Born in the post-90s, immersed in the crypto world, I once owed 920,000 yuan in debt. Now, my assets are in the tens of millions. It sounds like a web novel, but I have to be honest—this journey is not glamorous at all.

In those years, the first thing I did every morning was not look at the charts, but do the math. Calculate how much I still need to pay today, how many days I can hold on, and how to turn my life around with a big market move.

What happened later? Two very simple words: the more anxious, the more loss.

The more I wanted to turn things around with luck, the more the market taught me a harsh lesson. Heavy positions, all-in bets, following the trend… eventually, I didn’t even have the courage to open the trading app. I was truly overwhelmed at that time.

What changed me wasn’t a big profit, but the day I finally admitted—I'm not a chosen one, I simply can’t win against luck.

From that moment on, I started pursuing "things I can be sure of."

Can't see through the trend? Just stay out of the market. This may sound conservative, but it really saved me. For every trade, I first consider the worst-case loss, then think about how much I can gain. Always leave an escape route for myself, never forcing myself into a dead end.

The initial speed was indeed slow. Slow as a snail crawling. But I could feel a clear change—my asset curve gradually became smoother, and my mindset was no longer driven by every minute fluctuation of the market.

That sense of stability, that sense of reassurance, is more comforting than any paper profit.

Later, the market really arrived. When the opportunity was right in front of me, I dared to trade more heavily because I had already planned how to retreat. Profit was taken in segments, risk was controlled in segments. Quietly, my account kept growing.

Looking back now, it wasn’t the crypto world that made me, but I learned to survive first. Survive, and then I had the chance to make money. The market ultimately rewards those who are already prepared.
