All previous years ended with liquidations. This year, starting from January 1st with a deposit of $74, by the 6th I had already reached $114, but for me, this is just normal. Since I entered the crypto world in 2020, I have lost over a million dollars in total, and no matter how much principal I put in, it seems cursed — I’ve never broken the $8,000 ceiling.

This year, I set a rule for myself: to break this cycle. But breaking it isn’t about adding more funds; it’s about restraint. Every time I deposit, I keep it strictly under $1,000 — this line must not be crossed.

To many who want to get rich overnight here, honestly: gamble with money you can’t afford to lose, and there’s only one ending — utter ruin. My lessons are painfully clear. Truly, remember this phrase, and never forget.

Still playing despite a million in losses, this mindset is really strong. But to be fair, gaining self-control has truly been an epiphany, making me much more reliable than most newbies.

Even with a million in losses, you're still talking about restraint. I think the real issue isn't adding more positions; it's that the mindset isn't in the right place. Getting back to break-even depends on faith, not on controlling deposits.

Still playing despite a million in losses, this mental resilience is truly remarkable. But to be honest, this level of restraint is indeed more reliable than going all-in; it just depends on how long you can stick with it.

Still playing despite a million in losses, this mindset is truly desperate. To be honest, restraint is indeed smarter than all-in, but what I'm more curious about is—your $8,000 ceiling, is it really a technical issue or a mental barrier?

Even with a loss of millions, I can still come out alive. I truly respect this mental resilience.
