When it comes to long-term survival in the digital asset circle, I think of a friend's story—from an initial investment of hundreds of thousands all the way up to tens of millions. He didn't share any complicated technical indicators, only left four words: Stay steady, then make your move.

Later, I understood that anyone can see the ups and downs of the market; what truly tests you is your psychological resilience. Market fluctuations are actually minor; your greed and impulsiveness are the biggest enemies.

That senior summarized a set of practices, which I interpret as three bottom lines:

**First: Every trade must be supported by logic.** Don’t rush in just because the price is rising, or cut losses because it’s falling. Going all-in on a gamble sounds exciting, but it’s really handing the fate of your account to chance. Conversely, controlling your position size and leaving room for maneuver allows you to survive until the real opportunity comes.

**Second: When the market is unclear, stay on the sidelines.** Especially in oscillating ranges, most daily fluctuations are noise; there’s no need to watch the charts every day. Real opportunities are often obvious and don’t require strenuous digging. If the direction isn’t clear, just watch and let the bullets fly.

**Third: Position size is always the top priority.** This is very crucial—don’t go all-in, don’t bet your living expenses, and don’t borrow money to trade. In terms of allocation, use mainstream coins as the base (relatively stable), and allocate a small portion to try emerging projects (with enough tolerance for errors). Even if you make mistakes, your account can still survive.

I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon: most people enter the market thinking about how to double their money quickly, but those who really make money in the long run are thinking about how not to be wiped out. As long as you’re still at the table, your wave of market opportunity will eventually come.

So, I’ll leave you with this final thought: stability is always more valuable than recklessness.
