When I first got into BTC back in the day, I was just like most newbies, with only one thought in my mind: "If others can double their money, why can't I?"

I held onto my $3,000 capital and went all in, holding on stubbornly until liquidation.

When I got liquidated, I'd just lie to myself: "I'll go all in and make it back next time."

The outcome with ETH was predictable—one pitfall after another, my account balance dropping like a rock.

Later, I finally realized it wasn't bad luck—it was that I simply didn't have the skills to make that kind of money.

Trying to play contracts with a gambler's mindset? If you manage to walk away in one piece, you should count yourself lucky.

One day, I forced myself to stop and review every trade I made.

It was only then, with SOL, that I discovered: liquidation wasn't an accident, it was inevitable.

No logic, no system, and yelling "risk is controllable" a hundred times doesn't help.

Contracts were never about gambling, but about entering and exiting with rhythm.

The real danger has never been the market itself but your mindset breaking first.

I started to drill down on the Bollinger Bands indicator—not just drawing a few lines, but studying order book structure, false and real breakouts, what it means for the bands to narrow or widen, when to confirm a pullback...

The first time I used it to catch a 30x return, that sense of security was totally different from before—I finally understood what it meant to "read the market."

But no matter how good your method is, if your mindset isn’t stable and your position sizing is a mess, you'll still get liquidated.

You need to ask yourself a few questions:

Are you opening trades based on logic, or on emotion?

Are you using a trading system, or just gambling on direction?

If you're too lazy to even set a stop-loss, are you really here to make money, or just chasing the thrill of liquidation?

Too many people say "my fate is in my own hands, not the market's,"

But in reality? Every day, they let the market toss them around.

Now I trade far less frequently, but every trade is crystal clear: where's my stop-loss, what's the risk-reward ratio, how much exposure am I taking?

That's the only way to survive and snowball your gains.

Don't talk to me about getting rich overnight.

There’s no shortage of get-rich-quick legends in crypto, but what’s really rare are the tough ones who survive and grow stronger step by step.

Bro, don’t be impulsive, don’t gamble with your life.

Play steady, doubling your money isn’t a dream—lasting long is the real win.
