#以太坊大户持仓变化 Crypto Survival Rules: Your true opponent is actually yourself
Having been in this market for so many years, I’ve deeply experienced what “being at the end of the rope” means — two years ago, I almost lost all my principal, dropping from the peak of my account to less than 30%. That sleepless feeling still lingers in my memory.
After repeatedly taking hits, I finally figured out a way to live. Although it’s not stable profit, it definitely helps avoid most traps.
You’ll find that the most common vicious cycle for retail investors is like this: when prices fall, they stubbornly hold on, hoping to break even; when prices rise, they rush to sell, fearing profits will evaporate. Actually, the opposite approach should be taken — when the trend is good, have the courage to hold, and when it breaks important support, cut losses and exit. Follow the principle of “let winning trades run long enough, and cut losing trades quickly,” so you can avoid most risks.
Watching trading volume is as crucial as taking a pulse: shrinking volume but still trending upward indicates room for growth; breaking support and then consolidating on low volume? That’s often smart money lurking.
Don’t be greedy trying to diversify all at once. Two or three high-quality assets are enough; spreading your funds too thin can mess up your strategy. Also, a detail — a sudden surge at the end of the trading session is often a trap for tomorrow’s opening, and short-term sharp drops often have rebound potential.
The market actually follows certain patterns. Compared to obsessing over the direction itself, following the trend is more important. For short-term cycles, watch the short-term moving averages; for long-term cycles, stick to the mid-term moving averages. If it breaks, move on — don’t fight it.
For popular coins, as long as trading activity and popularity remain, they tend to rebound after being hammered down. Focus on opportunities with enough upside and a relatively high success rate.
And the most critical point: after riding a good wave, definitely go to cash and stay calm. The market loves to harvest those who get carried away. When losing, don’t fight it blindly — wait until the crowd’s enthusiasm picks up again before re-entering.
Honestly, this game tests patience — sticking to the rules, waiting for the right opportunities, resisting temptation.
Opportunities are never scarce; the real challenge is controlling yourself. Over the years, I’ve finally understood: the fiercest enemy in crypto isn’t the market itself, but the greed and fear within human nature.

That's right, I used to be the kind of person who got carried away with gains, but I ended up getting completely wiped out. Now I've learned to stay in cash and stay calm, and it feels much better.

Laughing and then crying, as if I could control myself, I got hammered again at the end of yesterday's trading session. Truly unbelievable.

That's so true. After making a lot of money, taking a step back and staying calm is something I deeply understand. Last time, I got completely wiped out and lost two months' salary.

Made money and got cocky, that's when you get wrecked. This really hits home—I've flipped like this so many times.

Making a profit means you should close your position; this really hits home. I only understand this after being harvested myself. Now I prefer to miss out rather than be greedy.
