Having been in the crypto world for six years, I have seen through a truth — this circle is performing the "get rich quick" illusion every day. It seems like opportunities are everywhere, but in reality, they are all carefully designed traps.

The most common mistake beginners make is being blinded by short-term gains. The reason I am still here today is based on a survival rule: protect the principal, survive long enough, and wealth will truly belong to you.

I never hype up small-cap coins randomly; I only hold major mainstream coins with top market caps. This is not conservatism, but a respect for the trust of my followers — I don’t want to see anyone jump into a deep pit chasing overnight riches.

The key to winning in the crypto circle is actually very simple: reject false promises of quick wealth, choose more certain tracks, and steadily walk the long-term path. Together with like-minded people, support each other, avoid risks — this is the real way to make money in the crypto market.

That's so true. Protecting the principal is really the first lesson; many people lose money by chasing short-term double-ups. It's a once-in-a-lifetime sight; indeed, there are more traps than opportunities. This sounds good but is hard to achieve; most people still want to get rich overnight. I agree with the idea of banding together for warmth; it's too easy to get cut in the crypto circle alone.

Living long enough hits the mark, but to be honest, it's still too idealistic. Who in the crypto world hasn't seen someone preserve their principal only to be wiped out? The key is to choose the right track.

That's so true, that's how the crypto world is—one wave of retail investors gets harvested after another. I really respect this brother's survival rule; protecting your principal is the top priority. Mainstream coins are really much more stable than small coins; don't be fooled by the stories of those air coins. Living longer is more important than anything else; only by banding together can we survive.

It's a valid point, but very few people can actually do it. The phrase "live long enough" hits home; most people die before dawn. Mainstream coins are indeed stable, but the returns are so slow they can be frustrating. Gathering together for warmth sounds comforting, but in reality? It's still everyone for themselves. Principal safety first—that's a principle I agree with, but unfortunately I realized it too late.
