Post-90s, in crypto, owes 920,000 yuan, now assets exceed 10 million.
Sounds great, right? But I have to be honest—this path is not at all enjoyable.
The worst period was when, every day, the first thing I did upon waking was not to check the market, but to do mental calculations: how much do I need to repay today, how many days can I hold on, how can I recover the losses with a market surge.
All the inevitable has happened: The more anxious I was, the more I lost money. The more I relied on luck, the more the market beat me. Heavy positions, all-in bets, placing orders based on feelings... Eventually, I didn't even have the courage to open the trading app.
What truly turned things around was not a big rally, but finally facing myself: I'm not a prodigy, I can't afford to gamble on luck.
From that day on, I changed my approach. If I can't see through the market, I simply stay out of the market. For every trade, I first calculate the worst-case loss in points, then consider how much I can earn. Always leave an escape route in your position, never trap yourself.
At first, it was indeed slow, slow as crawling. But you will clearly feel that the asset curve starts to smooth out, and your mind is less tossed around by the market.
That sense of stability is more valuable than any paper gains.
When a market turn appears, good opportunities are right in front of you. I dare to act because I already thought about how to get out. Segmented profit-taking, gradually locking in gains, step by step reducing risk. Then you'll find, the snowball just keeps getting bigger.
Looking back now, it's not the crypto world that gave me something, but that I learned how to survive longer. The market only favors those who are well-prepared.

It's easy to say, but the core is just two words—longevity. I have also gone through that dazed period, praying daily for the market to save me, only to find myself sinking deeper. Now I understand clearly that 99% of people in the crypto world fail because of their mentality, not their skills, really.

This guy is right, living longer is truly the winner, not a dream of getting rich overnight.

Bro, this summary is amazing, it really hits the mark. But to be honest, the part about 920,000 hurt a bit to watch—how many people get stuck on the demon of "having to make a comeback"? The last sentence is the real wisdom—living a long life is worth much more than making quick money.
