Trading for ten years, thirty-six now, my net worth is still decent. Currently on a business trip staying at a hotel, I basically don't consider anything below 2,000. I'm not showing off, just stating reality.

Look around at peers of the same age, most are still struggling in traditional businesses and caught in the cycle of involution. This risky path, I think it’s worth it.

Ten years ago, I saw through a truth—relying on dead-end jobs to achieve social mobility is almost impossible. So I decided to go all in, pouring all my savings into trading. This isn’t a smart decision, but a brutal survival race: liquidation, wiping out, missing out, FOMO… I’ve avoided every pitfall. Surviving until now with some accumulation is all thanks to these painful lessons.

Having experienced bull and bear markets over ten years, I’ve gradually figured out that technical analysis isn’t the ultimate key; the real lifeline is the discipline to "stay alive."

My rule is simple: don’t be greedy where concealment is needed, and don’t hesitate when it’s time to strike.

The market is full of classic traps. Rapid rise followed by slow decline? Don’t chase—it's the big players pulling and dumping, just waiting for you to buy in. Small rebounds after a sharp drop? Don’t rush to buy the dip—often it’s just a pause in the decline, designed to trap those hoping to get a bargain.

A sudden surge in volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean the end; it might be the last push. But a steady, gentle rise at high levels with sluggish trading is the real warning sign—liquidity is drying up, and if you don’t exit, you’ll be nailed at the top. When volume starts to pick up at the bottom, stay calm—it might be another trap to lure in buyers. True opportunities require sustained volume combined with stable prices for confirmation.

Ultimately, trading coins is an emotional game.

Market trends are really a reflection of human psychology, which is hidden in candlesticks and volume. When you’re passionate and feel that not buying means missing out on a billion, nine times out of ten, the other side is preparing to retreat completely; when you’re scared and want to cut your losses and run, they might be quietly accumulating.

This market always harvests the same people: those who can’t control their hands, and those who cling to the hope of a big turnaround.

I don’t think I have any special talent. The only lesson I’ve learned over ten years is continuous self-correction. Making money isn’t about luck; it’s about countless midnight reviews, painful pitfalls, and iterative strategies. As long as you’re still chasing news, following trends, and dreaming of a comeback, you won’t last half a year in this market.

Opportunities in the crypto world are never lacking; what’s missing are those who can see through and master the opportunities.

In the past, I fought blindly in the dark, but now I hold a light in my hand.
