Seeing someone lose up to $2000 in ETH and want to quit the scene, actually this $2000 is more of a turning point.
A friend I know also went through a similar dilemma. He used to trade based on intuition—buying on the rise, selling on the fall, losing two or three thousand a day, his account was like paralyzed. The turning point came after he adjusted his trading mindset.
The key points are actually these:
If you don’t understand the market clearly, first close all positions and don’t rush to act. Wait when the market isn’t rising, and don’t enter impulsively when it’s not falling. This seems simple, but most people can’t do it.
Control your position size strictly. Invest no more than 400U per trade, so even if you’re wrong, the loss remains within an acceptable range. Don’t underestimate stop-loss—set a proper stop-loss, and your mindset can stay stable, avoiding stubbornly holding onto illusions of recovering losses.
Reflect after each trade. What did you do right, where did you make mistakes? Over time, your thinking becomes clearer, and your mindset becomes more stable. There are no shortcuts in this process; it’s about gradual refinement.
Stick to this rhythm and discipline. In two months, his account grew from 2000U to 90,000U. It sounds incredible, but when broken down, it’s about risk control, following rules, and continuous accumulation.
Maybe now you only have a few thousand U left and feel hopeless. Turning the tide won’t happen overnight, but taking one step at a time can really lead to success. The crypto market isn’t short of opportunities; what’s scarce are those who are patient, disciplined, and able to control their emotions.
Don’t rush, execute steadily, and keep your mindset clear. Don’t fear slow progress—fear giving up halfway. The next market opportunity is right here; it’s all about whether you’re prepared.

That's quite right; the problem is that most people simply can't do it.

Honestly, 2000U is really a watershed moment, it depends on whether you choose to exit or reflect. The case with my friend is actually a matter of mindset and discipline.

You're right, but the only concern is that you might understand these principles but fail to apply them. I also have friends who stubbornly hold on, insisting on breaking even, only to get deeper and deeper into trouble. The key is discipline; sticking to stop-loss is really the hardest part for most people.

Honestly, 2000U is actually a blessing; many people die at the moment they refuse to admit their mistakes.

ngl the 2000U bottom thing hits different when you've actually watched difficulty epochs reset and seen miners pivot their entire rigs... discipline beats luck every single time, that's just network consensus we all agree on
