At 22 years old, I entered the cryptocurrency market, and it has been 8 years now. The years 2023 to 2024 mark a watershed moment in my life.

From an initial 1200U to 800,000U, experiencing the account reaching an eight-figure scale for the first time—such a feeling is not something everyone has experienced. Those who haven't made hundreds of trades might find it hard to understand the fluctuations during this process.

But there are some things worth thinking about early. The most crucial point is: success or failure in the crypto world has never depended on the speed of making money, but on the stability of the account.

In my early years, I also chased after so-called hundredfold coins. Looking back now, I realize—small amounts of money earned by luck are actually just temporary "custody," destined not to last. Sooner or later, it will be paid back in various ways.

The real secret to making an account grow is a simple rule: never allow large drawdowns.

A 50% decline in the account requires doubling to break even—that's the most basic calculation. Occasional profits don't mean you're winning; being able to lock in profits and control drawdowns is the dividing line between retail investors and those who can make money.

When the market declines, does your account also fall? This is the only true test of your real ability. Don't care about face; changing bad habits is nothing to be ashamed of. The real shame is willingly falling into a vicious cycle of "profit then loss."

Controlling drawdowns is a challenge of human nature. People always want to "grab opportunities," but the core reason I have come this far is that I learned to give up opportunities that don't belong to me.

Many people keep asking, "Who is the next hundredfold coin?" This is the most basic trading mindset. I adhere to "account thinking"—focusing on overall profit and loss performance, rather than celebrating the rise and fall of individual coins.

Human weakness is interesting: afraid of missing out, not afraid of being trapped. Always thinking "missing out is a loss," so to avoid missing out, they willingly get caught. This is a typical human flaw.

The core of my steady position growth is very simple: three words—restrain human nature. Quit greed, and your destiny will change.

"The opposite moves with the Dao, the weak use the Dao"—this is a principle I have summarized from years of practical experience: seemingly strong coins should be quietly accumulated; seemingly weak coins should be decisively reduced. If reversal signals appear later, add positions.

To truly make money, don't try to "grab" it; learn to "pick" it. Abandon all uncertain opportunities and patiently wait for signals that guarantee profits.

Before each operation, ask yourself, "How can I avoid losing money?" then consider, "How can I make money?" Take profits and exit the market, so your account can grow steadily like a rolling snowball.

Those who survive and profit in the market are always those willing to take action. The question is, are you ready now?
