#数字资产动态追踪 Ten years in the crypto world: After 10 margin calls, I finally figured it out—surviving is the real wealth.



When I was young, I was just a gambler—

I was itching to double my earnings, and I would go all in at the slightest wind, afraid of falling behind.

And then? Chasing highs and selling lows, my account shrank, and margin calls became routine.

I remember that night clearly, my balance turned to zero, the screen was all red—

That’s when I realized: it’s not the market itself that cuts me, but my own greed gnawing away at my sanity.

When I started over, I sat down and reviewed honestly—

Can a small account survive? Don’t just rush in blindly, learn to wait!

In a whole year, I only caught two real upward trends, enough to last three years!

While others go all-in on bets, I am cautious like a miser, only choosing high-probability trades.

Here’s how I now allocate my positions:

① Main position aligned with the big trend, eating meat without wasting a single bone;

② Secondary position for swing trading, grabbing some wool when I can;

③ Short-term only trading active coins, obscure altcoins? That’s the stage for whales, I won’t go there.

Made a mistake? Cut it! Lost money? Admit defeat!

The principal is still there, I am still alive, and one day the bull market will come.

"How can I turn things around?" This is the most asked question.

My answer is straightforward: "Learn to survive first."

The market doesn’t lack fearless people; it lacks those who can endure the cycle.

Are you feeling anxious now?

Don’t be afraid, I crawled out of hell, holding a lamp—

This lamp was forged from nights of margin calls and insomnia.

The lamp is on, do you want to follow?

The core rule is simple: if you want to survive, turn off your emotions and weld your discipline shut.

The truth is, being alive is indeed more valuable than anything else... Ten liquidation events in ten years sounds unbelievable, but this is how the crypto world can really wear people down.

Bro, that really hits home. Living is truly an art. I used to be the kind of idiot who thought I could make ten times what I earned after doubling my money. Now my account has shrunk by half, but I sleep much better and feel like I’ve gained something.

Only after ten years did I realize? I understood it in five years, at the cost of my debit card being frozen... Now every time I see full positions, I just want to laugh, because that's my reverse indicator.

It's quite heartbreaking, but I still see a loophole in the risk control threshold—are ten consecutive liquidations really just a matter of probability? Most likely, the leverage ratio was miscalculated.

To be honest, it took ten crashes over ten years to realize this, brother. But compared to those still all-in on air coins, you do have a clearer understanding. It's just that this set of theories sounds... a bit like armchair strategizing, you know, easily mistaken by beginners as gospel.

Ten collapses in ten years only to realize "being alive"... Bro, the cost of this is a bit high. But to be honest, your current position allocation is definitely more reliable than the gambler look back then. I'm just worried that those who realize it might turn around and start going all-in again. Cycles are the easiest thing to make people forget.
