A lot of people jump into the crypto market with the idea of going all in and flipping their lives around in one shot.



To be honest, I went down that path too. Looking back now—if you want to stand firm in this market, never treat trading like gambling.

When I first entered, I only had a few thousand USDT as capital. I wasn't an institution or a whale, just an ordinary retail investor.

Now my account has grown to over 50 million.

It wasn't luck that got me here, but survival rules I learned after countless setbacks.

**Stage One: Don’t Rush to Earn, Learn Not to Lose First**

With a starting capital of 1,000 USDT, I would split it into 5 parts, investing only 200 USDT per trade.

Always leave yourself a way out in every trade:

- Always set stop-losses
- Set your take-profit targets in advance
- Don’t chase highs or panic at lows
- If the market is unclear, wait and see

If you stick to these, you'll beat 80% of the impulsive traders in the market.

**Stage Two: Scale Up with the Trend and Ride Big Moves**

After my account broke 10,000 USDT, I gradually increased my position to 25%.

Once the trend was confirmed, I would build positions in batches to let profits keep rolling.

While others focus on "how many points did I make today,"

I care about one thing only: Was my direction correct? How far can this trend go?

**Stage Three: Secure Your Gains, Don’t Let Human Nature Hold You Back**

After my account surpassed 200,000, I set a rule for myself:

Withdraw a portion of profits every week.

Not because I’m scared of a market crash, but because I’m wary of getting overconfident.

The more stable you are, the more the market will reward you.

**Why Do Most People Fail to Make Money? The Reason Is Simple**

- Chaotic position management
- Stop-loss is always "next time for sure"
- Can’t handle pullbacks even when the direction is right
- Get cocky after a win, fall apart after a loss

Yesterday, a friend who grew his account from 800 USDT to 12,000 USDT just withdrew his profits and was too excited to sleep.

I told him: this is just the beginning.

The crypto market isn’t a place for lone wolves.

If you have no information edge, no rhythm, no risk control awareness, then you’re fighting the entire market with a retail investor’s mindset.

If you want to go further and earn more steadily,

Then execute every single trade carefully and diligently,

And walk this path with both stability and longevity.

That's right, but I really have seen people get rich by going all-in, and I've also seen people lose everything by going all-in. Now, I actually think those who quietly make a fortune are the real winners. After years of airdrop farming, breaking even became easy a long time ago—now it's all about reinvesting and riding the adrenaline. But looking at your logic, it's way more reliable than those friends back in the day who kept saying "all in, get on board now." The key is to stay alive—if you're out, nothing else matters. This whole stop-loss and take-profit thing isn't that hard in theory; the real challenge is not getting soft when it's time to execute. I've seen too many people set a stop-loss when placing their orders, but when the loss hits, they get shaky and cancel it. Your point about "not chasing highs or selling at lows" really hits home. Sometimes the biggest gains actually come on those days when it feels like you're doing nothing at all.

The way this guy brags is starting to look more and more familiar to me... It's the same old story of going from a few thousand bucks to tens of millions. I just want to know why no one ever posts account screenshots. Talking about stop-losses is easy, but when it comes down to the critical moment, how many people are actually willing to cut their losses? I've seen way too many people say "You must set a stop-loss," but not a single one actually follows through. 50 million sounds impressive, but in this market, the number of people who can actually survive and make stable profits is already rare. Most people just keep bouncing back and forth between gambling and barely staying afloat.

Alright, this theory really hits the mark, but I'm just worried that if too many people know about it, they'll all end up falling into the same trap.

Is 500 million real? How can they tell stories like this?

Ah... is the 50 million real? Feels like a story. --- I've remembered "don't chase highs, don't panic sell." It's more useful than anything else. --- "I'll stop loss next time for sure"—that's how I ended up losing big. --- The scariest thing is making money once and getting cocky, then losing it all in the next round. --- Scaling in really is steady, just takes some patience. --- He's right, most people just can't handle the pullback and end up selling. --- 50 million sounds exaggerated, but the logic is solid—it's just hard to execute. --- That withdrawal point is key—so many people make money and never actually cash out. --- Feels like they're teaching you how to leave this market alive. --- Stop-loss really is a lifeline. I used to never set one and got wiped out.

Honestly, stop-loss sounds easy but is a real killer to execute. Watching my account drop makes my hands shake. Only after losing money did I understand what risk control really means. Now I finally get how great it is not to chase highs. Fifty million is a number that's hard to reach, but I do believe in this approach—it's just insanely hard to stick to. What you learn from books is always shallow; you really have to take your own falls to figure it out. I saw my friend's 12K profit sharing, but it feels like he still hasn't grasped the real essence. If I had known it would be such a brain drain, I wouldn't have gotten into this mess in the first place. Take-profit and stop-loss lines are basically just a struggle with your own greed. Once the account grows to a certain level, he starts withdrawing—this guy definitely gets it a bit.

Wait, the RSI has already entered the overbought zone. The launch window for this main rally is about to close.
