Many people in the crypto world dream of getting rich quickly, but few truly understand self-control. To survive and thrive in this market, the first lesson is to learn how to say "no."



I've seen many friends start with 1000U and grow their accounts to hundreds of thousands or even more. Their commonality isn't luck but a complete trading discipline.

My own experience might be helpful to you. Initially, I divided 1000U into 5 positions of 200U each. Every trade was set with stop-loss and take-profit orders, never chasing highs, never holding onto losing positions, and never trading against the trend—only taking opportunities that I could see clearly. This stage is for practice, building muscle memory.

When the account grew from 1000U to over 10,000U, I adjusted my strategy. Risk per trade was controlled within 25% of the total position, then I added positions gradually based on trend judgment to seize the "mid-term dividend." At this point, adjusting your mindset is the hardest because, even with the right direction, greed can creep in.

The real turning point comes afterward: after breaking 200,000U, you must learn to take profits and withdraw regularly. My approach is to withdraw a fixed portion of profits weekly, resisting the impulse to go all-in. Consistent compound growth is more valuable than overnight riches.

Friends who blow up often fall into a few traps: chaotic position allocation, no stop-loss setup, and holding onto positions despite correct trend judgment, only to be washed out by reversals. These are all discipline issues.

I have a friend following this approach, who grew from 1000U to 28,000U in three months, then confidently withdrew everything. That sense of peace is worth more than any floating gains.

Information and circles in the crypto world determine your ceiling. If you're still confused now, welcome to discuss a steady profit path together.

That's right, but most people only learn the taste of restraint after suffering a huge loss.

Well said, but too many people die at the greed hurdle. The margin calls I've seen are basically all due to this problem. Persisting in regular withdrawals really saves lives; the money earned only counts when it flows into your own pocket.

That's so true, discipline is the key, I once suffered from not setting stop-losses. Why do I feel like I'm that friend who got liquidated, haha... This approach is indeed solid, but the key is that some people can really do it. Most people get wiped out because of greed. I agree the most with regular withdrawals; unrealized gains are just illusions. Those who hold on stubbornly after seeing the right direction are all gambling mentality, it's tough.

Well said, discipline really is more important than anything... I just didn't do well in this aspect and lost everything.
