# 1. Survival First: Your Principal is Your Life

"In crypto, living long is ten thousand times more important than making money fast."

**Don't All-In:** Never invest all your funds at once. Even if you're 99% confident, that remaining 1% black swan event (exchange collapse, regulatory ban, code vulnerability) can wipe you out to zero.

**Invest with Idle Money:** Only invest money where "even if I lose it all, it won't affect my meals tomorrow, rent payments, or family harmony." Trading under pressure will definitely distort your decision-making.

**Accept Zero-Out Risk:** Besides BTC and ETH, approximately 90% of other altcoins have close to a 90% probability of going to zero long-term. Don't treat altcoins as family heirlooms.
