#ETH价格走势解读 has been struggling in the encryption market for ten years, and I have experienced three complete liquidations, each time bringing my account balance to zero.
The first time was in 2016, I believed in so-called "insider information" and heavily invested in a small cryptocurrency, but the project team ran away, and I lost 80% of my principal in two weeks. The second time was even worse; I used 5x leverage to chase a rebound at the end of a bull market, but unexpectedly, the market took a sharp downturn and I was caught off guard by the forced liquidation. The worst was the third time; I even borrowed money from friends to try to buy the dip, but the market continued to plummet, and not only did I lose my principal, but I also ended up with a mountain of debt.
After that liquidation, I didn't engage in trading for a whole six months. During the day, I felt like a walking corpse at work, and at night, I couldn't sleep, repeatedly reviewing my trades, wondering where things went wrong. Later, I realized: it wasn't bad luck, but my own greed, always thinking about getting rich overnight.
After re-entering the market in 2019, I set a few strict rules for myself: a single position should not exceed 15% of the total funds, I would never use leverage over 2x, and I must set a stop-loss level before opening a position. In the beginning, it was quite tough; watching others flaunt their profits made me itch, but I gritted my teeth and persevered, and my account began to grow steadily instead. Sometimes I only made 5-8% in a month, but accumulated over time, it was much stronger than those big ups and downs I had before.
My strategy is very simple now: I take my profit when I reach my target, and I cut losses when I hit my stop-loss line, never dragging my feet. Although I haven't made any huge profits in these past few years, at least I can sleep soundly every night and don't have to get up in the middle of the night to watch the market. In the cryptocurrency world, surviving is much more important than making quick money.

Wow, surviving three times of getting liquidated and still able to tell the story, what a strong mindset that must be!

Listening to you, I finally understand what true sucker wisdom is. Those who brag about getting rich overnight every day, nine out of ten end up in debt.

Borrowing money to buy the dip during that time was truly amazing. I really didn't expect anyone to dare to play like that. However, that being said, being alive is indeed more valuable than making money.

It sounds like it's not a matter of luck, but rather the price of greed.

Borrowing money from a fren for Margin Replenishment was really outrageous, this is a typical case of "late-stage greed disease" haha.

This story sounds a bit painful, but really, being alive is the real victory.
