The experience of crypto trading in 2025 left a deep impression on me. From the moment Bitcoin broke through $100,000 at the beginning of the year, the entire market has been nonstop—altcoins rotating and rising, opportunities coming one after another. Witnessing the madness of this bull market, I also learned a lot.

What is the biggest takeaway? Honestly, risk management. I have always strictly followed stop-loss rules, and because of this habit, I avoided several major drawdowns. It may sound like a cliché, but very few people can stick to it in practice.

Secondly, the way to participate in new projects. Low-threshold involvement in innovative projects and earning airdrops through various activities is a good way to accumulate chips. The key is to have patience and discern the quality of projects.

Regarding trading strategies, my core approach is long-term allocation of BTC and BNB, while short-term using technical indicators like MACD golden cross to catch swing opportunities. Combining long and short-term strategies has been quite effective.

This year’s returns have doubled, but the most important lesson is: don’t let FOMO cloud your judgment. Many chase highs and suffer losses. Patience and waiting for adjustments often allow you to buy at better prices. In 2026, I will continue to explore and hope to grow steadily in the bull market.

BTC-1,12%

BNB-0,46%

The stop-loss rules are fine, but you need to be careful when identifying project quality—I’ve seen too many airdrop project contracts written like a sieve, with integer overflows and permission controls being virtually useless. A single reentrancy vulnerability can wipe out your accumulated chips. Before participating at a low threshold, review the code carefully.

Stop-loss really saves lives. I was forced to develop this habit to survive until now.

Only a minority can truly stick to stop-loss strategies, but what this brother said about "FOMO clouding judgment" is the real truth. His approach to chip distribution is somewhat interesting, but that MACD golden cross... it depends on the market sentiment indicators at the time, not every time it works.

Stop-loss really is a lifesaver. Last year, I lost a wave because I was careless and didn't stick to the rules. Now I've learned my lesson.

⚠️ "Identify project quality"? Honestly, I can't count how many honeypots are hidden behind these two words...

That stop-loss strategy really isn't a scam. I once lost three months' salary because I couldn't bring myself to cut my position. Looking at this guy's experience now, it's still pretty impressive.

whale clustering patterns were unhinged this year... everyone chasing that btc breakout while the real alpha was already priced in by address profiling weeks prior.

The thing about stop-loss is easy to say but hard to do. My bunch of trapped coins is a lesson learned.

Stop-loss is really a matter of survival. So many people around here have gone bankrupt because they couldn't bear to cut their positions...
