Crypto enthusiasts often say that making money quickly isn't important; living a long life is the real skill.

I've had three major falls in the crypto world. That night, I looked at my account and saw only $1,200 left, and my hands were trembling. Someone in my group chat was posting screenshots of hundredfold gains every day, while I was almost losing my principal. That feeling was like being pressed to the ground and repeatedly abused.

But it was also that late night that I suddenly understood—if I keep chasing gains and panic selling, blindly following others, I will only become a target for being harvested in this life.

I set myself three strict rules. As a result, after three months, my account skyrocketed from $1,200 to $38,000. More importantly, I never got liquidated again. Today, I’m sharing this set of strategies—not some secret trick, but the survival wisdom of someone who crawled out of hell.

**Rule One: Money should be divided into three parts, each with its own role**

My initial mistake was throwing all my money into "surging" news, always getting stuck at the top. Only later did I realize—compared to technical analysis, proper capital allocation is the key to longevity.

My approach is straightforward: divide the principal into three equal parts, each with a clear task, and absolutely no reallocation.

The first part is for short-term trading. At most two positions per day; whether I gain or lose, I stop, never being greedy. The second part is for trend trading. If the weekly chart hasn't formed a bullish alignment, I refuse to move; I’d rather stay out of the market than make ambiguous trades. The third part is for insurance. I sleep most of the time; I only take action to rescue when the current two positions are about to be liquidated, ensuring that one wrong judgment doesn’t lead to immediate exit.

The core logic of this approach is: recognize that you will make mistakes. Since mistakes are inevitable, you must keep a backup plan.
