#数字货币市场洞察 The Story of an Ordinary Office Worker's Digital Asset Investment Turnaround
I have a friend whose monthly salary is less than 10,000, but through hard work in the crypto market, he managed to save up a year's worth of salary income.
When he first entered the market, he was like most beginners—he couldn't sit still whenever his account was in the red, immediately reducing his position for fear that his profits would shrink; when he was losing, he stubbornly held on, hoping for a rebound to break even. The result was countless sleepless nights, frequent forced liquidations, and the painful feeling of losing everything.
Later, I gave him a set of practical suggestions, the core of which was to regulate his trading rhythm: limit himself to 1-2 trading opportunities per week and not be swayed by market sentiment. Always set a clear loss threshold and cut losses immediately when it is reached; set a position limit at 10% of total funds, add small amounts when profiting, but exit completely when there is abnormal volatility.
At first, he thought this approach was a bit "conservative." I told him, "What you want is a stable additional income stream, not a gambler's overnight fortune."
Three months later, he came to me with eyes shining: "If I keep going at this pace, by the end of the year this money will be enough to make up for my salary gap." Clearly, people like him who have both the discipline to execute and the self-control to manage their emotions will eventually reap rewards in this market.
Are you also considering starting a digital asset side hustle? It's actually not that complicated. The key is to figure out your own trading rhythm, take it step by step, and don't let greed and impulsiveness hijack rational judgment.
Want to diversify your income through trading and open a new window of wealth with digital assets? Ultimately, it comes down to whether you have the patience and discipline for it.

To be honest, stop-loss really is the Achilles' heel for most people, and I've suffered losses myself.
I feel the key is to restrain that gambler's mentality...
Once or twice a week? Somehow that still feels like too much.
This guy really has perseverance—getting results in just three months isn't easy.
What you said about the income gap is making me itch... I need to seriously think about it.
How should I put it, stable returns and getting rich quick are like fish and bear's paw—you can't have both.
A 10% position limit sounds reasonable to me, not overly aggressive.
The story sounds perfect, but in actual practice, very few people can really stay calm.
I need to write down this methodology, it definitely has reference value.
But you didn't mention transaction fees, that's money too.
A year's salary income? I just want to ask, which market rally was that?

Easier said than done. How many people can really hold on without panic selling?

10% position limit? Sounds easy, but that's just typical retail investor self-deception.

To be honest, this theory sounds pretty solid, but how many people can actually stick to it? I’ve seen too many people say they’ll cut their losses, but once they’re stuck in a position, they start fooling themselves—talking about rebounds, fundamentals, and so on... yeah right. I agree with the 10% position sizing rule, but in the end, it all depends on the person. Some people just can’t control themselves, no matter how good the plan is—it’s useless for them.
