The most important lesson before entering the crypto world—simply put, understand how much you can lose and which big track to tinker with. The two most common ways newbies get wiped out are: either gambling with living expenses or heading down the leverage road. Instead of that, it's better to use truly idle funds to try, start with small positions to learn the ropes, so you won't get stuck and have to pay debts later.
Don't be too greedy when choosing coins. Mainstream coins like #数字资产市场动态 and $BTC , which have consensus, may not be as exciting as small coins, but they are much more stable. Those fancy-packaged, daily hype coins and pyramid schemes—unless you're just paying tuition—are best avoided. Stories of overnight riches are always told, but no one promotes those who get wrecked.
Real risk control should be reflected in stop-losses. Before entering, decide at what point you'll exit if prices fall, and don't change your mind just because you feel sorry for your principal. Never add to losing positions to try to turn losses around—that's a common trick that turns small losses into big pits. Independent judgment is key; don't be led by rumors or blindly follow a big V's calls. Spend time learning basic candlestick analysis and understanding market rhythm—this is far better than blindly following trends.
In terms of trading strategies, short-term high-frequency trading is easily wiped out. Combining swing trading with dollar-cost averaging allows steady accumulation, and over time, you'll see the power of compound interest. Coins like $ETH with good liquidity are also worth paying attention to. The crypto journey is long—only by steady and solid steps can you go further.

Exactly right, the living expenses system should have been silenced long ago. I've seen too many people top up their positions so much that they end up selling their houses, and they just can't stop.

To be honest, I've heard this theory a hundred times before, but few people actually practice it. Newbies who gamble with their living expenses are being born every day, and no amount of persuasion can stop them.

actually the algorithmic risk-management framework outlined here is precisely what separates the signal from the noise in on-chain asset allocation... the hash value of disciplined entry/exit protocols, if you will. fascinating how most retail participants fail to grasp the topological implications of position sizing through a generative complexity lens

That's so true. Stop-loss is really the hardest to execute... Feeling sorry for the principal, I start to fantasize, and the more I do, the deeper I get into it.
