#数字资产动态追踪 The most painful lesson in the crypto world: rushing in quickly is not as good as lasting longer
The longer you stay in this circle, the more you see through a phenomenon—those with the most explosive account growth are actually the ones with the shortest-term gains.
Coins like $PIPPIN, $ZRC, turning a few thousand into millions in half a year, are not surprising at all. What’s truly rare? Fully securing this money.
Most people's stories are similar: paper gains of fifty or eighty thousand, then a deep correction comes, and the previous profits vanish—some even get liquidated directly. It’s not that the market is bad or the technology is poor; it’s that they are trapped in a deadly psychological trap—knowing they should take profits but refusing to stop.
Many people interpret "rolling over" as constantly placing new orders and adding positions. In reality, it’s quite the opposite: those who can truly roll up their accounts are actually very disciplined—they only strike when the market is clear, and otherwise, they hold back firmly.
Big losses in contracts usually come from these three pitfalls:
**1. Forcing trades without a trend**—opening positions blindly when the direction is unclear is a suicidal move.
**2. Going all-in after small gains**—getting a little profit and then dreaming big, adding more and more, with no risk awareness at all.
**3. Not cutting losses and stubbornly holding on**—refusing to acknowledge losses, hoping for a rebound to save the position, only to lose more.
My own methodology boils down to three principles, which are also followed by those who have successfully rolled their accounts:
**Step 1: Take out the principal immediately after the first profitable trade**
Once the first trade is profitable, withdraw the initial capital immediately. Use only the profits to trade afterward. This mindset is completely different—no fear of losing because the principal is already safe.
**Step 2: The more you earn, the more conservative you should be**
For coins like $ASTER, once floating profits reach the target price, immediately move the stop-loss up to lock in gains. Don’t aim for the highest point, but never let the hard-earned money slip away.
**Step 3: Only trade during explosive trend phases**
Avoid chasing high-frequency trades; focus on the certainty of the trend. If you can’t see clearly, stay out and wait. Better to miss opportunities than to trade blindly.
Ultimately, what separates the good from the bad in crypto is not how many opportunities you catch, but whether you can hold onto them after catching. Patience, taking profits, and knowing when to stop—these are the keys to long-term doubling.
