This is not a teaching clip from some big V, nor is it to show off how awesome I am.

I haven't had a miracle of tenfold gains in a day, nor did I catch a bull market and win by luck. Over these eight years, I've experienced account blow-ups, endured bear markets, and watched people around me disappear one by one from this market. I’ve had accounts wiped out, mental breakdowns, and I only survived by working part-time to cover margins.

It was only later that I truly understood: whether you can make money in the crypto world doesn’t depend on how smart you are, but on how long you can survive.

Below are 15 paths, none of which are from books or theories. These are all practical ironclad rules built from real money, record of margin calls, and countless sleepless nights.

**Core Principles:**

1. Capital is life. During a bear market, protecting your capital is the only chance to bottom fish; without capital, you can’t turn things around.
2. Ban greed to win. Don’t let FOMO emotions drive you into chasing highs; don’t chase the top, take small profits and exit to stay safe.
3. Focus, don’t all-in. Choose your track carefully and hold a heavy position, but leave enough reserve to handle bull-bear reversals.
4. Light positions, minimal moves. Don’t fight the market; heavy positions are prone to liquidation, and holding through dips is just jumping into a pit.
5. Open positions slowly, take profits quickly, cut losses harshly. Watch K-line charts and wait for signals when building a position; once in position, you must exit, don’t hold through losses.
6. Profit has a ceiling, losses have no bottom. Leverage one step too far and it’s disaster.
7. Stop-loss is life-saving. Exit once you reach your target; hesitation only deepens your trap each time.
8. Unrealized gains are not real money. Only realized U.S. dollars count as true profit.
9. Extreme markets must reverse. Don’t panic sell during a waterfall decline, and don’t blindly chase during crazy rallies.
10. No signals, just rest. Missing one trade isn’t a loss; blindly opening positions is the real loss.
11. Opportunities are easy to find, waiting for them is hard. Those double-your-money trades are the result of “endurance.”
12. Take profits once targets are met. Close the app after hitting daily goals, don’t chase extra gains.
13. Discipline keeps stop-losses; market conditions determine profits. Opportunities are market gifts.
14. Wealth lies in silence. Ranging markets can breed big moves; frequent trading is the easiest way to miss out.
15. When your mindset is shattered, return to your strategy. Trading is about self-control, not calculation skills.

These principles sound simple, but really practicing them is hard. Winners in the crypto world are never those who make the fastest gains, but those who stay steady and dare to cut losses.

Memorize these in your mind, and avoid detours for three years. I hope you are now taking profits, not trying to solve losses.
