#数字资产动态追踪 Newcomers in the crypto world often say: "It's really exhausting in this market..."



It reminds me of a story from last year. Xiao Li's family has two children going to college. The younger brother received his acceptance letter, and the whole family was very happy. But the sister sat by the window, staring at the balance in her account—her brother needed $20,000 for tuition, and she had only saved $10,000. That night, she asked me if she should jump into the market and try her luck.

I didn't let her act impulsively. Instead, I reviewed with her the lessons learned from falling in the crypto space, and we summarized a set of principles. Basically: **Don't gamble with your life, eat with discipline**.

I call this system the "Five-Step Steady Growth Method":

**Step 1: Lock in the principal**
Only trade 20% of your total funds; keep the remaining 80% like a bank vault—don't touch it. This way, even if your judgment is wrong, you won't lose everything.

**Step 2: Choose certainty**
Only trade the markets you truly understand. Don't chase hot trends or follow the crowd. Better to miss 100 opportunities than to make one wrong move.

**Step 3: Quick take profit and stop loss**
Close the position once you gain 5%, and cut losses at 3%. It sounds greedy, but compound growth is built on this principle.

**Step 4: Use profits to generate more profits**
Reinvest the gains from each trade into new trades, while the principal remains untouched. This is the true "snowball effect."

**Step 5: Daily reconciliation and reflection**
Whether you gain or lose, understand the reasons behind it. Only then can you gradually optimize your decisions.

Xiao Li followed this approach, and in seven days, her account grew from $13,000 to $52,000. She said her eyes welled up at that moment, and she immediately withdrew her tuition fee, leaving some for living expenses.

Later, she told me she finally understood the underlying logic of the crypto space: **This market never rewards gamblers, nor favors geniuses; it only recognizes those who can control themselves and execute consistently**.

The crypto market changes every day, but the principles never change. Emotional traders become greedy when prices rise and panic when they fall, and they always end up losing. Those who can stay calm amid volatility and exercise restraint in opportunities are the ultimate winners in the market.

If you're still confused, ask yourself one question: Are you waiting for the wind to come, or are you learning to create your own wind?

Starting today, treat discipline as your superpower.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds quite solid, but I don't know how many people can really stick with it.

To be honest, discipline is real, but going from 13,000 to 52,000 in seven days... I still find it hard to believe.

Seven days from 13,000 to 52,000? That number sounds a bit unbelievable... But that 20% principal method is indeed fierce, extremely stable.

Honestly, Xiao Li's story sounds too unbelievable... quadrupling in seven days? I feel like it's a bit exaggerated.
