The hurdle of turning thirty, I set a rule for myself: don't overthink matters of fate, just master the trading game first.
Many people ask me how I went from a few hundred to tens of thousands. Honestly, there's nothing mysterious about it; it's just about taking it step by step. I didn't believe at first that 500 yuan could multiply twenty times until I actually did it myself. It took three months, treating each trade as a whetstone, cutting away a bunch of naive ideas.
**First Stage, I’m practicing courage**
Split 500 yuan into 5 parts, each 100 yuan, and track each separately. Mentally say, "This 100 yuan, pretend it doesn't exist, maybe drink a few drinks with the profit," which actually relaxed me. Focus only on Bitcoin, turn off news and technical analysis first, and use 20x leverage to hold tight—don't touch even double that. Each trade only uses 50 yuan, the remaining 50 yuan as a safety fund.
Take profit at 10%, close the position immediately; cut losses at 5%, sell off. Slowly but surely, over three months, I grew 500 yuan into 3,000 yuan. The pace was painfully slow, but every yuan was solidly earned.
**Getting into the snowball rhythm**
When I reached 3,000 yuan, I started adding positions but never loosened discipline. Always only use half of the account for trading, and when profits are made, reinvest the new profits into the main position, redistributing the holdings. After two consecutive losses, I cut back to the original point and start over.
The most torturous thing isn't watching K-line charts, but watching others go all-in and double their money while I have to use a calculator. When I want to add to my position for a big push, I look back at my previous stop-loss records—those painful lessons are more powerful than any motivational quote.
The market never waits for the smart people; it only waits for those who know when to stop.
**When a big trend arrives, I dare to go all in**
When the market starts moving, and I have some profits as a cushion, I increase my position to 70%. The take-profit target is relaxed to 30%, but the stop-loss is tightened even more. Staring at the K-line, clenched fists, I hold through the pullback, but I never cut losses before hitting the stop-loss, and I never run before hitting the take-profit. In this wave, my 250,000 yuan shot straight to 1,000,000 yuan.
**The hardest part is never choosing the right coin**
People often ask me how to make money in the crypto world. Honestly, the hardest part isn't finding the next hundredfold coin, but whether you can "endure"—whether you can resist FOMO, whether you can stay calm during a crash.
Stop thinking about bottom-fishing for quick riches all day. First, control your hands to make sure you won't flip the table before a big trend even starts. As long as the car is still running, you're the driver, not a passenger. The abyss is always there. Whether you want to join me in coming ashore is your choice.

well actually™ the whole "discipline over timing" narrative is empirically sound but fundamentally misses the risk model here. 20x leverage on a $100 position isn't "practicing patience," it's just variance engineering with survivor bias baked in. show me the formal proof this strategy outperforms basic dca over the same timeframe without cherry-picking the bull run entry point.

Listen, buddy, the key is to be able to resist temptation. I truly understand this.

nah the real edge here is just capital utilization discipline tbh... most people blow up because they're optimizing for narrative instead of basis points. 20x leverage on conviction? that's just unforced error territory waiting to happen.

Honestly, discipline is really a hundred times harder than choosing coins. I only realized this after suffering significant losses myself.

Holding back is a hundred times harder than choosing coins, this really hits home.

Basically, it's about mindset, nothing else. Discipline is more valuable than anything else.

It sounds like it's about risk management, but the logical flaws are quite obvious—using 20x leverage to take a position is essentially playing with fire; it's just that you guessed the right direction. It's completely different from the rigor of auditing code for bugs.

That's right, it's this "endure" character... I was also overwhelmed by FOMO last year, now I've learned to be smarter.

It sounds like a story, but real trades are never that smooth...
