#2026年比特币行情展望 I have a buddy who went from the brink of account zeroing out to a seven-figure balance. It’s not that I’m particularly talented; the key is that he truly treated investing like gambling at that time.
He would often say, "One more try, this time I’ll hit the jackpot." I bluntly retorted, "What you lack isn’t opportunity, it’s the ability to control yourself and stop messing around."
During his worst times, he only had about 10,000 USD left in his account. High leverage, chasing hot trends, listening to rumors — he stepped into every pitfall he could find. Honestly, it wasn’t luck; his entire trading logic was completely broken.
Later, I advised him to do just three simple things:
**First, understand the situation.** Market opportunities are continuous, but your starting capital is only this much. For those with less funds, survival is the most important, don’t always think about getting rich overnight.
**Second, focus only on the middle segment.** Don’t trade until the trend is clear; don’t trade until the pattern is understood. Take profits when reasonable, don’t be greedy and try to eat the whole fish.
**Third, defend your main position.** Don’t be tempted by stories of air coins; mainstream assets like $BTC and $ETH are enough for you to tinker with. Focus your energy on research, not chasing every hot trend.
He was able to get back on his feet later, not because of some miraculous operation, but because he started consistently following a "no big mistakes" discipline. No emotional trading, no reckless chasing — every trade was treated as a normal transaction, not a life gamble.
His account gradually grew from there.
Honestly speaking: going all-in isn’t bravery; it’s throwing your entire future on a randomly appearing K-line.

It's truly a live teaching scene of an investor's mindset, I was about the same back then, having wiped out my account more than once.

Damn, I know this guy's story too well, I have a bunch of people like that around me. The key is to control your hands, really.
But honestly, going from 10,000 U to a seven-figure amount... it also depends on luck, discipline is just the foundation.
Truth be told, most people can't even stick to the second step, they can't resist chasing after a limit-up.
These three steps sound simple, but the difficulty of execution is even higher than going all-in. With Bitcoin's market this year, holding the main position is really stable.
I just want to ask, is he still playing now? Is he really only doing BTC and ETH?
People who can't control themselves, no matter how good the strategy is, it's useless. I see counterexamples every week on my side.
This article is full of clichés, but it really hits human weaknesses.
The key is, in this environment, without a bit of luck, you really can't play. No matter how disciplined you are, it can't save weak hands.

That's so true. I also have friends like that who are still oscillating on the verge of liquidation.

Really, discipline is more valuable than anything else. I've seen too many people go all-in and go bankrupt.

Discipline is really the foundation of making money; going all-in is truly a fool's game that just hands out your head.
