#密码资产动态追踪 In the winter of 2018, I curled up in a basement rented in Shenzhen, six square meters, with no heating, only an electric blanket. I had 300 yuan left in my bank card, spending my days serving dishes in a restaurant, and my nights staring at K-line charts.



Seven years later, the account balance has grown to over 22 million.

It's not luck, but four rules summarized from bloodshed and sacrifice.

**Rule 1: Rapid rise must be followed by rapid fall; distribution is right in front of you**

During that market surge in 2018, I identified a coin that skyrocketed 320% in ten days, and I forced myself to go all-in with 80,000 yuan. On the third day, it plummeted 18%, losing 60,000 yuan in a week. That loss taught me: after a gain of over 30%, if it consolidates sideways for 3 to 5 days, then suddenly drops 15% with increased volume, the big players are basically pulling out. When I see this kind of pattern now, I go short every time—no exceptions.

**Rule 2: Sideways consolidation at high levels is not a bottom, but a trap**

In 2019, I held mainstream coins, watching the market consolidate for two months. I thought a rebound was inevitable, so I added leverage and increased my position. As a result, I was cut in half.

Later, I figured out the pattern: if consolidation lasts over 20 days, turnover rate is less than 2%, and the price deviates more than 20% from the 20-day moving average, it’s a typical signal of major players distributing. Now, once my system detects this pattern, I immediately start reducing positions—no questions asked.

**Rule 3: The bottom is judged by volume, not price**

On March 12, 2020, during that crash, I wanted to bottom fish $LINK but got trapped badly. I finally understood what a true bottom looks like: volume contraction combined with gentle volume increases over three days with small bullish candles—this is the real signal.

Last year, Bitcoin showed this pattern at around 25,000. I went all-in, and when it rose to 42,000, I sold, earning 5.8 million in one trade. Data doesn’t lie.

**Rule 4: Volume reveals the truth; position size determines life or death**

Only those who survive long enough have the right to profit in this market.

My principle is simple: only use half a position, never leverage. Last year, I entered when $PEPE volume increased fivefold, and once the trend broke, I took profits immediately. I earned 12 times my investment and avoided the subsequent big crash.

This market isn’t about who’s the smartest; it’s about who can stay alive. The market is constantly changing its skin, but human nature remains the same. Holding onto your bottom line is the key to going further.

A 6-square-meter electric blanket turning into 22 million, how incredible is this story haha Just talking about the rules everyone can do, the key is whether you really made money or not Feels like a prelude to selling courses, is there a system to be recommended later Not adding leverage on half positions is indeed clear-headed, but the rest has a bit of a sorcerer’s flavor Buy at 25,000 and sell at 42,000 for Bitcoin—this entry and exit point is just too perfect It looks very right, but the market is so complex; if you use the rules well, you can survive, but if you use them poorly, you’ll still go bankrupt

The basement part was really intense, I truly admire it. But I still think luck plays the biggest role; technology is just a game of probabilities. Honestly, I've tried those pattern recognitions, but the market is so dark that the big players can act even better than you. Holding half a position without adding leverage can indeed last longer, but unfortunately most people can't wait for that opportunity. Can account numbers deceive people, or is it that screenshot that can deceive? This set of theories works great in a bull market, but what about in a bear market? What to do then? I just want to ask, how did you confirm that the 25,000 wave is definitely the bottom and not just a continued drop? Still, you have to pay more tuition to truly understand these things; otherwise, watching more won't help. I support the idea of holding half a position; at least you won't go all-in and get wiped out. That's true wisdom.

Basement Dreamer, you're really talking big now, but I'm a bit skeptical about the "no exceptions" part. Surviving this bull market is already a success. Crying and shouting when leveraging, but now that you're half-in, you're teaching others? That's classic survivor bias. 580 million orders, why no screenshot? Living is winning, I’ve taken that to heart. I truly resonate with the part about going all-in with 80,000 and losing 60,000. Now I get nervous just looking at the table. But on the other hand, volume really doesn’t lie, that’s for sure. Another story of "I have a system," if it’s really that stable, there’s no need to post articles. Going from basement to 22 million, that turn of events is indeed crazy. I don’t believe it.

This kind of rhetoric sounds like giving retail investors chicken soup, but those who truly make money never talk like that. Cutting losses and going all-in again and again—anyway, in the end, they say they survived. But is surviving due to luck or skill? That high-level sideways trading theory is quite classic, but I think there's really no difference between the main force's distribution and accumulation patterns—it's all about whether you lost money or not. Last year, from 25,000 to 42,000, we all wanted to make that 5.8 million. The question is, how do we know that was the bottom? Position management is not wrong; half-position indeed lasts longer than full position, but that's not really a secret. Basically, it's survivor bias—those who are still around to tell the story are the ones who bet correctly.

The basement is at 22 million. I've heard this story countless times, but the part about leveraging really hits home. The true bottom is characterized by low trading volume, and that's correct. I avoided two major pitfalls last year because of this. Half-position principle really saves lives. I've seen too many people wiped out after going all-in. The ones who survive are always the stubborn ones. But honestly, the probability of surviving is even lower than making big money. Luck probably doesn't play as small a role as we think. If this theory were really that effective, more people would be at 22 million.

The basement story is back, and this time the numbers are truly outrageous, but I really can't believe in the "look once, empty once" approach. Wow, from 300 yuan to 22 million, is it really that exciting? I agree with not adding leverage on half a position, but I feel most people lose because of greed. Basically, it's a mindset issue—whether you can hold on during big ups and downs. This theory sounds good, but how many people can actually implement it?

Basement to 22 million, I've heard too many versions of this story, but I believe in not adding leverage with half a position. Going all-in with 300 yuan on 320% is truly crazy behavior. Survivor bias is okay, but don't push ordinary people into the fire pit. The signal with a turnover rate of less than 2% is something I’ve verified myself; it’s indeed useful. But don’t say "no exceptions," as the market always has black swans. The lesson from LINK on March 12, I was also trapped like that in 2017. Trading volume is indeed king. However, I still think that compared to these patterns, psychological resilience is the most difficult. It’s frightening how few people can stick with a half-position.

There's really nothing wrong with what you're saying, but most people just can't do it. Greed really can kill. Just not resetting the account balance already makes you half the winner; that's hard enough. That part about going all-in with 80,000 really hit me. Every time I think I've understood, I end up repeating the same mistakes. The fourth point among these four hits the hardest: living a long life is the true way, but everyone wants to get rich quickly, right?
