Crypto Survival Guide: Three Life-Saving Rules Every Newcomer Must Memorize

I always have only three things to say, and each one could save your life.

① Crypto is not a money-printing machine—it's an emotional roller coaster

Most people come in on day one dreaming of "getting rich quick," only to experience "getting wrecked" on day two. You need to understand: you’re not earning trend money, you’re earning emotion money. When the market is hot, even shitcoins can soar; when the market drops, even blue chips can get cut in half.
If you want to survive, you need a survival mindset:

Always keep some ammo—never go all in
Don't YOLO, don’t use leverage
Set stop-losses, but also have patience
You’re not here to gamble your life, but to learn how to survive volatility.

② Always prioritize blue chips, avoid chasing stories

99% of “miracle coins,” “insider projects,” or “friend recommendations” end up as jokes. Less than 1% understand the whitepaper, even fewer actually make money.
Remember this: If you don’t understand it, don’t touch it.
Mainstream coins rise slowly, but won’t vanish overnight; shitcoins rise fast, but even the devs might disappear.
For beginners, stability is the biggest win.
Don’t chase fairy tales of 100x returns—first, learn how not to lose your principal.

③ Your real opponent isn’t the market—it’s yourself

The market always has opportunities, but you only have one bankroll.
You’ll realize that losing money is rarely because the market is bad, but because your mindset collapses.
A little pump? You FOMO in at the top.
A little dip? You panic sell at the bottom.
Someone shills bullish, you ape in; someone shills bearish, you sell everything.
That’s not trading—it’s emotional gambling. The real pros only do three things:
Follow the trend, don’t try to predict
DCA, don’t bet on direction
Stay calm, don’t get greedy

Crypto isn’t about who apes in fastest—it’s about who lasts the longest.
Getting rich is tough, but surviving is totally achievable.
Remember these three rules—
Don’t YOLO, don’t follow random calls, don’t act on impulse.
These three rules could save your life.
