Everyone entering the crypto world harbors a dream of getting rich quickly. Nine out of ten are aiming for a one-night turnaround.



But have you noticed, those who actually make money are never reckless gamblers. They are steady—steadier than you might think—understanding market trends, knowing when to take profits, and resisting temptation.

My account has now grown to tens of millions, but honestly, that’s not due to any special talent. I started with just a few thousand U in capital, similar to most retail investors—no background, no insider info, relying solely on not reckless trading and enduring market lessons time and again to get to where I am today.

The key is these three words: don’t gamble recklessly.

Starting with 1000U, I divided it into five parts, trying each with 200U. Every trade has a stop-loss, no chasing rallies, no counter-trend trading, no resisting trades. I remind myself every day: I’m here to make money, not to risk my life. If I don’t understand the market, I stay out; once I understand, I gradually and steadily enter.

Only when my account reaches 10,000U do I start adding positions—provided the trend is confirmed, not just a gamble. That’s when I truly understand: the secret to making money is riding the trend, not stubbornly fighting against it.

When I reach 200,000U, the first thing I do isn’t celebrate, but withdraw profits. I lock in weekly gains, turning paper profits into real cash. It’s not about fearing losses; it’s about avoiding complacency—because if you get complacent, the market will teach you a harsh lesson.

Last year, a brother of mine followed my advice, growing from 800U to 12,000U. On the day he withdrew, he sent me over a dozen voice messages, his voice trembling. He said: “This is the first time I realize, in the crypto world, it’s not just about getting wiped out.”

I understand retail traders’ pain points best: it’s not the losses that scare them most, but the lack of direction. Exploring alone makes it easy to be emotionally hijacked; the dark night is full of pitfalls. But with the right mindset and proper rhythm, you don’t need to gamble your life away. As long as you master the basics—position sizing, stop-loss, riding the trend, locking in profits—that’s enough.

The reason I’ve gone from a few thousand U to now is never due to talent or luck, but the steady discipline of “not reckless trading”—knowing when to enter and when to retreat with clarity. I used to drift aimlessly in the turbulent crypto waves; now I hold the steering wheel firmly. Many want to understand this logic, but it’s actually not that complicated.

That's right, but the hardest part is truly avoiding reckless gambling. Most people forget after reading.

It sounds good, but there are actually very few people who can truly stick to this logic.

Sounds good, but I still don't trust this explanation.

That's right, too many people want to get rich overnight and end up going all-in. I've seen too many cases like that. Stability is the key, I truly agree with that. I also use the split-position stop-loss strategy, which is much more reliable than reckless gambling. Honestly, the hardest part is controlling that restless heart. If you do a good job of locking in profits, you won't be broken through by retracements.

That's right, the key is to stay steady and not mess around. Really, those who dream overnight end up as the little guys. The strategy of position splitting and stop-loss really works; I'm also trying it. It sounds like a motivational speech, but some people do make money this way. However, most people simply can't do it; they can't get past their emotions.
