Living in the crypto world is more important than getting rich overnight.

I started with 1000U, no background, no large capital, just an ordinary retail investor. Now I have over 1 million in my account. Sounds impressive? Actually, I only did one thing—don't gamble recklessly.

**How did I grow from 1000 to 1 million?**

**Stage One: Position Control and Practice Period**

Initially, I had 1000U in my account, divided into 5 parts, 200U each. The goal at this stage isn't to make money but to learn how to survive. Every trade has stop-loss and take-profit set, and I avoid unfamiliar market conditions. The key is not chasing trades, not resisting the market, and not gambling with market sentiment. Only operate on opportunities I truly understand.

**Stage Two: Profit-Adding and Position Expansion Period**

When the account grew to 50,000U, I changed my strategy. I kept each position around a quarter of the total, but started adding to positions in line with the trend. When the market moved favorably, I didn't greedily take all profits at once but entered in batches, focusing on the most stable middle segment of the profit. This way, I followed the trend and avoided chasing high and getting caught.

**Stage Three: Rational Profit Withdrawal Period**

After the account exceeded 200,000U, I developed the habit of locking in part of the profits weekly and withdrawing. It's not because I fear losses but to remind myself—prevent the account from inflating and my mindset from drifting. Stable compound growth is more deadly than single big gains.

**Why do most people blow up their accounts?**

I've seen too many accounts disappear overnight: positions are chaotic, stop-losses are ineffective, and they get the right direction but die on resisting trades. Their common point is treating gambling luck as a trading system.

The logic of the crypto market is simple: those with strong execution make money, those with poor mentality get caught holding the bag. To survive here, you must first learn how to survive, then think about how to earn.

That's right, once you go against the trend, it's really over.

here's the thing tho—fundamentally speaking, what this post nails is the discipline framework, right? like, my students always confuse *surviving* with *thriving* when really it's the opposite... the survival mechanics here? that's literally the pedagogical foundation for everything else. not glamorous but absolutely non-negotiable.

It's really true, living is much more important than getting rich quickly. I've seen too many people lose everything in an instant.

The core is not about the amount, but about living long enough. Mentality management is truly the biggest trading system. That's right, most people die because of greed. This method sounds simple, but in fact, it's the hardest to achieve. Gradually increasing positions and regularly withdrawing funds—it's so simple yet so difficult. People who get liquidated never lack opportunities; what they lack is self-discipline. From 1,000 to 1 million is not luck, but discipline.
