#数字货币市场回升 Ten Years of Crypto Market Ups and Downs: Survival Rules from Being Half a Million in Debt to Having Over a Billion in Assets
Having been in this circle for a full ten years, my biggest realization is this — no matter how good the numbers on paper look, securing profits is the real truth.
The story begins in 2013. That year, my business collapsed, and I was in deep debt. I managed to scrape together 100,000 yuan and, with my eyes closed, bought more than a hundred Bitcoins. People around me thought I was crazy, saying I was gambling with my last lifeline.
The bull market four years later gave me the answer. On the day my account balance broke eight million in 2017, I was elated, feeling like the chosen one, and I started trading frequently, chasing gains and cutting losses, enjoying it immensely.
The market will educate every inflated person. In 2018, when the market turned, I watched helplessly as the funds shrank from eight million to just over one hundred; that feeling was like having a nightmare. After waking up, I understood a principle: no matter how high the numbers rise, if they are not realized, they are just symbols.
Since then, I set a strict rule for myself: withdraw the principal whenever the account increases by 50%, and mess around with the remaining profits. It's with this trick that I've gradually filled the hole, and now my assets have exceeded 50 million.
The market is always in cycles, but those who survive have their own amulets.

Why does this story sound so familiar... I got stuck in that 2018 wave too, and now I don't even dare to look at the screenshots from back then.

Oh man, I’ve already used that “withdraw 50% of your principal” trick to death. The key is having self-control, and most people just can’t do it. Back in 2018, I also dropped from eight figures to three figures—I can still remember that bittersweet feeling, haha.

Wow, this trap of 50% principal increase operation is really awesome, I'm just lacking this discipline right now.

This story is told well, but I still think that the 50% principal withdrawal strategy is a bit conservative. The key is really knowing when to decisively exit. No one can fully master this.

The frequent operations during that period were truly self-destructive. I've experienced it too; my account shrank by 90% and I was completely broken.

Really, I've seen too many people whose account numbers look great, and then a pullback wipes it all out. This guy's experience is not an isolated case, the key point is still that saying - lock in profits, everything else is just talk.

Haha, I'm also using this trap that increases the principal by 50%, it's really amazing... much more reliable than those who shout about ten times every day.
