#美国非农就业数据表现强劲 Ten years of losing everything finally reveals: surviving in the crypto world is harder than making quick money. Back then, with a single-minded focus, even if $BTC dropped 20%, I’d still argue with myself, "This is a buying point," only to see my account evaporate overnight, and I wouldn’t even be able to afford a good meal.
Later, I figured out four lifelines and now follow them: only check the market after 9 PM (when the main players’ tactics are fewer), MACD, RSI, and Bollinger Bands signals must all align before I dare to act; once I place an order, I set a 3% stop-loss below to eliminate any luck-based chances; I keep a close eye on 1-hour double bullish candles for a breakout, and if it’s sideways, I switch to the 4-hour chart to find support levels. I’ve already blacklisted small altcoins like meme coins.
Honestly, admitting a loss and stopping out once is much smarter than stubbornly holding onto a position. Successful traders aren’t reckless; they survive through repeated testing. Someone asked me for my secret, and it’s really just this—survive first, then look for the next opportunity.

I've truly experienced the pain of losing everything over ten years. Back then, I was stubborn and insisted on holding on, only to end up completely broke.

Stop-loss really saved my life, no exaggeration. Where are all those guys still stubbornly holding on now?

Ten years of losing everything... Buddy, listening to this story really tugs at my heart, but that "only by staying alive can there be a next round" truly hit home, much more realistic than any compounding interest theory.

The ten years of losing everything really hits home. I have also experienced the despair of an account evaporating overnight. Now I have to force myself to watch the market after 9 PM, otherwise I tend to get too emotional.
Living is indeed harder than making money. This statement is so true.
I have now developed the habit of setting stop-loss orders, otherwise I keep thinking it can rebound or break even, but in the end, I often end up losing even more.
I have also blacklisted altcoins, they are too easy to get cut.
By repeatedly surviving like this, I slowly understand the rules of the game in the crypto circle.

After losing everything in ten years and still surviving to summarize the experience, this is what a crypto expert looks like. I am now just that stubborn fool...

The stop-loss orders are indeed excellent, but to be honest, I'm still the kind of person who wants to buy the dip whenever I see a decline, and I can't change that.
