#大户持仓动态 How much savings is enough to confidently say "long time no see" to friends?

At 38 years old, rooted in Shanghai, with 3 properties, 2 luxury cars, and assets exceeding eight figures. When I first entered the crypto world 8 years ago, I was a rookie like most people, experiencing margin calls, zeroing out, and falling into almost every trap. During the hardest days, even those around me left, and I could only numb myself with alcohol, living day by day in a daze.

I once wanted to give up. But then came the turning point—on March 12, 2018, during that "black swan" moment, I didn't get crushed but survived. That day, countless people went bankrupt and wiped out, but I saw something different. The market is like a crazy gamble, and the规律 is hidden within the madness.

Some turned 2000 yuan into a fortune of millions. I didn't have that luck, so I could only rely on persistence, review, and repeatedly temper my mindset to survive.

At first, I also thought it was all luck. But now that I’ve lived through it, I realize that a set of seemingly stupid but actually effective trading rules saved me:

**Rapid price surges followed by slow retracements? That’s the market manipulators harvesting.** The true top often appears at the moment of sudden sell-off after a crazy rally.

**After a flash crash, the rebound is slow? Don’t rush to buy the dip.** This is often the last trap, and investors who are greedy die the fastest.

**High volume at the top doesn’t necessarily mean the end; no volume can be even more dangerous.** Price with volume may still have room to rise; once volume suddenly shrinks, it’s often the quiet before the crash.

**Don’t rush to buy at the bottom even with volume; it must be sustained volume.** A single spike may be a scam; only continuous volume indicates a real breakout.

These lessons aren’t from books. Every one of them is earned through margin calls, review, and bloody lessons.

The game rules in the crypto world are brutally simple: most people are driven by greed, chasing gains and selling in panic, earning little and losing much. Those who truly make money are those who learn self-control and are not swayed by market noise.

Whether you can profit or not is never about luck, but about whether you can find your own rhythm.

Too many people, like I was back then, think they can turn losses around overnight. The more anxious they get, the more they fall into traps. Later, I finally understood: bull markets will come again, but the rhythm never stops for anyone.

After surviving that darkest moment, I truly learned: growth isn’t about running faster, but about learning to light a lamp in the darkness and keep walking.

The opportunities in Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts and spot trading are always there. The key is to wait for the market to give a signal and act decisively.
