Survive Beyond 90% of Investors, Only Then Can You Earn Millions in Crypto

I have a brother, whom I called Little Cường when we were young, but now everyone respectfully calls him Brother Tâm. This year, he started with just 30,000 yuan in capital, but his account once peaked at 2.46 million. Last weekend, I visited and saw him sitting on the balcony, brewing tea, sipping while watching charts – completely unlike the image of a “crypto enthusiast” that many people imagine. He smiled and said: “Just take it slow and steady, this market is truly a gold mine. When it’s rising, don’t chase more; when it’s falling, don’t panic and cut. The market will naturally turn into an ATM.” It sounds simple, but the truth behind it is extremely harsh: 90% of traders don’t lose because of the market, but because of their own emotions. Emotional Control: The Most Underrated Skill in Crypto Crypto has high volatility, trades 24/7, and information is asymmetric. These three factors constantly challenge investors’ psychology. The most common “traps” include: FOMO (Fear of missing out)Panic during market swingsGreed when in profitOverconfidence after a few winning trades When asked how Brother Tâm avoids these traps, he shared three core principles. Three Rules to Keep Calm in the Market

1. Draw “Three Standard Lines” Before Entering a Trade No matter how hot the market is, before entering a trade, he always draws three lines: Recent 3-day high and lowAverage 5-day lineImportant trading volume thresholds During the crypto ETF frenzy at the end of 2025, many rushed to buy. He only took small positions to “test the waters.” When the market corrected, he almost didn’t suffer any losses. Lesson: Discipline before entering a trade is more important than predicting the trend.
2. Sideways Market: Computers Are the Best Weapon When Bitcoin moved sideways for months, the community was full of cries of “crash.” Conversely, Brother Tâm calmly analyzed and allocated his funds. He believes that: when fear reaches its peak, opportunities are often very close. Lesson: Don’t let the crowd decide for you.
3. Take Half Profit When Gains Exceed 30% When profits surpass 30%, he immediately takes 50% of the position, leaving the rest to follow the trend. This approach helps him avoid a common mistake: watching profits evaporate because he didn’t take profits. Lesson: Making money is hard, but keeping it is even harder. Survival Strategy in a New Market Environment By the end of 2025, crypto ETF approvals are continuously being reviewed and approved, marking a “formalization” milestone for altcoins. Institutional money brings opportunities but also increases short-term volatility. Data shows a high probability of ETF approval for major coins like LTC and SOL. However, Brother Tâm doesn’t chase hot news. He reminded me: “ETF news often causes prices to fluctuate more than actual capital flow. Small investors often get stuck right at the ‘top’ when the news comes out.” His strategy: Position earlyWhen official news is confirmed, gradually reduce exposureAvoid falling into the trap of “buy the rumor, sell the news” Using Tools for Support, Not Dependence Brother Tâm suggested some tools to help manage emotions: Fear and Greed Index: Recognize when the market psychology is in extreme zonesOn-chain Data: Track whale holdings movementsTrade Journal: Record emotional states with each trade to learn from experience But he emphasized: tools are just assistants; the final decision must be made by you. Crypto Practice Is Mindfulness Practice The best trader is not the one using the most complex indicators, but the one who controls emotions best. His daily habits: Only look at charts for 2–3 hours a day to avoid decision fatigueSet predefined stop-loss points and strictly adhereNever chase hot topics, only trade coins he understandsMaintain a balanced lifestyle, step away from the market after trading hours This discipline helps him stay calm during market panic and remain alert when the market is euphoric.
