In the highly volatile digital asset market, I have developed a set of investment philosophies that can help survive. Today, I want to share a few core trading principles with everyone:

**Principle 1: Capital safety always comes first**
Every time I enter a new project, I withdraw the principal immediately once the expected gain is reached, and only use the remaining part to snowball. If the stop-loss line is hit, I exit decisively. The benefit of this approach is obvious — even if my judgment is completely wrong, the account won't suffer serious damage.

**Principle 2: Trade only within your knowledge scope**
I study mainstream coins like ETH and Solana carefully, but I never touch unfamiliar projects. Don’t be fooled by stories of "hundredfold coins"; market opportunities are always there, but traps are often more plentiful than opportunities.

**Principle 3: Position allocation is more important than predicting the market**
I use the "5311 rule" to allocate funds:
- 50% in mainstream coins (priority on stability)
- 30% in potential projects (medium risk)
- 10% for high-risk gambling
- 10% kept as cash reserves

This system performed stably during the 2022 bear market, with a maximum drawdown controlled within 15%.

**Key shift: From gambling to management**
After 2022, I completely changed my strategy, abandoning frequent short-term trading and shifting to more stable income methods like mining hosting and liquidity mining. Over three years, my account grew from 190,000 to 33.28 million, with steady and controllable growth.

Ultimately, this market rewards not those who think they are smart, but those who stick to discipline and survive long enough as long-term investors. Don’t be overly optimistic during bull markets, and don’t panic during bear markets — every trade should be within your plan.
ETH-1,35%
SOL-2,44%

ngl the 5311 allocation is just... capital utilization 101, but sure go off about "discipline" while everyone's chasing shitcoins into oblivion. that 15% drawdown tho? checks out if you're actually managing basis points instead of gambling lol

Honestly, the method of withdrawing principal is really brilliant, but I have to ask, did you also invest a lot more during these three years from 190,000 to 33,280,000?

Damn, I need to save this 5311 rule. It seems much more reliable than my previous random buying and selling approach.

The 5311 rule sounds okay, but to be honest, most people simply can't stick to that stop-loss discipline. Wait, from 190,000 to 33.28 million? Is this growth rate serious? It's really just about living long enough; don't cause trouble, and you'll be fine. Withdrawing principal can indeed save lives. I've seen too many guys lose everything in one go. I've heard the advice to stick to discipline so many times, but no one actually manages to do it. Is hosting mining rigs and liquidity mining more stable than short-term trading? Well, that's true. This methodology has been discussed for a long time, but the real question is, who actually follows it? My favorite phrase is "live long enough"; there's nothing more true than that.

The 5311 rule sounds good, but honestly, most people still can't control their hands. You've probably never withdrawn your principal, which feels like the hardest part. From 190,000 to 33 million, that kind of growth... how many cycles would it take to achieve that?

This is what it truly means to be alive, something that those who chase 100x coins every day cannot understand.
