#数字资产市场动态 Last winter, a friend of mine experienced a massive loss of 360,000 in the crypto market. During that time, he completely collapsed—destroyed his equipment, uninstalled apps, and stayed shut in for two months. When he reappeared in front of everyone, he looked exhausted, and the account balance on his phone was the only proof of his despair.



But a turning point quietly arrived this spring.

One afternoon at the tea house, he suddenly took out his phone to show me: an account balance of 3,600U. He didn’t explain much, only saying, "Either go all out or prove myself with this money." At that moment, the extinguished look in his eyes reignited with fire.

Incredible as it sounds, in just half a year, that 3,600U grew to over 100,000U—not only recovering his losses but also earning an additional profit of over 30,000. The key was that he understood a word: **discipline**.

His trading rules are simple and straightforward: never let any position touch 20% of the account’s red line, and cut losses immediately once an 8% loss is reached; he completely abandoned illusions of "perfect bottom fishing" or "precise top escaping," instead strictly following market trends—taking small long positions during upward cycles, small short positions during downward phases, never fighting the market. Once he accurately caught a trend reversal, his account grew by 6,000U in a single day.

What tests patience even more is how he handles profits: whenever his account makes a profit, he only reinvests 10% of the gains back into the market, with the remaining 90% transferred to his bank account. His logic is simple—"Crypto markets aren’t afraid of slow growth; what’s most feared is greed devouring all the principal."

The core of this method, frankly, is **controlling your greed**.

He later shared this risk management framework with other traders who had experienced losses. Some, by strictly following this logic, climbed from a dilemma of 2,000U to 8,000U; others avoided total wipeout by timely stop-loss suggestions, escaping a risk of losing everything.

The true winners in the crypto market are never those who get rich overnight through a single big win—they are those who can discipline themselves to follow trading rules, manage positions, and control emotions. Master yourself, and you can truly win the future.

This story sounds true, but I've seen too many stories of turning 3,600 into 100,000 to recover the investment. The key point is that discipline really saves lives. But to be honest, most people can't even achieve the 10% withdrawal step; greed will consume everything. The 8% stop-loss strategy indeed works, but it depends on whether anyone can actually execute it... This guy has good insight; others would have gone all-in long ago.

Honestly, discipline sounds simple, but very few people actually stick to it... Turning 3600U into ten times that is not luck; it's truly overcoming the mental barrier.

Alright, this story really moved me, but to be honest, I couldn't hold back during the part from 360,000 to 3,600... However, there's definitely some skill in recovering losses, and I need to copy down the 8% stop-loss trick.

Really, the most heartbreaking part of stories like this isn't how much he made back, but that he finally understood — greed in the crypto world is like slow-acting poison. Stop-loss and withdrawing funds are really that simple, but unfortunately 99% of people can't do it, including me.

To be honest, this story made me a bit uncomfortable... I believe the part where 360,000 lost to 3,600, but ten times 3,600? How much self-control would it take not to go all-in?

Basically, it all comes down to discipline, nothing else. I've seen too many people lose everything after a big win.
