#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 I know a friend who works on a construction site, braving the elements every day, and only takes home five or six thousand yuan a month. His life was pretty mechanical—work, get off work, sleep, repeat.



Later, he got into the crypto space, and within two months, the extra digits in his account matched an entire year’s hard-earned wages.

At first, he operated just like a typical newbie: panicking and selling when he saw green, stubbornly holding on when he saw red. He’d get excited when he made a few dozen bucks, but when he lost hundreds, he always thought, “If I wait a bit longer, I’ll break even.” His principal kept shrinking due to his emotional trades.

I had a talk with him, didn’t say anything profound, just one sentence: “Go slower, be steadier, that’s the only way you can last in this market.”

Then I gave him three hard rules:
First, only make a few trades each day—don’t chase pumps or dumps.
Second, keep your position size within a comfortable range—absolutely never go all in.
Third, if you picked the wrong direction, admit it immediately—don’t drag it out.

When he first started following these, he kept complaining that he was making money too slowly. I reminded him, “This isn’t about getting rich overnight, it’s about making life a bit easier.”

Two months later, he messaged me saying that with this approach, his account had already grown to a year’s worth of salary. You could hear the sense of security in his tone.

The people who truly make it in this market aren’t the lucky or the bold, but those who can control themselves and stick to their principles.

A lot of people treat trading like gambling, but what really changes your life isn’t betting—it’s methodology.

To be honest, stories like this make me laugh. Turning a construction site job with a monthly salary of five or six thousand into an annual salary? Sounds great, but how many people can actually stick to those three rules? Most people just can't control themselves.

To be honest, this set of rules really has something. Not everyone can endure those days of "slow gains"; most people end up blowing themselves up before their money even doubles.

That's true, mindset and discipline are key. Those dreams of getting rich overnight disappear as soon as you wake up; it's much more comfortable to be steady and pragmatic.

Hmm, this story sounds kind of familiar. Everyone around me is like this too—they make a little money at first and think they've figured it all out, then go all-in and lose it back. It's honestly hilarious.

risk management separates survivors from liquidation statistics... most won't admit their leverage ratio got them wrecked tho

Absolutely right, discipline is something that needs to be developed from day one; otherwise, once you start slipping, there's no turning back.
