Having been in the crypto space for ten years, the first six mainly involved paying tuition fees. Now, my account is stable at the tens of millions level, and the deepest insight I have is one sentence: survive first, then make money.



Many people ask why they can't make money. The problem is quite straightforward—weak risk control awareness and chaotic capital management. I've seen too many accounts that go all-in on a single coin, losing from 300,000 to 20,000, then rushing back in to catch the rebound. This is not trading; it's gambling.

Recently, the market has indeed been very volatile. A few days ago, I seized the opportunity with TNSR and safely pocketed 2 million in a single trade. During last year's EVAA cycle, my old followers who were with me in the trenches are still sitting on about 400 times unrealized gains. From COAI to EVAA, there have been many good opportunities over the past two years, but the premise has always been the same—strict discipline constraints.

The bull market is the easiest to have problems because the profit effect can cloud judgment. The bear market, on the other hand, tests your mentality because everyone is cutting losses. True winners are not based on luck or insider information but on discipline and understanding human nature. Protect your capital, stay true to your original intention—that's enough.

When the next cycle comes, those with patience will feel very comfortable.
TNSR0,97%
EVAA-4,84%
COAI-6,7%

All in that wave is truly a tragedy, my friend just went from a million loss to a hundred thousand.

The phrase about paying tuition for the first six years really hits home for me as well, but my lesson from going all in last time is that I couldn't recover directly. I believe in the account stability of 10 million, but I believe even more in the saying "survive first"; too many people die in the joy of a bull run. I was in that TNSR trade as well, but I wasn't as decisive as you; my discipline just isn't strong enough.

It sounds like nonsense, but that's really how it is—discipline is worth more than anything.

nah, the real move is timing the mempool like timing market cycles... discipline is just optimizing your execution window, fr fr

Paying tuition fees for the first six years haha, I've been paying interest for the past ten years... But to be honest, going all-in like that is indeed playing with fire. I've seen too many people lose everything in one go.

I totally understand the wave of paying tuition fees over the past six years. Now looking at those who go all-in, it's like seeing myself back in the day.

It took six years of paying tuition to realize, I believe. I'm just afraid that most people don't make it through the first six years.

There's nothing wrong with that, but execution is difficult. Most people understand it but still can't control their impulses.
