#数字资产生态回暖 That crash, I stayed in the bathroom for a long time.



My account jumped from 2.17 million straight down to just over 40,000, and my phone kept vibrating with early education fee notifications. When my mind went blank, I finally understood—this isn't about risking my life, it's about risking whether my family can sleep peacefully.

Since that day, I haven't dreamed of getting rich overnight. I haven't touched high leverage ever again.

I started to treat trading as a craft to learn—not relying on intuition, but on discipline.

The whole approach is actually very simple:

**Position must be layered**—start with small positions to test the waters, add more if the direction is correct; if wrong, it doesn't hurt, because each stop-loss is firmly within 1%. Admit mistakes and exit, no lucky breaks.

**Opportunities must wait until confirmed**—when both 4-hour and daily candles turn strong, and trading volume expands simultaneously, only then dare to act. Hitting a new high isn't enough; within three days, it must not break key support, and volume must follow through. That’s a real breakout. Those gains without volume support? Just false signals, avoid them.

Later, I found a group of like-minded people to trade together using this system. Nothing special, just坚持 this discipline.

Three years now. The team grew from a dozen to over a thousand people. No margin calls for 28 consecutive months.

Some paid off their mortgages, some saved a safety fund for their families. Most importantly—everyone sleeps soundly.

Looking back at that crash, I actually thank it.

The crypto market won't give you miracles, only lessons. True victory isn't about how many times your account multiplies, but about your account being stable, your mind being stable, and your family being stable. Relying on a clear system and a mutually constraining team will always go further than one person hard-headedly enduring alone.

When the value jumps from 2.17 million to 40,000, have you ever really thought about going all in and bouncing back? Discipline is easy to talk about, but how many can stick to it for 28 months without getting liquidated?

ngl the governance primitives here are *chef's kiss*... sub-optimal incentive structures got real personal real quick. 217万 to 4万 is what we'd call, uh, "non-trivial externalities" on family dinner conversations lol

yeah sure, position sizing and discipline... sounds nice until the next liquidation cascade hits and your "1% stop loss" gets gapped through in a flash crash. seen this exact playbook before, spoiler alert: it doesn't survive systemic risk events.

2.17 million down to 40,000, this is what you call a real blockchain story. But what’s truly impressive is the discipline that comes afterward, which is more effective than anything else.

Staying in the toilet for a long time, I understand this part... I truly had an epiphany when it went from 2.17 million to 40,000.

It's really not easy to come to this realization in the bathroom.
