#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 Six years in the crypto world have taught me one thing: the real killer isn't the candlestick chart, but the uncontrollable greed after making money.



This market is constantly creating legends of doubling your investment, but how many people can truly survive the sweet poison of huge profits? I've seen too many stories of accounts skyrocketing and then going to zero overnight.

Last year, a fan reached out to me, with only $1,900 left in his account, almost desperate. I decided to give it a try, but set strict rules—divide the position into 8 parts, with a maximum of 12% per coin; take profits immediately when they come; cut losses at the stop-loss point without negotiation.

Over the next 22 days, we executed with robotic precision: daily pre-market analysis, planned operations during the day, and immediate review at any retracement. The account grew from $3,800 to $76,000. Nearly 20 times the profit—despair turned into hope.

But as the money grew, so did the person. He still said he listened to me, but in his mind, there was only one thought: go all-in again, to finally achieve freedom.

And that’s how the nightmare began.

On the 25th day, he secretly invested his entire position into a certain altcoin, without even setting a stop-loss. By the time I realized, the account had shrunk by 51%. I told him to cut the position immediately, but he refused, still hoping for a rebound.

Three days later, the coin's price plummeted in a waterfall decline, leaving only $8,000 from the original $76,000.

He broke down and blamed me for not stopping him. I chose to remain silent then, and ended my support—because I realized that the most terrifying thing in the crypto world isn't losing money itself, but that after tasting huge profits, people's respect for the market disappears.

I saved that chat record, and whenever I feel like rushing in, I pull it out and read it again.

There are plenty of people who can double their money in this market, but very few can stick to their original intention and discipline in the face of huge profits. Turning around is never about exploding account numbers; it's about still following the rules, keeping a clear head, and not being swallowed by greed after making money.

The trading discipline and risk control logic I’ve refined through practical experience are now complete. The question is, do you dare to truly follow the rules?

76,000 dropped to 8,000... this is the consequence of not setting a stop loss.

To be honest, this story sounds a bit familiar... That's how the crypto world is, making money is actually when you start to self-destruct.

This story has been heard a hundred times, but that saying still holds true — sticking to discipline is really much harder than knowing how to operate.

76,000 U down to 8,000 U, this is the consequence of having no discipline.

After reading this story, I just want to say, once greed takes over, there's really no turning back.

This story really hits home. 22 days from 76,000 to 8,000, it's just painful to watch... Human nature is amplified a hundred times in the crypto world.

To be honest, I've heard this story too many times... but every time I watch it, it still hits me. That fan went from 1900U to 76,000 and then dropped back to 8,000. This rollercoaster of mentality is really intense. Greed, you know, is truly more destructive to a trader than losing money.

Look at this story... It makes some sense, but I just can't do it anyway. Greed is really hard to suppress.
