In the crypto world, those who truly turn their fortunes around often possess an "counterintuitive" quality. The ability to endure long-term volatility, resist temptation, and stay calm when most are frantic—these are the keys.



Many beginners, holding just a few hundred or a thousand dollars, think about short-term doubling. But what they’re actually stepping into isn’t an investment market; it’s a high-probability game of chance. The data is clear: 99.9% of people will be wiped out within a month. It sounds brutal, but that’s the reality.

I’ve seen a beginner start with 900U, and in five months, grow it to 30,000U. Now, their account is stable above 45,000U, and they’ve never been liquidated during that time. I also started with 10,000U and achieved relatively stable profits. There’s nothing mysterious behind it—just three solid strategies.

**First Trick: Divide your funds into three parts—survive first, then make money**

How to split 900U? 300U for intraday trading, taking profits of 3% each time and then stopping—never greedy; another 300U dedicated to catching trend moves, only acting when big opportunities appear, aiming for over 15% returns; the remaining 300U is sealed off, avoiding the most tempting market moves.

Going all-in at the start? That’s why most people quickly get out. Remember this logic: surviving is more important than making money.

**Second Trick: Wait for clear trends, don’t mess around**

70% of the market time is just chaotic fluctuation. Frequent trading during this period only pays transaction fees. Don’t enter without a clear direction, don’t act impulsively without confirmed signals. Wait for a breakout, wait for confirmation—only trade when the odds are high.

Profit equals 25% of your principal? Take some profits off the table first, let the rest run. Less trading, more watching the market—think carefully before acting.

**Third Trick: Discipline is your moat**

Set a hard stop-loss per trade: no more than 2% of your principal. Cut losses at the set point—no bargaining. After earning 5%, withdraw half of the profit, and set a breakeven stop-loss for the remaining position. After a loss, never add to your position to average down—that’s the fast track to deep losses for most people.

You won’t always be able to predict the right direction, but discipline allows you to survive when you’re wrong and hold when you’re right. This is the fundamental logic for sustainable profits.

Focus on mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as promising ones like SUI and SOL. The core isn’t about betting on which coin will rise, but whether you have your own trading system.
BTC-0,95%
ETH-1,43%
SUI-2,43%
SOL-1,62%

Looking at articles like this, 99.9% of people will still go all-in. Honestly, greed is something that can't be controlled at all. I have deep experience with the strategy of adding positions to average down—it's a painful lesson, brother. Dividing funds into three parts is indeed a reliable tactic, but it depends on whether someone can really stick it out. Without discipline, even the best strategies are useless. The ones who survive around me are all those who die boringly. Those who truly make money never boast in groups; only those who lose money come out every day to give lessons.

Discipline is really on point, but honestly, most people can't stick with it for more than two weeks.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but few can truly stick to it until they make money.

Honestly, this set of theories sounds great, but I haven't seen many people actually stick to it. Dividing funds into three parts is okay, but the key is that most people simply can't resist the temptation of that 300U. Discipline moat? Laughs. As soon as the market gets crazy, it immediately breaks down. However, the idea of buying low and selling high is indeed more reliable than going all-in. Taking it slow is better than rushing to death. The figure that 99.9% are wiped out sounds a bit exaggerated, doesn't it? Is it true or not? Getting the right direction is important, but stop-loss is even more critical. He didn't get that wrong.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but very few people can truly stick to it. Most people are defeated by the words "greed."

900U five months to 45,000, this data really can be shocking... but I still think most people give up after the second month, so don't boast. Watching the trend is important, but more importantly, don't self-hypnotize when losing money. Saying "hold long-term" will turn things around is mostly fooling yourself. I agree that survival comes first, but discipline is easy to talk about and hard to practice. A 99.9% clearance in one month? I think you might as well be more optimistic; a panic can come even faster. Beginners should not think about doubling in the short term. Start practicing with small amounts; losses are the best teachers. Dividing funds into three parts is actually a gamble on probability. When luck is good, it's great; when luck is bad, it’s just as painful. In short, the crypto world is an emotional game—see who can hold on without being washed out.

900U in five months to 45,000? Just listen, only a rare few can truly achieve it... But that three-part method is somewhat interesting, it really tests human nature, most people can't withstand it. I've also tried the strategy of dispersing funds before, but the result was still frequent impulsive actions... Discipline is easy to talk about. People who want to double a few hundred bucks are not even qualified to enter the crypto world, there's no doubt about that. Which is harder: choosing the right direction or having discipline? I feel both are difficult...
