After being in the crypto market for so long, I’ve realized that surviving here isn’t about having advanced skills.

A lot of people lose everything, and to be honest, it’s because they fall into a few of the most basic traps.

If you’re stuck in a losing position, don’t go all-in hoping to break even—protecting your principal is the real priority. As long as your account is still there, you’ll always have a chance to bounce back. The calmer the market seems, the more alert you need to be—crashes often come out of nowhere.

When prices are surging, don’t let excitement get the best of you. Seasoned traders are quietly taking profits and selling off at these times.

Be willing to sell when the price goes up, and stay calm when it drops. The worst thing you can do is let your emotions take over, chasing pumps and panic selling—you’ll lose on both ends.

Don’t chase at the top, don’t panic-buy during a crash, and don’t get itchy hands during sideways markets—these are all hard lessons paid for with real money.

Go with the trend, pay attention to support and resistance levels, and don’t fight against the bigger trend.

And most importantly: never go all-in with your entire position. It might feel great in the moment, but if you get liquidated even once, you’ll have to give back everything you earned before.

In the end, the crypto market isn’t about who makes the most money the fastest—it’s about who can stay in the game the longest.

Those who survive long enough will naturally build their wealth over time. #zec
