#美国终止政府停摆危机 After spending a long time in the crypto market, I’ve discovered a harsh truth: there are many who make money, but very few who can hold onto it.

I’ve seen too many stories like this. I have a buddy who entered the market at the end of 2020 with $5,000. That bull run pushed his account to $100,000 — a 20x gain in half a year. I advised him to take profits? He thought I had a narrow view and insisted on waiting until his account hit $500,000. What happened next? The market turned, his account kept shrinking, and he finally exited with just a few hundred dollars, feeling defeated. He never came back.

I’ve also experienced losses myself. When my account reached $600,000, I was thinking, “Just one more big move, and I’ll hit a million.” But then a deep correction hit, and I was back down to $200,000. During that time, I couldn’t sleep, staring at the candlesticks in despair.

That loss was a lesson for me — this market isn’t about who earns the most, but about who can truly put money in their pocket. Many people see their account numbers soaring and think they’re destined for greatness, but in reality, they’re just waiting for the day they wipe out everything. Top traders understand: the last piece of meat in the market never belongs to the greedy.

Later, I set some strict rules for myself:
- When my account doubles, take out 30%;
- When it triples, cut it in half and walk away with half;
- As long as there’s profit, transfer a portion to the bank. No other reason — no matter how good the numbers look, if it’s not real, it’s just a bubble.

People often ask: how much is enough to make? Honestly, there’s no standard answer. But human desire is bottomless. Some can leave at the peak, others only wake up after hitting rock bottom.

The cruelest thing about this market is that the last ones laughing aren’t always the biggest earners, but those who know when to stop on the halfway up the mountain. Opportunities come with each cycle, markets change year after year, but if your principal is gone, everything else is just nonsense.

Now I’ve developed a steady, reliable approach. If you want to survive long in this market — remember: making money is a skill, but protecting your capital is true mastery.
