I once owed a huge debt and set a six-month goal for myself. It’s not about gambling big; honestly, I was pushed to a point where there was no way out.



During that time, I realized a crucial thing: people in debt are not mainly afraid of slow earning speed, but of repeating the same mistakes.

So my first step was not to figure out how to make huge profits, but to focus on how to survive.

What exactly did I do? I fixed a few of the most critical flaws:

In the past, I was an emotional trader—adding to positions when anxious, holding on tightly when prices dropped. After accumulating debt, I reversed that—first stop-loss, then think about profit. I limited myself to 2 to 3 trades per week, choosing the direction of larger timeframes, preferring to miss opportunities rather than make wrong moves. Before entering each trade, I would think carefully about the worst-case loss.

Gradually, my account started to recover. It wasn’t a sudden surge, but the feeling of “not making mistakes every day.” Once the principal stabilized, I dared to increase my position size, but with one condition—only when the rhythm was right and I was confident.

Over half a year, I paid off my debts one by one. Honestly, it wasn’t luck; it was discipline.

The core message in the crypto world is: turning around debt isn’t about being brave; it’s about who can persist, stay calm, and execute properly. That’s my current mindset, sharing with everyone. I can’t guarantee you’ll get rich overnight, but at least you can avoid falling into deeper pits.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most people fail in execution. I used to trade based on emotions too, and now I see those as foolish moves. Stop-loss is truly a lifesaver, but honestly, very few people actually implement it.

You're right, emotional trading is really the biggest killer. I was previously liquidated because of it.

Basically, it's about living cautiously enough; many people in the crypto world die because of greed.

It sounds good, but it really depends on how long you can stick with it. Most people can't make it past the second month.

Really, you're absolutely right about stop-loss. I used to hold on stubbornly, and in the end, I lost everything. Now I understand that discipline is the key to survival.
