After years of navigating the crypto world, there's a harsh reality: 99% of losses are not caused by market movements, but by your own greed and impulsiveness.

You might be familiar with coins like $ZEC, $ZKP, $FLOCK. But that's not the point. The key is—when you don't have much in your account, the most deadly habit is obsession with watching the market and trading on impulse. What truly changes an account are not those small daily swings, but the one or two critical big opportunities in a year.

Keep some cash on hand. It's not just for replenishing positions. More importantly, cash helps you stay rational.

If you don't understand a coin, don't touch it. You can practice on a demo account as much as you like, but once real money is involved, your mindset can collapse instantly. Before placing an order, think through the logic thoroughly. Understand it clearly before acting, or else wrong decisions will keep coming.

Here's a counterintuitive point: when positive news erupts, that's often the time to get out quickly. When everyone is scrambling to buy in, that's the riskiest moment. A gap up doesn't equal opportunity; it often signals a sell-off.

Before holidays? Be cautious. Liquidity drops, prices can become uncontrollable. Instead of obsessively watching the market to the point of breakdown, it's better to relax and enjoy the holiday.

Mid-term traders shouldn't dream of overnight riches. When prices fall, buy slowly; when they rise, sell in batches. Keep some cash in hand to stay calm. Short-term traders should focus only on coins with high trading volume. Coins with no volume? Entering them makes it hard to exit smoothly—that's a trap.

Coins that are slowly declining often give you reaction opportunities. But if there's a sudden sharp drop followed by a rebound, don't be greedy. Enter quickly, exit quickly—that's the way to survive. Being too greedy increases the risk of a crash.

What is the essence of stop-loss? It's the courage to admit mistakes. As long as your principal is alive, opportunities will never disappear.

You don't need to learn too many technical indicators; mastering a few core ones is enough. Complexity doesn't mean effectiveness; it can just confuse you.

One last word—when it comes to crypto, in the end, it's just two words: restraint. Restrain greed, resist the impulse for frequent trading, and avoid the fantasy of getting rich overnight. Only those who can do this will be able to walk steadily in the market and not be swept away by waves.
