Hey guys, every time I open messages, someone asks me "Is there any coin that can double overnight?" or "Help me pick a guaranteed profitable target." Honestly, I feel quite helpless about this. I've been in this circle for 8 years, and I've seen over 100 investors who actually made money—none of them got rich by "gambling." Instead, those who are constantly trying to "get rich quickly" are mostly losing everything. Today, I want to analyze a few different success stories and share some risk control techniques that ordinary people can use. Honestly, the top crypto investors are all secretly managing risks at their core.

Let me start with a real story. A loyal fan of mine, who comes from a traditional business background, first encountered cryptocurrency in 2021. At that time, the market was extremely bullish, and everyone was chasing high prices. But he didn’t follow the herd; instead, he was quite rational: he allocated 5% of his idle funds to test the waters, choosing only the two mainstream coins—Bitcoin and Ethereum—allocating 60% to Bitcoin and 40% to Ethereum. His logic was simple—only invest what he could afford to lose, and he definitely wouldn’t touch small coins or air coins.

In 2022, the bear market hit, and Bitcoin and Ethereum both fell over 60%. His account was in the red. But because he invested only idle funds and didn’t use leverage, he wasn’t panicked. He gradually bought back in several batches with his idle funds, lowering his average cost. When the 2023 bull market rebounded, his position’s return soared to 120%. He took profits in time and exited, ultimately earning more than 2 million yuan.

This case shows a truth: for beginners, playing with mainstream coins might not seem as "exciting," but the risks are manageable. As long as the cycle moves in the right direction, the returns can be quite substantial.

Wake up, still doubling in your dreams. Luckily, your capital woke you up. That's why I only deal with mainstream coins. Small coins, go away. Over 2 million, it's not luck at all, but having survived the 2022 wave. Many people have it backwards; risk management is the real secret to wealth. Trying a 5% test is how I do it too. The money I earned later was even more stable. The truth is, no one can get rich overnight. Those hype stories are all after-the-fact armchair quarterbacks. I've never been good at taking profits; it's easy to be greedy. Your example really opened my eyes. Idle funds are truly the key. So many people put their living expenses into it—no wonder they go bankrupt. Only by not using leverage can you sleep well. I've seen too many tragic cases of margin calls and liquidation.

This time, finally hearing some sense. Bitcoin and Ethereum dead-locked is really enough. --- I've already realized that trying 5% of idle funds on this move, but people around me just won't listen. --- Over 2 million is a bit of a dead end, but anyway I can't make money either, so better to learn not to lose first. --- The key is that most people won't even wait for the 2023 wave; they'll be trapped and killed in the bear market. --- So, really, the true experts are actually just "holding steady," not some geniuses.

Reliable old brother is right, I've seen too many people pursue overnight riches only to get liquidated immediately. To put it simply, it's a mindset issue; greed is the biggest killer in crypto. Trying 5% as a test is indeed comfortable, but I still prefer to be a bit more aggressive haha. The premise of idle funds is too crucial; many people haven't understood this point. That example of 2 million might be a bit exaggerated, but the idea is indeed worth sharing. Taking profits and cutting losses are always the hardest, and I personally never do them well. The best moment in a mainstream coin bear market is really when you catch the bottom, just worried about not having any bullets left. This set of theories may sound dull, but it really helps you survive the longest.

That's right, those who seek quick profits are really just asking for trouble. I've seen too many tragedies of overnight wealth dreams shattering over the past few years. Bro, this 5% testing + mainstream coin strategy is indeed stable, but the process of testing human nature is too tough. The bottom-line brothers are still waiting for the doubling coins, unaware that they are already on the way to 2 million. I need to remember this approach; it's much more reliable than those calling signals. Risk management is the real secret to wealth, but unfortunately no one wants to hear about it.

Really, those shouting about doubling overnight are just leek preparation teams Trying this with 5% idle funds has been my approach for a while, but it’s a bit boring Honestly, the bear market is the best time to pick up bargains, but unfortunately most people are too scared Listening to over 2 million sounds great, but he just got lucky with the cycle, luck also plays a big part Mainstream coins are just mainstream coins, I won’t touch small coins no matter how tempting they are, this is a lesson learned Leverage is truly a nightmare, many smart people have fallen for it Taking profit and exiting is the hardest part, greed is human nature, knowing it is easy, doing it is hard

You're right, it's all about controlling risk and not constantly thinking about getting rich overnight—that's a trap. Really, many people lose everything because they want to double their money quickly. Trying 5% for testing + mainstream coins is indeed a stable approach, but execution is the hardest part. The idea of adding to positions during a bear market is good, but most people keep cutting losses during a bear market. There are too few clear-headed investors; everyone just wants to make quick money by luck. The number of over 2 million may seem insignificant, but the mindset of holding positions is the key. Avoiding leverage is truly a survival strategy; many people ruin themselves because of it. Mainstream coins are indeed boring, but staying alive is more important than excitement. The key is to have idle funds; most people simply don't have that condition. The ability to judge cycles is a hundred times more important than choosing coins; this can't be learned overnight.
