#数字资产市场动态 There is an old saying in the crypto circle that is often on people's lips: "The crypto world doesn't lack wealthy people; what it lacks is those who live long enough to become wealthy."



I used to scoff at it.

Until my account went through several rollercoasters—dropping from tens of thousands to a few thousand—I finally understood the weight of this saying.

**Quick money relies on luck, but how do you survive long-term?**

The first profit often comes from luck. But to preserve and amplify it, what you need is a sense of rhythm. This is the most easily overlooked aspect.

I also went through that phase—my mind was full of dreams of doubling overnight and hitting the jackpot in three months. But what happened? Three times full position, three times wiped out completely. During those days, I stared at the charts all night, palms sweating, afraid of missing any fluctuation, even eating while watching K-line charts.

Until one night, I suddenly had an epiphany: **The market isn't short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can stay calm.**

I started changing my strategy.

The key turning point was this realization—don't be scared by the ceiling; set small goals in stages:

From 15,000 to 150,000 is "building a foundation";
From 150,000 to 1.5 million is "refining skills";
From 1.5 million to 15 million is "adjusting mindset."

Each stage is actually very simple—just do one thing: find a rhythm that allows you to make steady moves, then stick to review and repeatedly iterate.

During that period, I only chased trend trades, never bet on rebounds. If I won, I took profits immediately; if I lost, I cut losses quickly, never being greedy or stubborn. As a result, I turned 15,000 into 150,000 in four months. Then, half a year later, I broke through 1 million.

It may not sound very fast, but the process was surprisingly steady.

**There is a hard prerequisite for this path.**

This money must be truly idle funds. If it causes you insomnia or doubts, then it’s not capital but a "time bomb." When the market fluctuates slightly, your emotions will collapse first—can your account still survive?

Also, beware of those glamorous "high-yield products." Whether it's "ecological innovation," "30% annualized return," or "referral dividends," nine out of ten are just shell companies for Ponzi schemes. The easier they look and the more attractive their promises, the deeper the trap.

**How do real experts play the game?**

They don’t rely on shouting signals or insider tips but stay steady in their rhythm amid chaos. They understand one principle: **Making big money doesn’t require being smarter; it requires a replicable logic.**

A repeatable method + a calm mind + the power of compound growth over time—this way, small capital can gradually grow into a large sum.

So there’s no need to rush into overnight riches. First, learn to stay steady. In the crypto market, slow isn’t failure; slow is the only way to win. Panic is actually self-destructive.

I’ve personally walked this path before, stepping into many traps. Looking back now, those failures all taught me the same lesson—whether it’s $BTC or $ETH, ultimately, it’s not about trading skills but whether you can control your desires.

Honestly, I just couldn't control the desires of that group of people. I'm still in the pit. --- This phased logic sounds fine, but the problem is execution, brother. --- Three times of full position and all blew up? Ha, I've done five times now. Now I want to buy the dip no matter what I see. --- I agree with the "idle money" point, but whose money is really idle? It's all hard-earned money. --- Sense of rhythm... I've heard this term too many times, but I still haven't figured out how to find it. --- Watching you go from 15,000 to 1,000,000, I keep thinking, why can't I do it? Then I keep going all in. That's life. --- I've tried all products with a 30% annualized return. Now, when I see a promising promise, I just run. --- Being slow is the winning strategy, but try experiencing a 50% account shrinkage—can you really stay calm?

There's nothing wrong with that, but nine out of ten who can actually do it will still be sabotaged by their emotions.

You really hit me where it hurts. Those three times I went all-in and got liquidated to poverty—I still have nightmares about them. Mindset is everything—honestly, it matters way more than any technical analysis.

That's right. I also went all-in impulsively back then, and as a result, I ended up back to square one. Now, I prefer to invest steadily and patiently, which is much more comfortable than dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Well said. Losing your mindset is more deadly than a margin call. I used to be a full-position small gambler, but now I only follow trends and avoid betting on rebounds. I've really lived much longer. That's why most people end up killing themselves, not because of the market. It may sound slow, but steady... I think that's the only way to survive long-term. Those stories of getting rich overnight are just stories. I strongly agree with the idea of using idle funds. People who trade with their living expenses often experience mental breakdowns at the first dip and can't stay calm. I've seen too many cases of 30% annualized returns; nine out of ten are dead by then. The key is to find a logic you can replicate. Don't always think about the next double-up opportunity—that's the real way to win.

That's right, in the first three months I also went all-in and blew up three times in a row, it was really miserable. Now I rely on rhythm to make a living, and I actually feel more comfortable. --- It sounds like motivational talk, but only after stepping on these pits do you understand that you can't rush. --- The most heartbreaking thing is that phrase "timed bomb." People trading with living expenses can't really play the mindset game. --- I haven't touched products with 30% annualized returns for a long time; I've stepped on too many pits. --- This phased approach is actually about quitting greed; taking it slow is actually faster. --- Wow, in four months, from 15,000 to 150,000—that's a steady way to live, unlike me gambling daily on rebounds. --- The key is to control yourself; otherwise, no matter how many opportunities there are, they are all useless.
