Making money in crypto isn't about racking up wins or avoiding every loss. That's the rookie trap.
The real game? Risk management and keeping your head straight when the charts go wild. You can be right 70% of the time and still blow up your account if you're overleveraging on emotions. Meanwhile, someone with a 40% win rate and iron discipline walks away profitable.
Position sizing beats prediction. Emotional control beats technical wizardry. Master those two, and the P&L takes care of itself.

That's right, I was the fool with a 70% win rate who still got wiped out. Using too much leverage is really a form of self-destruction.

A 70% win rate still results in liquidation; I have deep experience with this... Leverage really is the devil.

A 40% win rate still makes a profit—that's the difference... I used to be that unlucky person with a 70% win rate but ended up bankrupt.

Honestly, I've seen stories of 70% win rates ending in liquidation many times. Unfortunately, many people just can't change this bad habit.

Don't focus on that superficial win rate; the key is just two words—survive.

You're right, brother. I used to be that kind of fool who chased win rates, and as a result, I lost everything in a single all-in. Now I realize that staying alive is more important than winning beautifully.
