#数字资产动态追踪 took 6 years to go from a small retail investor to a seven-figure net worth. I finally understand a principle: the crypto world isn't about guessing "up or down," but about "who can see the game rules clearly."
Since 2021, I've experienced account doubling and also saw my holdings cut in half. During the craziest times, I only watched the K-line, trying to buy at the bottom with every trade. It wasn't until my account hit a certain number that I felt no excitement—instead, I calmed down, uninstalled the software for a few days, and realized where my problems lay.
My current strategy has completely changed: the core position is just $BTC, with a maximum of 3 futures trades per week. The rest of the time is spent "waiting"—waiting for the right direction, the right price, the right timing. It’s as simple as it can get.
$BTC is the true "commander." Its direction isn't determined by candlestick patterns but by "power signals" like Federal Reserve movements, large institutional buy-ins, and even statements from political figures. $ETH acts like a forward, able to charge with $BTC , but also prone to mistakes (last year's crash before the upgrade was a painful lesson). As for small coins? They are all followers—if $BTC rises 10%, they might gain 2%; if $BTC drops 5%, they can be cut in half immediately.
The few "reading" skills gained from losses have now become reminders:
See USDT off-exchange premium exceeding 0.5%? Reduce your position quickly—that's smart money running.
$BTC trying to break previous highs but trading volume shrinking? Don't follow the trend; 90% chance it's a trap set by the big players to lure in retail.
Three days before the Federal Reserve meeting minutes are released? Keep your position light—those days are the most volatile, quick-reacting traders cut losses, slow-reactors get swept out.
These are not mystical secrets; they are "market breathing" signals hammered out with real money. The charts in crypto are fundamentally designed for those who "understand the power structure."
Honestly: if you want to survive long in spot markets, don’t believe in the "get rich overnight" myth. Even the worst coins, as long as there's volume, breaking support isn't necessarily bad—what's scary is you sell at 3 a.m., only for it to rebound the next day. When you have no bullets, just play dead, hold your core position, and wait for the big cycle to turn (accumulate in a bear market, sell in a bull market—that's a hard rule).
In the past, I was blindly groping in the dark, but now I can finally see clearly: where the big players are building positions, where traps are buried, and where the real golden pits are—these have become my "market map." The true logic of making money is standing on the same side as those who set the rules.

Wow, this is the real deal, much more reliable than those calling signals.

In plain terms, you can only understand after being cut, and if you've never experienced a decapitation, you can't truly see clearly.

Things that take six years to understand, I only realized after losing everything in three months... It seems this is definitely not a game of guessing rise or fall.

That's true, but what I fear most right now is this kind of "I've achieved enlightenment" narrative... Often, right after saying this, the next cycle ends up being a face slap.

Honestly, I've also experienced the situation where I cut my losses at 3 a.m. and the next day the market rebounds. Truly unbelievable.

It's that same "I've understood everything" narrative again... It sounds pretty right, but honestly, it's just survivor bias. I've seen too many cases of cutting losses at 3 a.m. and then the market rebounds the next day, and quite a few cases the other way around. The real profit logic is probability, luck, and risk control. Don't blow luck up into wisdom.

Damn, this paragraph is really intense. I can totally relate to the experience of the pump the day after the cut-loss night.

Holding onto BTC in spot really earns more than watching the market every day... I was part of the group that was beaten down by candlestick charts two years ago.

Wait, sell off at 3 AM and then pump the next day... Isn't this my daily routine? It's really fucking heartbreaking.
