Don't remind me again today

Behind the 280 million account balance of #数字货币市场回升 , there are 410,000 debts and an 8-year gamble.



The story begins in the hot summer of 2017. The clothing store went bankrupt, owing 410,000, and holding the last 60,000 in hand—either make a comeback or be completely finished.

I locked myself in my rental room and studied the K-line chart for three days. In the end, I made a crazy decision: to invest all 60,000, buying 10 bitcoins at an average price of 6,000.

That winter, Bitcoin skyrocketed. The account balance jumped from 60,000 to 900,000, an increase of 16 times. I stared at the screen, my finger hovering over the sell button, but ultimately didn't press it. I didn't believe the saying that greed kills back then.

The crash in 2018 taught me.

The market has evaporated 75% of its market value, and my 900,000 has shrunk to 220,000. Sitting in front of the ATM late at night checking the balance, with the north wind howling, I finally understand: the money that hasn't been pocketed is just a numbers game.

The turning point occurred in 2019. No longer chasing hot trends or betting on clones, I started doing mining machine hosting and liquidity mining. Steadily and steadily for three years, the account climbed back to 2.8 million.

Some people are curious about how many hundredfold coins I have caught?

My answer is: "In this market, survive first, then talk about making money."

In these years, three iron rules have been established:

**Article 1: The principal is always the lifeline**
In 2021, I bought a new coin, and when it rose to 60%, I immediately withdrew my principal. Later, it dropped 95%, and while others got liquidated, I ended up making a small profit.

**Article 2: Only earn money within your understanding**
Don't touch projects you don't understand, and definitely don't touch the "opportunities" recommended by others. No matter how hot the track is.

Looking at this story really gets me carried away, but to be honest, most people can't learn these "iron rules"; it's just that one moment of greed, and it's all gone. That 6000 yuan Bitcoin is indeed a stroke of genius in hindsight, but you really don't encounter this kind of gambler's luck many times.

To be honest, this trap of gameplay is the difference between those who survive and those who die. In 2018, I also went from over 900,000 to around 200,000, and that feeling... it was truly a social death. But later I found that the greedier you are, the easier it is to get eaten; instead, those who managed to hold onto their principal ended up making a comeback.

Well... I've heard quite a few versions of this rhetoric. Interestingly, true on-chain archaeology tells us that those who last the longest are not relying on an All in, but rather, like appreciating cultural relics, they understand what to keep and what to let go. The principle of capital is indeed a timeless truth.

Going all in for a comeback, the key is that I didn't die in the big dump of 2018; as long as I'm alive, I've already won half.

What the hell, is this story true? Sixty thousand full position Bitcoin still surviving to 2.8 million, I feel like I'm listening to a novel... However, that sentence "survive first and then talk about making money" really hit me, too many people die at this step of greed.

Indeed, I was there during that wave in 2018, feeling the numbers evaporate... I still dream about it now. The phrase "survive first" struck me; too many people think about getting rich overnight and end up dying on the road.

Really, this guy is a living textbook. I was there in that wave in 2017 too, but while he dared to go all in, I was still struggling with whether to leverage, and as a result, I missed out. That said, there aren't many people in the market with that mindset now; most have been directly awakened by the wave in 2022. 2.8 million sounds big, but I think his three iron rules are the real deal, especially the one about "only making money within your understanding." It's a good thing I didn't listen to those people around me back then who were talking nonsense about buying scamcoins...

To be honest, I've heard this trap too many times... Survive first and then make money, sounds good, but where are the people who actually do it? Nine out of ten are still chasing new coins.

I really regret not selling when it was 900,000; I could have been safe by then. However, later on, I steadily made a profit of 2.8 million, and this approach is indeed worth learning.
