#数字资产市场动态 Many people enter the crypto world dreaming of getting rich overnight, only to lose everything in a sudden crash. I realized this truth when I was 39 years old—relying on technical analysis or copying big traders doesn't actually have a high success rate. Those who can survive and thrive in this market are those who know how to discipline themselves.

I am now settled in Shenzhen, owning two properties—one for living and one for rent. The best part is that I can maintain a decent life without having to go to work every day. This is not luck; it’s the survival rules I’ve summarized from years of experience in the crypto space.

**Slow growth with small dips is the real trend; sudden surges and crashes are signals of market manipulation**

If the market steadily rises and the pullbacks never exceed 10%, it usually indicates that large funds are gradually building positions, and the overall trend is healthy. But if there’s a sudden jump of over 20%, followed by a rapid decline, it’s likely the market makers are accumulating. Don’t be driven by FOMO; calm people often laugh last.

**The more aggressively someone calls out a coin, the further you should stay away**

In groups, you see daily calls like "This coin will 10x, miss it and you'll regret it," along with a bunch of profit screenshots. Don’t be fooled by this marketing tactic; truly promising projects don’t need such "brainwashing" promotion. Hype and project value are two different things.

**Invest 30% of your capital, keep 70% for risk hedging**

When you like a coin, invest at most 30% of your total assets. The remaining 70% is your safety fund—reserved for extreme market conditions. Those who bet everything in one go usually get wiped out during a major bear market. Surviving in the crypto space is the top priority; quick wealth is secondary. The same applies to $BTC and other coins.

**Take profits and withdraw half to lock in gains**

Paper profits are just on paper; market changes happen too fast. No matter how many times a trade multiplies your capital, first withdraw half of the profit to an external wallet, then continue to trade with the remaining. This is not conservatism; it’s respect for the market.

**Don’t touch concept coins you don’t understand, no matter how hot they are**

DeFi, NFT, AI concepts come and go, each claiming to be the next big thing. But "others are making money" is not a reason for you to follow suit. If you don’t understand the underlying logic, entering the market usually means you’ll be the one holding the bag in the end.

**Discipline is more valuable than talent**

Over the years, I’ve survived two bull and bear cycles not because of superb technical skills, but because I stuck to these simple methods. Being diligent, disciplined, and self-controlled—these three are more effective than any fancy trading system. The crypto world isn’t short of gamblers; what’s missing are those who can be ruthless with themselves and truly follow through.
