Having spent so many years in the crypto world, I've seen too many bizarre stories.



Some hold onto the obsession of "turning around and cashing out" and stubbornly fight against contracts, staring at K-line charts with eyes glued to the screen at 3 a.m., their eye sockets red; some chase after "inside information" and go all-in on unknown projects, fantasizing about waking up the next day to tenfold gains; others pour their mortgage, car loan, and even online loan money into the market, treating crypto as the only secret to wealth.

And then? The ending has long been written.

Leverage liquidation, assets wiped out overnight in despair; air coins run away, leaving no place to seek rights protection; chasing after rises and falls, repeatedly cutting, the more they trade, the more their accounts shrink. The crypto world is not short of legends of sudden wealth, but 99% of these "miracles" are essentially scams to harvest retail investors.

To be honest: aiming to steadily double your assets in the crypto world is actually much harder than those crazy dreams of sudden wealth, but it’s also more reliable.

People who can make steady, long-term profits in crypto never rely on luck or gambling instincts. They don’t follow the trend chasing hot spots; instead, they spend time researching the fundamentals of projects. They don’t put all their assets in; instead, they invest with spare money, buying in batches. They don’t let daily price swings turn them into emotional rollercoasters; instead, they stick to discipline—taking profits when it’s time, cutting losses when needed.

Do they make doubling their assets look easy? That’s because they’ve endured. They’ve survived the overwhelming temptations during the bull market, the panic and despair during the bear market, and the endless psychological torment of long sideways trading. Take 2022, for example, when Bitcoin repeatedly hovered around $20,000—how many couldn’t resist cutting losses and fleeing? But those who gritted their teeth and kept investing steadily, they were the ones who reaped real doubling gains in the subsequent market.

Crypto is not a casino; it’s a testing ground for cognition and discipline. Those who start shouting about getting rich overnight are often the ones who are about to suffer the worst losses.

That really hits home. The group I was in during 2022 was the one that stubbornly kept investing through dollar-cost averaging. Looking back, those days were truly a psychological battle, but if you can control the losses well, there's still a chance to survive.

To be honest, I've seen too many people wipe out overnight, so now when I see someone shouting about getting rich quickly, I just ignore it. DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) really tests your mindset. I also persisted through 2022, and only now am I seeing some return of the principal. My friends have long since left. The key is to admit that you're just a retail investor. Don't always think about counter-trading to make big money.

That's so true. The friends around me who got rich overnight through leverage have all disappeared now. It's all about mindset. Honestly, during those three years of dollar-cost averaging, I never looked at the candlestick charts. Those who stayed up late watching the market didn't end well. I've seen too many cases.
