Crypto is not about who makes the most money, but who can survive the longest.

The most memorable moment was that late-night call, the other person's voice trembling: "Only $1,400 left in the account, if this continues, I have to withdraw." Looking at his liquidation record, I was reminded of those familiar patterns—hotheadedly going all-in in a moment of passion, crashing when the market drops.

I set three rules for him: First, split the account into ten parts, using no more than 10% of the position at a time; Second, don't aim for instant wealth, focus on turning things around; Third, always communicate any operation in advance.

The results came out: a 36% profit in three days, and the account grew to $54,000 in a month. It looked like cheating.

But the story didn't end there. On day 28, he said he wanted to teach others. On day 34, he secretly heavily invested in a small coin, and ultimately lost 43%. On day 36, I deleted his number. This isn't an exception; such scenes are repeated every day in the crypto world.

**How do people truly turn things around**

I've seen people go from losing $50,000 to negative, to finally reaching $20 million. They don't have any magic tricks—just four words: understand the white paper, hold during bull markets, endure during bear markets, and take out the principal once earning 50%.

The secret to rolling positions isn't about rolling profits, but about rolling your mindset. The guy who eventually accumulated an $80 million asset told me he almost lost everything during the crash on 3/12, but he survived thanks to a year of "self-discipline imprisonment"—watching the market for 16 hours daily, with strict stop-loss and take-profit settings, almost never leaving his room.

The truth is: discipline tames probability, patience fights greed.
