In 2025, I gained quite a lot in the crypto market. Since Bitcoin hit a new high at the beginning of the year, I have been focusing on the two mainstream assets, BTC and ETH, using a combination of spot trading and grid trading with futures. Honestly, during this wave of market movements, I caught several major rebounds, and my account profits more than doubled.

The biggest insight is simple but also the most crucial—no matter how crazy the market gets, risk control always comes first. The strict rule I set for myself is that a single position never exceeds 20%, and this principle has saved me many times. Think about it, how many people get liquidated because they go all-in? I avoided several huge risk traps by strictly controlling my position sizes.

There was also an unexpected bonus: some platform ecosystem incentive activities gave me many new coin airdrop opportunities, which was a delightful surprise. But if I had to pick the most core element, it’s that strict risk management system—always respect the market, always leave yourself an exit route. That’s the secret to surviving long-term and making money.

Looking ahead to 2026, I will continue to refine my trading strategies in this market. I believe that a steady and prudent approach will always pay off.

BTC-0,52%

ETH-0,21%

20% position cap? cute. that's just risk theater tbh—real money moves happen when governance actually breaks down. most people are farming airdrops like peasants while the protocol itself is quietly vulnerable to structural attack vectors nobody talks about.

Wow, it doubled! This risk control awareness is truly at a player level. --- The 20% position limit trick I’m also using—compared to those who go all-in, I really live longer. --- I also have experience with airdrop surprise bonuses; the platform ecosystem dividends are indeed easy to grasp. --- Exactly right, no matter how bullish the market is, without risk control, it’s a dead end. --- Those who strictly implement risk management probably made a lot last year. --- Friends who go all-in are crying; the conservative types should be the happiest now. --- The phrase "always leave an escape route" hits deep; too many people die on the path of all-in. --- Doubling isn’t hard; the hard part is living long... your approach is correct. --- A single 20% move really saves lives; I’ve seen too many liquidation disasters. --- I missed out on ecosystem incentives; I need to pay more attention to platform movements.

20% position limit, I accept that, but I still envy your rebound opportunity... People who go all-in and get liquidated definitely deserve it, but I feel that being more cautious actually results in steadier gains. I've also experienced airdrop surprises, but I later found out most of them are garbage coins. How about yours? Still want to improve in 2026? Hey, I think the competition will get fiercer and fiercer in the market. Doubling your position is great, but I always lose just a little bit with my holdings... Strict risk control is easy to talk about, but when the market gets crazy, can you really hold on?

This 20% position limit is truly the golden rule. Watching others go all-in is exciting, but then they just get liquidated haha. Airdrops are indeed a pleasant surprise, but the core is still to stay alive. Only by staying alive can there be a chance tomorrow. Doubling the account is pretty good. I'm also on a steady route here. Although the returns aren't as aggressive, the sleep quality is good. Risk control is easy to talk about but really hard to do. Most people fail because of greed. Let's continue to stay steady in 2026. There will still be opportunities for Bitcoin, so don't rush.

The 20% position cap is really tough; how many people go all-in and lose everything in one shot

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: --- Doubling is good, but I feel like luck plays a big role for you... --- I like the 20% position control, those who go all-in are gone --- Airdrop opportunities are really awesome, I also snatched some benefits --- Risk control is the truth, but how many people can actually do it in reality? --- Will 2026 continue with a steady strategy? It seems the market might change again

Risk control is easy to talk about but really hard to do. However, seeing you stick to a 20% position limit and still survive, I really need to learn from that. Going all-in can easily send you back to the Stone Age, but grid trading is indeed stable. Doubling might be a bit exaggerated, but surviving to receive airdrops is also good. You're right, those who respect the market tend to last the longest. If this bull market didn't have risk awareness, it would have blown up long ago. Your approach is quite good.

Alright, this 20% position discipline is correct, but not many people can actually follow through. Those who go all-in have ended up in the hospital; stability is what keeps you alive. Airdrops are indeed comfortable; the feeling of free benefits is just awesome. Risk control will always come first; I have to give you a thumbs up for that. Making 2025 times profit is definitely possible, but be cautious in 2026, brother. Exactly, surviving is a hundred times more important than chasing quick profits. Honestly, grid trading is indeed more moderate and much more reliable than chasing highs and selling lows. I need to remember this approach; too many people are stuck in a gambler's mindset right now. Doubling your investment is not surprising; the key is to avoid liquidation—this is true skill.

Risk control is easier to talk about than to implement; a 20% position limit is truly a lifesaver. Too many people blow up their accounts by going all-in; your system is indeed stable. Airdrop sniping combined with grid trading makes this wave really enjoyable. Doubling your money isn't difficult; the hard part is surviving until next year. Your approach is fine. By the way, how exactly do you exploit those ecological incentives? Share it with us. A conservative strategy can indeed survive in the long run, much longer than those who go all-in. Risk control ≠ no profit; in fact, it proves the opposite.

A 20% position is really the line of defense that has pulled me back from liquidation multiple times... How are those people who went all-in doing now? I'm a bit curious. The language of governance teaches us that risk control is like that never-fading daisy. Airdrop surprises are truly sweet, but they can't compare to the joy of making money while alive. It sounds like I made money, but I really want to hear the stories of those few pitfalls. Spot grid trading combined with strategies—easy to say, but how many sleepless nights does actual operation require? Doubling your returns sounds great, but who dares to believe that these days? The 20% rule sounds simple, but sticking to it is probably the real challenge. Risk control comes first... I used to believe that before liquidation. The most effective tip in the liquidation self-rescue guide is not to be fully invested; your 20% is indeed the wise choice.
