Having navigated the crypto market for 8 years, I have experienced tumultuous waves like a mountain ghost—from account wipeouts to asset doubling, then falling back to the starting point. I've been crazy, regretful, desperate, and of course, had moments of brilliance. Over the years, I’ve understood one principle: the crypto world indeed offers a turnaround opportunity for the underlying people, but the prerequisite is that you truly understand the rules of this game.

Successful traders share some common traits. First is cognitive level—not following the crowd or listening to rumors, but understanding market logic. Second is the accumulation of technical skills and trading experience, which doesn’t happen overnight. There’s also strict self-discipline and a complete trading system, which determine how long you can survive.

Markets have bull and bear phases. The real profit-makers are not those who bet on the right direction, but those who manage risk the best. If you possess these elements, then bull and bear cycles are actually opportunities for continuous compounding.

Exactly right, risk control is the key. So many people end up losing everything because of the desire to take a big risk.

Listen, risk control has really been a common topic, but those who have survived for 8 years truly understand this. It sounds like a history of blood, sweat, and tears, but the compound interest approach must be built on the foundation of living long enough... there's too much complexity here. Master the rules? Bro, I think most people don't even understand what they're betting on. Cognitive level is probably the dividing line between making quick money and living a long life. It's all clear, you're right, but how many can actually do it?

That really hits home. I've suffered too many losses in risk control, having wiped out my account twice before I finally realized it.

Risk control is well said, but to be honest, how many people can really do it? I've seen too many people who know these principles, yet in the end, they are still overwhelmed by emotions and greed.
