Crypto Survival Rules: Protect the Principal to Win in the End

In the world of cryptocurrency, "Never lose the principal" is the ironclad rule investors must embed into their DNA. Whether it's Bitcoin's (BTC) decade-long thousandfold myth or Ethereum's (ETH) dominance in the ecosystem, the premise of all wealth stories is: the principal is intact, and opportunities are available.

The principal is the "1" in investment, and the returns are the following "0"s.

Market fluctuations are like tides; ups and downs are normal. But a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to break even; if the principal is wiped out, no matter how good the market is, it doesn't matter to you. True investment experts never engage in "gambling-style" full-margin bets but instead lock in risks through diversification, setting stop-loss levels, refusing leverage, and other methods.

ETH and BTC's "Slow Wealth" Philosophy

Bitcoin's scarcity and Ethereum's ecosystem value make them top choices for long-term allocation. But even so, one must beware of the correction risks after short-term surges. Instead of chasing highs and selling lows, it's better to invest regularly and hold, using time to create space—after all, only those who protect their principal can wait for the next bull market ticket.

Remember: The longer you live, the more you can earn.

The crypto world never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is principal and patience. Protect every penny of yours so that it becomes a "bullet" during market lows and a "leverage" during bull markets. Never lose the principal; this is not conservatism but the most basic respect for wealth.
