Let's be honest: To survive in the crypto market, you first need to endure, fall hard enough, and only then can you truly establish a foothold.

Eight years have passed, and I've seen too many people. Some get rich in two months, only to lose everything in a year. More often, people come in for three months and then disappear without a trace.

What's the real difference?

It's not about being smarter or having more U in your pocket. Honestly, it's about—who can engrain these rules into their mind, wins.

I still remember when I first entered the scene, renting a shabby apartment in Shenzhen with Lao Li. During the day, delivering food; at night, staring at the screen all night. He often told me I had to rely on this to support his family. I used to laugh at him for being naive, but now I realize that was tough.

Those days were so poor that it sounded like a bell. Every day, he kept notes on the trends in a battered notebook, crying from losses while still pondering the relationship between volume and price. The most memorable moment was when ETH fell for nine consecutive days. He stubbornly built a position at the bottom, and the following week, it surged by 40%. That night, we were drinking beer on the rooftop, the wind blowing our clothes, feeling like we could contain all of freedom.

Later, I realized that there’s no real secret to the crypto market; at its core, it’s just rules. But most people simply can't stick to them.

Lao Li’s seemingly clumsy method, I still use it now, and I’ve made money. Here are a few key points:

- When a strong coin drops significantly, dare to buy the dip; if it surges too fast, take profits appropriately;
- Volume increase at low levels is usually a signal; at high levels, get out quickly;
- Don’t open trades casually without clear patterns; only act when there’s a confirmed signal.

Over these eight years, from initial tens of thousands of U to now seven figures, it’s not because I have some extraordinary market prediction ability. Honestly, it’s just repeatedly following these rules—no greed, no gambling, no panic.

Never believe those overnight riches stories. People who truly thrive in the crypto market are those who have endured. If you want to make this your livelihood, you first need to learn how to survive.

I once stumbled blindly in the dark, but now I hold a light in my hand.

The light has been shining all along.
