Last year, my sister lost 360,000 yuan in the crypto world.

That afternoon, she completely deleted her trading app, threw her phone to the ground, and the screen shattered into eight pieces. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she kept repeating one word: "It's over."

Then she locked herself in the study and didn't come out for three days. I left food outside the door, and all I could hear was the rustling of pages turning, no more of her usual laughter.

She only came out when spring arrived. In the tea house of the community, with hot tea still steaming, she took out her phone to show me—her account had only 3,600 USD left.

Her hand holding the phone was trembling a little, but her eyes were different: "Either accept defeat now, or use this little capital to turn things around."

Who would have thought that these few thousand dollars were turned into over a hundred thousand by her? Not only did she make up for the losses, but she also earned more than thirty thousand extra.

Later, she summarized her experience by saying it was all about "the discipline learned from losing money."

She used to be the type to go all-in, but now she’s completely changed—never risking more than a quarter of her total funds on a single trade. Once a loss reaches 10-20%, she cuts it immediately and doesn’t dwell on it.

Her original words were: "Stay alive, opportunities are always there."

She also gave up on seemingly clever strategies—like bottom-fishing or top-selling—she doesn’t play those anymore. When the market rises, she trades lightly; when it falls, she tests with small amounts, letting data and time speak.

Once, she easily made over 6,000 USD with this approach. I’ve never seen such an expression on her face before.

The core of it all is just four words: Contentment brings happiness.

As long as she makes a profit and takes it, she continues with a small portion, while withdrawing the rest to her wallet. She said, "Slow accumulation is always better than a single爆仓 and losing everything."

She’s not a trading expert, just someone who has learned to control greed. Later, she even helped friends grow their initial capital from 2,000 USD to nearly 10,000 USD, reminding them to cut losses in time at critical moments.

In fact, there’s no such thing as a hopeless situation in the crypto market. Stick to risk management bottom line, and even with minimal starting capital, you can gradually accumulate wealth.

Many people fall into a vicious cycle of losses, not because they aren’t努力 enough, but because they keep running on the wrong path. The market rhythm is right there, opportunities never wait—there are no shortcuts in this regard.
