#数字货币市场洞察 To be honest, most people enter the space thinking about getting rich overnight. But I have to tell you a harsh truth—the more you crave quick wealth, the more likely you are to die from your own gambling mentality.
I started with just over 1,000 U, no background, no resources, just an ordinary retail investor. Now my account sits at 85.18 million. It's not luck; it’s because I treated myself like a machine strictly following discipline.
**In the very beginning: Manage position size, practice your feel** I practiced with $ZEC, splitting 1,200U into three parts, putting in just 400U each time. Every trade had strict stop-loss and take-profit lines. I never touched markets I didn’t understand, and absolutely avoided going against the trend. Back then, I had only one principle—only take opportunities I clearly understood.
**Middle phase: Add positions with the trend to capture profits** When trading $AIA, my account had already surpassed 10,000. Each position was controlled at around a quarter of my total funds. When the trend really took off, I would add in batches, focusing on capturing the fattest middle section of the move.
**Later phase: Regular withdrawals to lock in profits** After the $ZEN run, my account broke 200,000. I started making fixed withdrawals every week. Not because I was afraid of losses, but because I was afraid of getting cocky. When you get cocky, your hands start to shake. Staying steady is the key to long-term success.
Most people get liquidated for just three reasons: random position sizing and lack of self-control, no stop-loss and holding all the way down, or getting the direction right but dying halfway through.
A friend who was learning with me recently rolled 800U up to 12,000 and just made a withdrawal. He was so excited he messaged me at midnight saying he couldn’t sleep. Moments like that are truly rewarding.
I mainly research ETH and BTC contract and spot strategies. If you also want to systematically learn how to manage risk and spot opportunities, we can share and discuss together. I’m not teaching you to gamble, I’m teaching you how to survive longer.

Honestly, every time I see these stories of people going from small retail investors to big players, it always reminds me of those days when I was struggling. Discipline is something that's easy to talk about but damn hard to actually stick to.

These numbers are a bit unbelievable. 8.518 million from 1,000U? How many years would it take to grow that? No matter how many times I hear it, I still haven't seen anyone actually come out and show some account proof.

This stop-loss line is set so tightly, it’s annoying just hearing about it, but there are indeed people who have survived up to now relying on this.

Damn, I really admire this kind of discipline with stop-loss and take-profit. But to be fair, someone who can stick to it for so long is truly one in a million.

What you said is absolutely right, discipline is key. However, the jump from 1000U to 8.518 million... I’m still a bit unsure if those numbers are real. But the logic makes sense—position control and stop-loss are indeed the fundamentals for survival.

Seriously, the scariest thing about seeing this kind of stuff is wanting to try it yourself... but your account balance speaks for itself. Discipline really is the pass to surviving in the long run.
