Having navigated the crypto world for 8 years and experienced countless liquidations, I finally realized a simple yet profound truth: making money isn't about talent or insider information, but about whether you can control your own hands.

I call this method the "Five Cuts to Cut Off Gambling Heart." From an initial capital of 8,000 yuan to financial freedom today, this system has saved me.

**First Cut: Divide Your Capital**

No matter how much money you have in your pocket, split it into five parts. For example, if you have 10,000 yuan, make five portions of 2,000 each. Keep one on the exchange, and put the remaining four into cold wallets. Want to make impulsive trades? Then go find a USB drive first. Just the process of doing this alone can help you calm down.

**Second Cut: Only Trade Spot**

At this stage, treat futures contracts as nonexistent. Focus on coins with a market cap in the top hundred and daily trading volume over 1 billion yuan—buy when they fall, and never chase highs. Put that 2,000 yuan in and truly feel the market fluctuations. If you can stay calm through this process, then you're qualified to talk about making money.

**Third Cut: Buy the Dip**

After entering the market, if it drops 10%, add another position. If it drops further, keep adding, but with a red line—no more than three times. This way, your average cost decreases, and a 5% rebound can basically get you back to break-even. If it drops further, admit defeat—losses won't exceed 6%, at least your life is still safe.

**Fourth Cut: Cut Greed Immediately**

Once your unrealized profit reaches 10%, sell half immediately. If 2,000 yuan rises to 2,200, take out over 1,000 yuan, leaving just 100 yuan profit to let it run. No matter if it rises or falls afterward, you've already secured a 5% net profit, and your mindset becomes invincible.

**Fifth Cut: Let the Money Make Money**

Withdraw that portion from your account, form a new 2,000-yuan unit, and continue looking for the next opportunity—repeat the cycle of "spot trading → buy the dip → take profit." As long as you stick to it, rolling over more than ten times a year is no problem. Doubling your capital is normal; if the market is strong, several times over is not impossible.

**Sixth Cut: Don't Be So Stupid**

Check the market at a fixed time each day, and only place one order. Want to trade more? Go run five kilometers first. Channel that dopamine rush into exercise, and don't let the K-line lead you around by the nose.

**Strict Rules:**

Don't chase hot trends, don't go all-in, and don't add to positions more than three times—these are the bottom lines.

Before each trade, write a 20-word reason. If you can't, then don't make a move.

Force yourself to withdraw 20% of your capital each month into fiat currency—secure your gains. This is self-protection.

In the crypto world, opportunities and market movements are never lacking; what’s missing is someone who can turn those opportunities into real money. Remember these five steps, and you'll realize one thing: making money isn't that complicated. The real challenge lies in whether you can discipline yourself.
