#BTC资金流动性 From 1,900U to 76,000U, and finally only 8,000U—A greed-driven collapse I witnessed

$ETH

That was a story from last year. A fan came to me with 1,900U, his account in a chaotic state after liquidation, completely anxious.

I gave him four simple rules: divide your position into 8 parts, risk no more than 12% of total funds per trade, withdraw 30% of profits each time, and cut losses when floating losses reach 5%.

For the first 22 days, he seemed to become a different person. Every morning before the market opened, he reviewed the charts; during trading, he executed with machine-like precision—winning without arrogance, losing without gambling or holding on. His account surged from 1,900U to 76,000U. Nearly 20 times.

But the watershed of human nature appeared here.

He started to get impatient. He thought following the rules was too slow. He secretly went all-in on a popular altcoin, even deleting his stop-loss line. I told him, "Holding onto profits is ten times harder than making profits," and he replied, "Missed this wave, I won’t have a chance to turn things around in the next life."

On day 25, his account suddenly retraced 51%.

By day 28, only 8,000U remained.

He later asked me, "Why didn’t you forcibly stop me again?"

At that moment, I realized—the biggest opponent in the crypto world isn’t market fluctuations, but the extra idle money in your account. After profits, people are easily consumed by greed, losing their rationality.

Most can double their funds through discipline, but many get crushed by the dream of tenfold returns. Well-meaning advice can’t save a gambler’s mindset; only rules can contain emotions.

So I later condensed this painful experience into three ironclad rules:

**First, Profit Layered Withdrawal Method**
Every time you earn 5,000U, withdraw 3,000U into a cold wallet. This isn’t to prevent you from trading further, but to ensure part of each profit is truly secured. Psychologically, this creates an "already won" anchor, making subsequent operations less aggressive.

**Second, Mechanical Stop-Loss Execution**
When floating losses reach 5%, don’t debate or fantasize—cut immediately. The biggest enemy here is your own "wait a bit longer" mentality. Allowing yourself to bargain starts to interfere with decision-making. Mechanical execution means taking decision power out of emotional control.

**Third, Always Reserve a Lifeline**
Always keep 20% of your funds untouched in your account. This isn’t wasteful; it’s a backup during high volatility periods. Many people blow up their accounts not because of a single wrong decision, but because they lack funds to correct their positions after consecutive losses.

Honestly, going from poor to rich in crypto isn’t the hardest part. The real challenge is, after tasting wealth, to return to initial caution. Many people repeat the cycle of "earn a profit—inflate—liquidate—restart."

If you’ve also lost control after profits, reflect: what you truly lack isn’t the next opportunity, but a system that can truly lock down greed.
