#美联储重启降息步伐 Last year I met a friend who works in traditional manufacturing. He works factory shifts around the clock, and takes home just over five thousand a month. His daily routine? Dormitory, cafeteria, workshop—the same three places, cycling through them every day, living like clockwork.

But even someone like him, who seemed to have no chance of turning things around, quietly made the equivalent of a whole year's salary in the crypto market last year.

How reckless was he at first? He'd chase the pump as soon as prices rose a bit, and couldn't bear to cut his losses when prices dropped; he'd take profit after making just two or three hundred, but stubbornly hold onto losses of two thousand. His account balance fluctuated wildly, and his emotions were even more volatile than the price charts.

Later, I talked to him: "Stop obsessing over what others are doing. Your own pace is what matters most. Set stop-losses when you need to."

After that, I helped him set a few strict rules:
Open at most 1-2 trades a day, only act when you're confident;
Always leave room in your positions, never go all-in hoping for a lucky break;
If you lose, stop trading—don't believe the nonsense about "one more try to break even."

At first, he found it hard to adjust, thinking this approach was too slow and wouldn't make quick money. I told him what he needed now wasn’t a get-rich-quick fantasy, but a stable source of income that could truly supplement his life.

Three months later, he reached out to me and said that following this strategy, he’d already saved up a year’s salary. His tone was completely different than before—calmer, more grounded, and less restless.

That’s when I realized—those who survive in this market are never the ones gambling it all, but the ones who know when to make a move and when to step back.

Many people treat the crypto market like a casino, but those who actually improve their lives through it rely not on luck, but on methodology and discipline.

If you want a piece of the pie in this market, remember these three words: steady, precise, decisive. Don’t rush to get rich, don’t stubbornly hold onto losing trades, and don’t get jealous of other people’s positions.

It’s true you might take some missteps on your own, but finding the right approach saves you a lot of tuition fees. Take Ethereum dropping to around 2700 not long ago—those who got in then are already up over 300 points. Opportunities like that don’t come every day, but as long as your rhythm is right, the market will always give you chances.
