#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 When I first put 50,000 yuan into the crypto world that year, I looked just like all the other newbies.



During the day, I was distracted at work; at night, I could stare at the K-line chart until dawn; when prices rose, I was terrified and dared not to act; when they fell, I couldn’t sleep; whenever I saw someone pumping, I’d follow along, and a quick correction would send me into panic. I missed the market’s moves several times, and instead, the market’s volatility repeatedly shattered my mindset.

In less than six months, my account had shrunk by nearly half. I was busy spinning like a top every day.

During that time, I finally realized a very painful truth:

In this circle, people losing money are not actually not trying hard enough — quite the opposite — they are working their asses off.

Every day, I diligently watched the charts, chased the hot trends, switched currencies tirelessly, only to end up spending all my principal on trading fees and pointless emotional drain. It was like a mouse trapped on a treadmill — the more it ran, the faster it lost.

It wasn’t until the market taught me a harsh lesson several times that I finally surrendered. At that moment, I understood: I am not a genius, and I have no right to predict market ups and downs every day.

So I gave up all the fancy tricks and indicators, and developed a simple, straightforward method that sounds a bit “silly” but is effective.

This approach isn’t clever at all; it’s just a set of rules that seem to defy logic:

Avoid coins without a clear trend; never chase the hottest coins of the day; split your positions and always leave a backup plan; if the market isn’t clear, just stay still — better to miss out than force a trade.

Doesn’t that sound like no passion at all?

Honestly, at first, I thought this pace was too slow and boring.

But something strange happened — my account curve gradually stabilized, no longer the rollercoaster of wild swings; drawdowns shrank; the rhythm became steadier; and my mood slowly returned to normal.

Over the next two years, I hardly stayed up all night watching the charts, and I rarely sought validation in the public squares. When the market was active, I’d seize the opportunity to bite; when it was dull, I’d sit quietly, drink tea, and wait.

Gradually, that 50,000 yuan account grew to 1.15 million USD.

There’s no story of overnight riches — it’s all about the confidence built up little by little through compound interest.

Later, I truly understood that the biggest test in making money isn’t technology, but whether you can control your own hands.

The core still comes down to position management and emotional control. That set of technical indicators really is just a way to collect IQ taxes.

This story is so true. I also got caught multiple times before I understood this principle. The key is to be steady with your hands and not to mess around blindly.
