In 2020, I was 25 years old with 60,000 yuan in my pocket. At that time, most people around me chose bank deposits, but I made a different decision—diving directly into the crypto world and starting a long-term dialogue with digital assets.

Over five years, from a small retail investor to assets exceeding 40 million yuan by May 2025, the ups and downs are enough to write a book. Today, I want to share what I’ve learned, hoping to inspire you.

**Fund Management is the Lifeline**

The biggest lesson is not to invest everything at once. My habit is to divide my money into five parts and only operate with one part each time. What’s the benefit of doing this? It keeps my mindset stable. I also set a strict rule—if losses reach 10%, I withdraw, no negotiations. Losing 10% five times means a 50% loss, but the gains can be much more. Staying calm when caught in a downturn helps me realize I won’t die from it.

**Trend Is More Important Than Prediction**

When the market falls, don’t think about bottom-fishing—that’s a gambler’s game. True buying opportunities appear during pullbacks in an uptrend. Entering at these points is much safer than waiting for the bottom. Follow the trend, using daily charts, 30-day, 84-day, and 120-day moving averages to confirm direction—whichever line turns upward, I follow that trend.

**Choosing Coins Matters**

I try to avoid those mainstream coins or altcoins that surge wildly. Fast-rising assets often have large pullbacks and are easy to get trapped in. Picking coins requires some insight—don’t follow the herd out of curiosity.

**Technical Indicators and Trading Volume**

MACD is a tool I often use. When DIF and DEA cross below zero and then break above zero, it’s a buy signal; when they cross below zero from above, consider reducing your position. Also, trading volume is especially important—when the price breaks out at low levels with increased volume, it often signals a big opportunity knocking.

**Adding Positions Is a Trap**

I’ve fallen into this trap before. Adding to a losing position? The more you add, the more you lose, and in the end, you might not even break even. Remember this logic: cut losses when needed, only add when profitable. The order must not be reversed.

The crypto market indeed has uncertainties and risks, but opportunities exist as well. The key is to have a clear understanding of the risks, stay rational and calm, and use steady strategies to handle every market fluctuation.
