#数字资产市场动态 36 years old, 7 years of crypto experience, account net worth breaking eight figures—how I survived



People often ask me: "Are you really making money in the crypto market?"

My answer is: since 2020, my account has surpassed eight figures.

But this is not a story of fighting and winning. On the contrary, I am getting lazier the more I earn.

**A Review of Three Stages**

The first stage took 30 months, growing from 50,000 to 1.8 million. Back then, I stayed up late trading, tried and errored frequently, paying a lot of tuition fees.

The second stage took only 15 months, turning 1.8 million into 9 million. That’s when I started to understand the market’s patterns.

The third stage was the fastest, 6 months from 9 million to 32 million. The key is—I did almost nothing, just held.

Later, I realized: the efficiency of making money and the frequency of operations are inversely related. Don’t be too active; that’s how you survive longer.

**The "Lazy" Trader’s Framework**

I only follow one pattern: strong rally → volume decreases and pulls back (volume halved) → volume breaks through previous high. This is called the N-shape. Enter only when the pattern is in place; exit immediately if it breaks down. Nothing else.

Three iron rules are embedded in my bones:

- Zero leverage, no adding to positions. Leverage is a gambler’s game.
- Stop loss at 2%, take profit at 10%. These numbers are fixed.
- All rules are systematized; emotions are not allowed to interfere.

My market view is extremely simple—just watch the 5-hour K-line and the 18-day moving average. Check once at the close each day; if it meets criteria, place an order; if not, close the software and don’t stare blindly.

**Withdrawal is Crucial**

When I reached 1.8 million, I withdrew the principal. At 9 million, I transferred out 4 million to pursue stable income. The money left in crypto must be money you can afford to lose. That way, you won’t panic.

I’ve also gone through phases of chasing highs and selling lows. Later, I understood: the more anxious you are to make money, the more the market will bite you.

**There’s No Holy Grail**

There’s no black magic in crypto. The only thing you can do is: quit those money-burning habits—like constantly leveraging, listening to all kinds of noise, trading impulsively. Cut these out, and what remains is your true self.

Don’t dream of getting rich quick. Steadily capturing 20 times 10% gains can turn 50,000 into millions.

I’ve blown accounts, endured long sideways markets, and I’m still alive. The bull market’s temperament is still here. What about you?

Are you ready to use "laziness" as your weapon to seize the next opportunity?

I really respect this logic; the more lazy you are, the more money you make—it's truly a truth. --- Holding steady and not moving is really the hardest thing. --- The zero leverage path really hits me; so many people die because they add leverage. --- Turning 50,000 into millions sounds great, but sticking to 20 trades with 10% gains is the real torture. --- The step of withdrawing the principal is too critical; otherwise, even large numbers are just on paper. --- So the core is—resist the urge to move? That's a bit against human nature. --- The simple explanation of the "N" shape pattern, but in practice, how much self-control does it take to execute? --- "Don't trade too frequently" really hit home; I used to trade too often and ended up losing everything. --- I need to memorize the rule of not adding to positions; too many people fall in pyramid schemes. --- Setting a stop loss at 2% and take profit at 10% is fixed... it sounds a bit dreamy but is indeed scientific. --- The key is the mindset; knowing it is one thing, actually doing it is another. --- Surviving after a margin call is not easy, but it also shows what it means to be a survivor—being the winner.

Holding steady and not moving really is the key to winning. It's much smarter than me obsessively watching the market every day and fussing over it.

Holding steady without moving is really the hardest, even more mentally taxing than daily trading.

This guy's right, don't be greedy with your hands; systematic rules are the way to survive.
