8 years of surviving in crypto: I went from burning 3 accounts to making a profit every month thanks to these 4 tips

Yesterday, I saw a young person posting on the group: “Brother, this season’s crypto can win anything, how can you lose?” After reading it, I laughed like a fool – because 8 years ago I was just as naïve, so that from 30 million to only a few million left, the red account was feverish, and every night I lay looking at the ceiling wondering: “Or am I not suitable for crypto?” If you have also burned your account, panicked when the price is red, blamed yourself for being unlucky… then this article is for you. I’ll tell you the truth, to be honest – the whole thing is 8 years of survival experience, drawn from three account fires, not a fancy theory.

1. Investing without knowing how to protect yourself = putting yourself into guillotine When I first entered the market, I believed in the saying “if you don’t take risks, you can’t get rich”. So from a 5% increase I FOMO, smashed all my capital into a leveraged order. And as you might think: 24 hours later, the amount in the account is still correct… odd numbers. Crypto doesn’t kill you in one swipe, it kills you 100 times “it’s okay, this time it’s going to win”. After that shock, I applied the risk stratification method: Determine the maximum loss that can withstand (VD: 20% of the total vốn). Divide that loss into multiple tiers. If one level is wrong, stop, don’t let emotions drag negativity into the next layer. Just by surviving a few big waves, you’ll understand why keeping your money is the hardest skill in crypto. One more important thing: Don’t trade constantly. Crypto is open 24/7, but humans are not. The more you trade, the easier it is to make mistakes – but the transaction fees are always right, always collected.
2. Want to make money sustainably – There is only one way: FOLLOW THE TREND I used to try very hard to “catch the bottom – close the top”. Result? The bottom is not caught, the top is nowhere to be seen, but the loss is very real. In the financial markets, what pays you is not IQ, but trends. The uptrend → favor the buying strategy. Downtrend → avoid trying to guess the “last bottom”. There is no tendency → to stand outside, don’t let yourself get caught up in the noise. I have a saying that is always pasted next to the screen: “If you don’t enter, you will lose the opportunity. If you enter the wrong place, you will lose money.” I accept to miss a few markets, but I don’t accept to enter a position too early or in the wrong direction. The golden rule I always use: Each order loses up to 5% of the account. Each minimum profit is equal to or greater than the loss level. Only trade when the probability of winning > 50%. It looks simple, but it keeps me free from dozens of psychological traps.
3. Short-term is absolutely okay – but you have to avoid 2 traps that cause 90% of feathers to be plucked Many people mistakenly believe that “short hits” are easy to eat. Don’t! Short-term is only for people who are more disciplined than usual. Two mistakes burn out most short-term traders: (1) No transaction fees Many of you see that the profit of 0.5–1% has been sold in a hurry, but the entry fee – exit fee – floor fee eats up most of the profit. Doing it 10 times like that, it seems like a word, but in fact… sound. (2) Losing without cutting – winning is afraid If it’s wrong, hugging the order becomes a “long-term investment”. Yes, take profits early for fear of losing. The result: the account curve went down slowly, but fell vertically when it collapsed. Two tricks to help you survive short hits: Use auto-trade: set the entry point – exit point – stop loss point, let the robot do it, avoid emotions interfering. If done manually: Profit 20–30% of the lock, loss of about 10% cut immediately. No “hope”, no “vegetarian”. Also: Only choose high-liquidity coins with large volumes. Don’t touch junk coins, newly listed coins, thin volume coins – those things are born to take your money.
4. The last – but most important tip: WIN YOURSELF I have seen many people: There is a profit of several hundred million a month, the next month the account is empty. I used to be the same. The market doesn’t need you to be good – it needs you to be calm. After many years, I’ve learned one truth: Crypto winners aren’t the smartest. It’s the one who knows how to admit mistakes the earliest. You don’t need to predict the future. No one can do that. You just need to react quickly – and right – to the present. Final Thoughts for You If you are: DisorientedConstant lossesConfused when looking at chartsHay FOMO and regretting it again Then I want you to remember one thing: Crypto is not a race for the fast. It is a contest of those who know how to exist. As long as you are not left out of the market, you will have a life-changing day. 👉 It took me 8 years to understand this.
