Making money in the crypto world boils down to two words: discipline.
Recently, a friend confided in me that her family favors boys over girls. Her brother's tuition fee is 20,000 USD, but she only has 10,000 USD left in her account. That number flickered on the screen, as if asking her: What gives you the right to turn things around?
I didn't give her any motivational clichés. Instead, I showed her what I learned from a margin call — a trading strategy I call the "Five-Step Profit Guarantee Method":
**Step 1: Lock in Principal** — Only invest 1/5 of your total funds in trading; the remaining 4/5 should be like frozen, no matter how urgent it gets.
**Step 2: Set the Rhythm** — Only trade market movements you understand. Don't follow the herd. Mainstream coins have predictable volatility; follow the pattern, don't chase hot trends.
**Step 3: Fast Entry and Exit** — Take profits at 5%, cut losses at 3%. It sounds greedy, but it helps you survive longer.
**Step 4: Reinvest and Roll Over** — Use the profits from each round as the principal for the next. Let profits generate more profits, never touch the original funds again.
**Step 5: Review Every Night** — Know why you won when you win; if you can replicate the logic, analyze where you went wrong when you lose.
She followed this rhythm and hardly slept for seven days. But her account kept changing: 13,000 → 19,000 → 36,000… On the seventh day, a pop-up showed 52,000 USD. She cried.
The money was transferred out, her brother's tuition was covered, and she still had some left.
At that moment, she truly understood — in the crypto world, talent doesn't matter, luck doesn't matter. It all depends on whether you can stick to that discipline. The market tests human nature every day. Most people get stuck in the swings of "greed" and "fear." What you need to do is stay steady one second longer than others.
Bitcoin will rise and fall, but your discipline will never betray you. Starting today, turn this strict self-discipline into your real trump card.

Five-step guaranteed profit method? It sounds like a contract launched without thorough auditing, with logical loopholes everywhere.

Discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to do. Five times in seven days? Just listen and don't take it seriously.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but few can really stick to it.
Really? 52,000 in seven days, that number is making me a bit dizzy.
Speaking of which, is cutting at 3% really that harsh? I feel like I need to build a lot of mental resilience.
I've been wanting to try the method of locking in principal for a long time, just not sure when to unfreeze...
That's how the crypto world is, the real test isn't IQ, but whether you can resist going all in.

The five-step guaranteed profit method sounds very tempting, but to be honest, I'm already tired of stories like 5x in seven days. Isn't that how the crypto world is? Some people turn things around through discipline, while most people break their discipline by the third day.

To be honest, this set of logic sounds comfortable, but there are not many people who can actually execute it.
