(Disclaimer: The following is a personal experience summary, not investment advice)

After being in this market for so many years, I’ve noticed a phenomenon: people who make money don’t necessarily live the longest, and those who live the longest are often the most cautious. Eight years ago, I invested 50,000 yuan, and now my account holds over 5,000 coins—some say this is luck, but I believe there’s a systematic way of living behind it. Today, I want to share what I’ve learned over the years, hoping to help those who genuinely want to survive until the next bull market.

**Position Management: Saving money is more important than making money**

In my early days, I also made the foolish mistake of going all-in at once, almost losing sleep during a sudden crash. Later, I forced myself to change—divide the principal into 5 parts, only move one part at a time. For example, with 100,000 yuan, only invest 20,000 per trade, with a 10% stop-loss. This way, even if I make 5 wrong calls in a row, I still have 90,000 yuan left; conversely, if I’m right, profits can keep rolling in. This isn’t cowardice; it’s leaving myself a way out. There are plenty of opportunities in the market; the key is to survive until those opportunities truly arrive.

**Trend is the ultimate rule**

Some people love "bottom fishing," but they often do so halfway through. My approach is the opposite: during declines, rebounds are often traps; during rises, pullbacks are genuine opportunities. Don’t fight the market—trading with the trend is much simpler.

**Control FOMO**

The most common scenario: a certain coin surges short-term, and many ask if they can chase. The answer is—don’t touch it. No matter how tempting a rapid rise is, you must resist.
