The first year entering the crypto space is actually a process of paying tuition fees.



Seeing coins like $ZEC, $TNSR, $JELLYJELLY, how many people rush in just to double their money? As a result, tens of thousands, fifty thousand, or even borrowed principal disappear overnight. This is not an isolated case; I have seen many accounts liquidated, far more than you might imagine.

Those who truly survive do so not by working harder, but by finding the right path earlier.

Over the years, I’ve encountered traders with a few particularly deep patterns:

Some start with just a few hundred USDT and, using the right methods, go through three rounds of adjustments, stabilizing their accounts again. Others rebuild their rhythm after consecutive liquidations, gradually stopping the bleeding and recovering. Some even only make 1-2 trades per day, but because of strong execution, their monthly gains exceed those who trade frequently.

The commonality among them is simple —

No longer betting on instincts, no longer following rumors, no longer gambling with luck.

No matter how tempting the candlestick charts of $ZEC look or how暴力 the涨幅 of $TNSR is, without a system, it’s ultimately useless. The cruel truth in the crypto world is: you think you’re not suited for this, but actually, it’s just that you haven’t chosen the right method or missed the right rhythm.

To judge whether someone can turn things around, look at two things: how much is left in their account? Are they still willing to follow the rules?

People who can truly change the situation are never those who question the most, but those who are willing to honestly execute.

One person may not go far, but with the right direction, the right method, the right rhythm, plus persistent execution — that is the key to surviving and even turning the tide in crypto trading.
ZEC-6.41%
TNSR-7.87%

Come on, no matter how nicely you put it, you can't change the fact that the crypto world is essentially gambling. The number of people losing money is more than ten million, but how many have turned things around? Count them on one hand. Strong execution? That's survivor bias of those who have survived. The real rules are: fund management, mindset, and luck. All are indispensable. Rebuilding with small funds sounds appealing, but most people won't last until that day. It's not a matter of method; this market just eats people.

The truth is simple: you need discipline, or all the capital in the world is wasted. Brutally honest words, but unfortunately most people can't hear them. This is the real deal: a method system is more important than effort. That's how the crypto world really is. No kidding, I'm the kind of fool who operates frequently. Feels like they're talking about me — every time I follow the trend, I end up cutting losses. I really resonate with the example of rebuilding with small funds; I've seen turnarounds happen. The key is still mindset and execution. When these two are in sync, you can truly survive.

Agreed, a system is worth much more than luck. That said, you still need to be alive to have a story to tell. Losing the principal borrowed overnight really hurt, but waking up soon was the realization. Execution ability is truly the ultimate, more effective than anything else. People who play by the rules end up laughing in the end, while others are just regretting. If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. Once you realize this, you'll feel comfortable. Some people just refuse to admit they're wrong, only waking up when they get liquidated. Small repeated trials and errors are much better than going all in at once. It seems most people just die from greed, it's tough. Getting the rhythm right, even one or two trades can keep you alive, and that's the difference.

That's right, method is a hundred times more important than luck. This hits hard. I've also lost several people around me. Someone can't hold back again, huh? Frequent trading is really suicide; I've seen too many cases. Rebuilding with small funds, I agree with this approach. People with strong execution skills do earn more, that's true. Without a system, you're just giving away money—every sentence cuts deep. The consequences of borrowing money to trade crypto, I don't want to see it a second time. Only those who understand stop-loss can survive; everyone else is cannon fodder.

Really speaking, the first year is just a large-scale leek farm No matter how much ZEC surges, it can't change the fate of being dead without a system. I believe in this.

That's right, it's about execution. It really filters out those who can survive. Having a system alone is useless; you must follow the rules genuinely, or it's still gambling. I've seen too many people die because of "wait a little longer" and "just this once."
