Most of the time in trading, you'll see losses. Nine out of ten trades may work against you — that's normal, and it's the nature of this game.

But the key is that one trade. The one that can multiply your investment by 100 times, or even 500 times.

To survive in the early stages, there are two secrets: learn what not to touch, and don't be seduced by every shiny opportunity. Survival itself is already half the victory.

Nine losses and one profit, easy to say; how many can truly survive?

Nine losses to one profit, that's true, but how many actually survive?

nah this math doesn't check out tho... if you're losing 9 outta 10 trades, statistically speaking you're probably getting liquidated before that one 100x even materializes. based on historical data, most retail accounts get wiped around trade #3 or #4. the survival rate alone suggests this narrative is kinda survivorship bias dressed up as wisdom

A game of life and death, surviving just once is a huge win

Nine losses, one profit. To make money, you need to multiply ten times. It's easy to say.

Nine losses and one profit, and you'll win big. The key is not to die before dawn.

Nine losses and one profit. I have backtested this probability distribution. The technical analysis looks fine, but most of the time I still get cut. That one time with 500x? Dream on. I’ve tried a few times, and all results turned into those nine losses. Surviving is half the battle, and that hits hard. I’ve already died several times. Really, don’t touch coins you don’t understand. My lessons are bloodily learned. On-chain data shows that big players are just waiting for us to take the bait. Why do I still need to remind you? Of the ten early survivors, nine are cowards, and one is a lunatic. That’s what they say, but if a 100x opportunity comes next, I still have to go all in. No choice.

Nine losses for one big gain, this logic sounds just like a project team's pie-in-the-sky promise... How many days have passed since someone actually achieved this probability?
