#美国政府关闭 The harshest truth about the crypto market? It's not that you can't make money, it's that even if you do, you can't hold onto it.

My account once peaked at 600,000 USD. At that time, I only had one thought: break a million. But what happened? A wave of correction, and it dropped to 200,000. During that period, I pretended everything was fine during the day, but at night, I couldn't close my eyes without seeing that green waterfall, stabbing at my eyelids like a knife.

Even more brutal was one of my buddies. During the 2020 market rally, he started with 5,000 USD and doubled it to 100,000 in half a year. We all advised him: "Bro, take some profits out." What did he say? "What's the rush? Let's talk about 500,000. We're not there yet." You all know what happened later—the market collapsed, his 100,000 shrank to 30,000, and in the end, he had less than 500 USD. That day, his mouse hovered over the withdrawal button, but he didn't click. And after that? He uninstalled the app.

Real experts in this circle never eat the last piece of meat.

I've now set a strict rule for myself: take 30% when doubling, and transfer it out; when tripling, cut half and lock it into a bank account. It's not cowardice; it's understanding—no matter how beautiful the numbers on the screen look, if they’re not in your pocket, they’re just air.

Every year, there are market opportunities every month. But if the principal is gone? The game is over.

Making money is a skill, but being able to hold onto it is the real skill.
