#美联储降息 $FHEThese small coins like $BTC $FHE indeed test people's mental resilience. The principles are actually well understood, but execution is the real challenge. Over the past few years, I've figured out a way to navigate this space. It’s not sophisticated, and sometimes a bit rough, but it has repeatedly saved my life.



Last year, a friend's story gave me inspiration. At that time, his account was almost drained. He was daily chasing hot topics, wanting to jump on every trend. The result was either getting stuck in a dead end or being shaken out. His psychological defenses finally collapsed, and every move was driven by emotion.

He asked me if there was still a way out for ordinary retail investors in the crypto world. I didn't give him a complicated answer, just said—you're in too much of a rush.

Later, I shared my approach over the years with him in detail. He tried to slow down his pace, and after more than a month, not only did his account stop bleeding, but it also started to recover slowly. Today, I want to write down these insights comprehensively.

**First thing: Don't gamble on price rises or falls.**

When prices skyrocket, that's often when big players are preparing to exit. The best entry points are usually hidden in moments when no one is paying attention and discussion is at its lowest. This logic is counterintuitive, but experience will tell you how accurate it is.

**Second thing: Even small capital should be diversified.**

I'm not suggesting you evenly distribute your funds, but you must keep some liquidity. That way, when the market drops sharply, you still have ammunition to average down, rather than being forced to watch passively. This psychological advantage can sometimes be more critical than technical analysis.

**Third thing: Never fully commit your position.**

Most losses aren't due to choosing the wrong coin, but because in a heavy position, you give back all your previous gains. Position management is like a lifeline; it directly determines how long you can survive in this game.

If you're trading short-term, timing becomes even more crucial. When the market is moving sideways, you should honestly put your hands down; until the direction is clear, waiting is the smartest move.

Rapid declines often present opportunities, but don’t try to eat everything at once. Lay out your positions gradually. When the market starts consolidating after a quick rise, the risk is often hidden. Lock in profits on positions that should be secured, and don’t be greedy.

This approach may seem a bit simple, with no fancy tricks, but it can really help you avoid deadly traps. Don’t always be attracted by stories of overnight riches—honestly, that kind of luck usually only tricks you once.

What we truly seek is not a single astonishing return, but the rhythm of surviving each wave and continuously compounding. The crypto world’s door is always open; those who get trapped are often not the slow movers, but the impatient ones always looking for shortcuts.

That's so true. I'm the impatient type who has already been taught a few lessons. --- Diversifying positions is something I now deeply understand. Previously, I went all-in on one coin, which almost bankrupted me. --- Wait, this logic is really counterintuitive. Planning during a downturn sounds easy, but actually doing it is deadly. --- I think the hardest part is the mentality. I understand all the theories, but when the price drops sharply, my hands start to shake. --- This guy's advice on averaging down in batches has really saved me. It's much better than going all-in at once. --- It turns out that the ones getting burned are people like me who are impulsive. The real problem isn't choosing the right coins but greed. --- That hits close to home. Recently, I’ve been making reckless moves while the market is sideways. No wonder I lost money. --- This strategy has no tricks but can really help you survive. It's much more reliable than those calling signals. --- I have to remind myself repeatedly not to gamble on rises and falls. I keep trying to catch the bottom or top, only to get smashed. --- Position management is the lifeline. I need to keep this phrase on my forehead.

That's so true, I'm the kind of person who gets emotionally hijacked... --- Diversifying my positions has really saved me multiple times; otherwise, I would have blown up my entire stash by now. --- The key is to withstand boredom; most people simply can't sit still. --- Your friend's story is just like mine, chasing hot topics every day until I'm on the brink of bankruptcy... Now I'm starting to learn to slow down. --- I have to remind myself repeatedly not to gamble on ups and downs; always trying to catch the bottom ends up getting me crushed. --- That's reasonable. Compared to those flashy tricks, staying alive is more important than anything. --- Short-term rhythm is indeed a matter of life and death, but I always fail to grasp it, haha. --- The most terrifying thing is greed during consolidation periods; the feeling of giving back all the profits is just disgusting.

Really, stopping bleeding is much harder than getting rich quickly It's better to live longer than to sound good; that's how the crypto world is.

Position management is essentially about protecting against re-entrancy attacks... As long as there is liquidity, you will never be completely liquidated. I've seen too many smart contracts collapse due to lack of checks, and the crypto space is the same.

No problem with what you're saying, but most people simply can't do it. Mindset is much more difficult than technique. --- My least favorite advice is "to stagger the layout," it sounds right, but in practice, it's really a torment. --- Your friend's story sounds like chicken soup, but it is indeed so simple and effective... thanks to him not continuing to gamble later. --- Position management, even if explained a thousand times, some people still go all-in. Wake up, everyone. --- Counterintuitive things are often the most profitable, but unfortunately, most people won't see that day. --- "People who are impatient and always want to take shortcuts get scammed"—this sentence is about me, haha. --- This set of logic has no tricks, yet it's precisely this simple thing that can save lives, how ironic.
