#数字货币市场洞察 36 years old, from Zhejiang, now in my sixth year living in Beijing. I own two properties in Beijing: one for my family, one for myself. How did I build up this wealth? All from six years in crypto, turning a little over 200,000 into an eight-figure sum by grinding it out.
You might not believe it, but I started out as just another retail investor. My initial capital of 200,000+ shrank to just 50,000 at one point, and everyone around me told me to quit. But I'm the stubborn type—once I picked this industry, I stuck to it.
My approach is actually pretty simple: I don’t chase trending projects, I don’t use flashy strategies, I just stick to one compounding method. During the wildest bull run, my core position multiplied 400 times in four months, and my account hit 40 million. I barely slept during that period, glued to the charts every day.
I’ve been trading full-time from home these past few years, and I’ve printed out all the rules I’ve summarized for myself, sticking them everywhere—beside the computer, by my bed. It’s not for show; I’m genuinely afraid I’ll lose my head one day.
Honestly, there’s no secret to making money in crypto. Mindset is a hundred times more important than knowing technical indicators. When your capital is small, you need to take it even more seriously. Catch one big market move a year, that’s enough—never go all-in impulsively.
If you can’t keep up cognitively, whatever you make, you’ll end up giving back. My advice: start with paper trading to get a feel, then work on your mindset when real money is on the line. If you’re going mid- to long-term, always keep enough liquidity—sell some when it rises, buy some when it drops. For short-term trading, focus on high-volume coins. If you pick the wrong direction, cut your losses immediately—don’t hesitate.
They say in crypto, seven lose, two break even, one makes money. The ones who break that curse are simply those who stick to their own trading system and don’t get swayed by outside noise. Luck might help you make one run, but if you want to survive long-term, you need discipline.

What this guy said makes perfect sense, but that 400x story feels more like a tale to me.
When it comes to real money, you have to stick to discipline—nothing works better.
Mindset really is a big deal. I used to not take it seriously.
When will we see another run like that again?
Rolling contracts sounds simple in theory, but it's a whole different ballgame in practice.
No matter how great other people’s success stories sound, nothing beats staying alive yourself.

400x? Dude, how lucky do you have to be for that?
I believe the part where he hit 50,000, but is this 400x for real?
You're absolutely right, but when it comes to execution... Everyone knows mindset is important, but actually doing it is hell.
Two houses is definitely impressive, but I always feel like I’ve heard too many stories like this.

It's the same old rhetoric again, I've heard it too many times.
Talking about mindset after a 400x gain is really just hindsight.

A 400x return, I’m thinking, how much of that is just pure luck...
Print out the "survival rules" and stick them by your bed? Ha, I just want to ask, what do you say when you actually lose big?
"Mindset is everything"—not wrong, but it’s a lot easier said than done.
Sounds nice, but it’s basically just all-in again and again, right?
I’ve heard too many stories like this—how do they usually end?
The odds of going all-in and hitting 400x are like winning the lottery. Don’t get brainwashed by these stories, everyone.
Being stubborn can actually be an advantage in crypto, but it also makes it easy to get eliminated.

400x in four months, that takes some serious luck, haha
---
Everything you said is right, but how many people can actually do it?
---
Posting survival rules by the bed, this guy really treats crypto as his career
---
I lost big time during that all-in phase, now I just focus on steady compounding
---
Falling behind in understanding is real, I’m a living example of that
---
Mindset really is harder than skills, that really hit home for me
---
Seven lose, two break even, one wins—let’s see how I end up being ruled by probability
---
Cutting losses is the hardest, always hoping for a rebound, but just end up deeper in
---
Practicing with a demo account is a good tip, that’s exactly what I was missing at the start
---
Rules are rules, but no matter how many times you repeat them, some people still don’t listen

It's another one of those "I made money while you guys are just suckers" stories. Kind of tired of hearing it, man.

Damn, this guy is really ruthless. He turned 50,000 into 40 million, I have to kneel.
I really relate to being stubborn—it just makes you prone to self-doubt.
Is it really 400x though? Why am I always just a little short?
Mindset > technique, that line really hit me. Every time I get cocky, I lose.
Where are all the people who went all-in with full positions now? I really want to ask.
I have to try his sticker survival method too, otherwise I keep getting dragged along by the market.
The suggestion to use a simulation account is pretty good—smarter than me just going all-in and hoping to make it.
