#美联储重启降息步伐 $BOB What truly crushes retail investors is never those few points of floating losses on the books, but rather a sudden liquidation notice in the middle of the night.

$ZEC I've seen too many stories like this: holding a few thousand USDT in principal, staring at fluctuating candlesticks, chasing signals in group chats, and blindly going all-in on trending coins. Three days of adrenaline, one week and the account is wiped out, two weeks and the person is gone. They think they're fighting for a chance to turn things around, but in reality, they're just fuel at the bottom of the market food chain.

$PIPPIN I've paid my own tuition, too. That year, I entered the market with 20,000 USDT, confidently chasing pumps and dumps, stubbornly averaging down during pullbacks, and panic-selling at the worst moments. After four months, half my account was gone. But it was precisely that ordeal that forced me to engrain risk management into my bones—then, over the next four months, I steadily grew my funds to 100,000 USDT without a single liquidation.

Later, I summed up three survival principles: First, never let your position exceed half your capital—keeping bullets in reserve gives you a chance to turn the tables. Second, always execute take-profit and stop-loss orders decisively—don’t hold onto losses, and don’t get greedy with gains. Third, never touch coins you don’t understand—missing out is always better than losing money.

When the market is crazy, you need to stay calm; when it’s consolidating, you need patience. Only by protecting your principal can you turn opportunities into real profits. All these pitfalls I’ve stepped into have now become valuable experience.
