What does the most authentic crypto world look like? It’s often not those overwhelming profit screenshots.

The truth is—someone dares to share their loss stories.

I am that person.

During the 2022 bear market, I lost a full 680,000. $ETH kept falling from its high, and my account shrank along with it. Insomnia until 4 a.m. became the norm, I had already deleted my social circles, felt unconfident talking to my family, and even meeting friends outside became a challenge. The most extreme moment— I didn’t even dare to open the trading app. Just clicking on the app icon made my heart race.

How desperate was I? It was that feeling: the whole world turned gray.

The turning point came from a sentence. One boring afternoon, I saw: "Losing money is just the beginning; holding on is the end." Just this sentence, like someone pulled me out of the abyss.

I sat back at my computer. Looking at the remaining 3500 USDT in my account, I told myself: This isn’t life-saving money; it’s my ticket to restart.

This time, I decided to do things differently. No gambling, no all-in, no following the crowd.

I started reviewing. Re-examining every foolish move I made before: no stop-loss, heavy positions, frequent coin switching, being driven by emotions. To put it plainly, that wasn’t trading; that was rolling dice.

Later, I set a simple set of "stupid rules." The rules are simple, but simplicity equals stability:

**Only act on understandable market conditions.** If you don’t understand the candlestick patterns, no matter how tempting, don’t touch.

**Take profit at 5%-10%.** Don’t wait for the last bite; that’s often a trap.

**Stop-loss is always online.** It’s not optional; it’s mandatory.

I split the 3500 USDT into two accounts: one to hold, one to hunt the most certain opportunities.

In the first week—my account grew to 5200 USDT.

In the second week—it broke 10,000.

By the sixth week—my account had over 50,000.

That moment, I sat there dazed for half an hour. Not because of how much I made, but because for the first time I believed—I really could turn it around.

I don’t have any special talent. Nor insider information. I follow the news and predictions just like everyone else for $FHE’s ups and downs. What I rely on is the rhythm of "stability, no chaos, no greed."

Most people lose money in the crypto world because of one word: **chaos**.

Market chaos leads to a chaotic mind. A chaotic mind leads to useless hands. Every decision in the account becomes impulsive spending. Small capital? That’s not the problem. Chaos is the real poison.

From 3500 USDT to now, I don’t have any secret. Just living enough to be "not smart"—not predicting black swans, not chasing quick riches, only trading within the risks I can bear and the returns I can grasp.

If you’re still exploring in the crypto world, unable to see the logic of the market, or struggling in the quagmire of losses—try this approach. It may not be aggressive enough, but it’s enough to keep you alive and get out.
