#大户持仓动态 1000 bucks in, go all in and bet everything, adding leverage and charging forward recklessly. Thinking you can double your money in half a month, but the account ends up wiped out. Many people lose money in the crypto world, but they often miss the real reason — it’s not the unpredictability of the market, but their own impatient and impulsive nature that they can’t change.



I’ve also blown up my account this way. That year, I had 1000U and thought I could turn my life around with one shot. Going all in, adding leverage, buying more when prices dropped, forcing myself to trust every decision. Half a month later, looking at my account balance, I finally understood a painful truth: the biggest enemy in crypto isn’t the market ups and downs, but that restless heart of yours.

After years of trial and error, I finally settled down. Last year, I mentored a beginner who started with 1200U. He wasn’t in a rush to make quick money, but played it steady and solid. After four months, his account grew to 25,000, now stable above 38,000, never blowing up — even I was a bit surprised. When I asked him the secret, he said it was simple: just remember to keep the phrase "stay alive" in mind.

From day one, I taught him how to allocate his funds:

• 400U for short-term trading, focusing on one trade per day, taking profits and not being greedy;

• 400U for swing trading, only entering when signals are clear, avoiding guessing ambiguous ups and downs, holding his position tightly;

• The remaining 400U stays untouched, no matter how crazy the market gets — this is the safety net, the seed of a rebound.

Many people fall into the trap of "bet everything at once," but we stay steady by always leaving a way out. In the first two months, he didn’t make much, nor did he lose — just stayed patient. By the third month, ETH had a rally, and his swing trade gained 60%. I immediately told him: "Take out 30% of the profit now." When he saw the money hit his account, he finally understood — making money is never gambling; it’s about waiting and protecting.

Most of the time in crypto, the market is bottoming out or oscillating. Frequent trading is basically giving away fees to the platform. I often say: when you can’t see the market clearly, do nothing — just lie down and win; wait until the trend is clear before acting. One profitable trade can be worth fifty random guesses.

I personally went from 8000U to a point where I no longer worry about making a living, by sticking to three bottom lines: no all-in bets, no fighting the trend, no letting emotions control decisions. Rules are like a fortress against risks; emotions are like explosives — once out of control, they can drag you down.

The market is brewing; don’t wander blindly in the dark alone.

Really, seeing stories like this Full Position All in makes me want to advise, but I can't persuade them.

To put it bluntly, the fees are secretly eating away at your profits. Frequent trading is basically suicide. I've spent too many late nights hoping for the "double tomorrow" fantasy, only to realize in the end that doing nothing is truly winning.

Honestly, after hearing so many stories of "survival," I actually feel a bit heartbroken. That newbie tripled their investment in four months, but I feel like I'm still standing still.

Really, I've seen too many cases of all-in. Wanting to turn around 1000 bucks but ending up with a margin call. Mindset is the biggest killer. --- Not being greedy is easy to say but hard to do. When prices go up, you want to go all-in; as a result, you get caught in a squeeze. --- Splitting into three parts is indeed a brilliant move. It sounds conservative but is actually the way to survive the longest. --- I've also gone through dark times, feeling like smashing my phone when my account was wiped out. Looking back, I was just too greedy. --- The phrase "Winning by lying down" should be engraved in your mind. Reducing operations can really save a lot on transaction fees. --- Emotions are like explosives—what a perfect metaphor. Many people ruin themselves because of a moment of impulsiveness. --- If you can't see clearly, don't act. This is a lesson I only realized later. If I had understood earlier, I wouldn't have lost so badly.

Really, a full margin bet of ten thousand is not as satisfying as just surviving once.

That really hits home. Actually, I've stepped into this trap before. Going all-in with leverage was really a brain fart.
