#美联储重启降息步伐 I've seen too many people just stepping into the crypto market, their eyes full of get-rich-quick legends.
They haven't even learned all the candlestick patterns, but their account balance is already diving. This isn't just bad luck—it's not understanding the rules of the game at all.
Here's a piece of advice: start with $100 as your tuition fee. It's not about saving money; it's to force you to respect the market. It's an amount you can afford to lose, but it lets you experience a full trading cycle: the excitement of opening a position, the anxiety of unrealized losses, the struggle with stop-loss decisions. If you can make that $100 last a month without blowing up your account? Congratulations, you've already outperformed 70% of blind all-in players.
Most people don’t lack skill—they trust their instincts too much. But the market never follows your script; it has its own rhythm. You think, “This move is definitely going up,” but then it crashes so hard you question your life; you think, “Just wait a bit and I’ll break even,” but all you get is a forced liquidation notice.
Want to survive in the long run? Ask yourself two questions: Can you strictly follow your preset stop-loss point? After three consecutive losses, can you calmly review and reflect?
If you can’t do these two things, even $100,000 in capital won’t help. The moment you start thinking, “I’ll go all in to win it back,” you’re not trading anymore—you’re gambling your capital against fate. The crypto market swallows not just your money, but also your rationality and patience.
Once you can control your emotions—not chasing highs, not catching falling knives, not stubbornly holding onto losses—then consider gradually increasing your position size. For most people, a $10,000 position is enough; beyond that, it's not about skill but your heart's ability to handle stress.
Stick around long enough and you’ll understand: the real pros aren’t those who get rich and make headlines overnight, but those who can keep their account curve rising through both bull and bear markets. You can’t control the market, but you can control your own actions—and that’s your biggest advantage.

The 100U tuition trick is ruthless. You really have to get clammed by the market once before you wake up.
---
Watching this reminds me of those who disappeared. You really only have the courage to go all-in once.
---
If you can't execute a stop loss, even a hundred thousand can't save you. That's the truth.
---
Not many people can actually stop losses. Of the people I know, I can count them on one hand.
---
"Just wait a little longer and I'll break even"—everyone has said this, and then the account just disappears from the screen.
---
Heart endurance, haha. That's why the truth is I only dare to play with 5000U.
---
People who make money through bull and bear cycles are either insanely lucky or truly enlightened early on.

I agree with the saying "100U tuition fee," but the real problem is that most people can't even make 100U last a month—they start self-hypnotizing just by looking at the K-line charts.
Now the Fed rate cut is here again, and we'll see how many people go all-in just because the "macro environment is good"—they deserve to get hit hard.
