choices.

It's been 8 years and you're still talking about this. The nice way to put it is that as long as you're alive, you're winning. The less nice way to put it is that you haven't made any money.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who gets addicted to full-position bottom fishing at high levels. Every time I say this time the MACD golden cross at the bottom is definitely happening, but... uh, I've heard the phrase "living is winning" way too many times.

well technically the whole "just don't get rekt" thesis is just saying survival bias with extra steps lmao... but yeah ngl the volume reading part actually slaps. most people staring at charts don't realize they're just pattern matching their own cope

Living is winning, that hits hard. After so many years of watching people come and go in the crypto world, it's true—lasting longer is the real skill, more effective than any technical analysis.

It took 8 years to realize that "living is winning." That's really harsh and hits too many people's sore spots.
