I am not writing this post to boast about my results, nor to mythologize crypto. This is a story about Discipline, Emotional Control, and Risk Management – the things that helped me survive long enough to have a chance to improve my life after years of hustle.
I used to be a salaried worker, struggling with

In the crypto market, many newcomers with limited capital pursue quick riches but face significant losses due to poor risk management. This essay outlines three essential principles for successful trading with small amounts: only use a portion of capital per trade, take profits gradually, and rely on compound gains through disciplined trading. The emphasis is on surviving and adapting rather than seeking instant wealth, highlighting the importance of risk control and steady growth.

June 2025, the crypto market falls into what I call a "collective madness" state. Prices spike and then crash sharply, with green and red candles intertwined like a knife, most investors caught in a vortex of greed – fear – stop-loss – regret.
As for me, on the contrary. Amidst that storm, I remain calm and take action.

In a post on X this week, Musk predicted a "double-digit growth" within the next 12 to 18 months, and also suggested that the US GDP could even grow "three digits" over the next 5 years if advancements in applied artificial intelligence are translated into actual economic output.

I entered the crypto market in 2017, during a true "all-in" moment. At that time, Bitcoin was only around a few hundred dollars, and I used all my savings from two years to make a down payment on a house and go all-in. Just over a year later, my account grew so much that I thought I had touched financial freedom.

I have been involved with Bitcoin since 2016, when the price was still very low compared to now. Like most newcomers, I entered the market with the illusion of "changing my life overnight." As expected, within three months, I lost nearly half of my capital. Buying on the rise and panic selling on the decline,

Three years ago, I entered the crypto market with exactly 10,000 U, trading while feeling anxious. No mentor, no private group, no "insider information." Three years later, the figures in my account have changed completely. The only thing that hasn't changed is my approach to the market: slow, disciplined, and highly respectful of risk.

Many people hold a few million to tens of millions of VND, rushing into the crypto market with the dream of "changing their lives overnight." The result is familiar: in less than a few weeks, their accounts are left with only a small balance, and their mindset is anxious, impatient, and lost.
I don't blame them. Because I have also been through it.

Having been deeply involved in the crypto market for many years, I have seen too many people chasing the dream of "getting rich overnight" by rushing into the futures market, only to leave silently with their accounts wiped out. Today, I want to speak frankly and honestly about a trap that seems simple but is extremely dangerous.

Looking at the flashing numbers on the screen, your hands might sweat, but your mind must remain absolutely calm. That calmness doesn't come naturally — it is earned with real money, real mistakes, and real sleepless nights.
I used to be exactly like many people just starting out.

The decline of $ASTER highlights the importance of independent research over following trends driven by public figures. Many investors ignored early warnings and relied on hype, leading to losses. The lesson emphasizes personal risk assessment and skepticism about celebrity endorsements in crypto.

In a tumultuous year, Bitcoin's price ended only slightly different from its start, surprising many. After a rough beginning and a summer recovery, the market's indecisiveness led to high volatility without clear direction, emphasizing the importance of patience for investors.

The current crypto market is in a state of exhaustion regarding the “narrative” (. It's not because the technology has reached its end, but because the second-phase mission of this industry, at least for now, is almost unattainable.
The first-phase mission of crypto has actually been

The upcoming Bitcoin options expiration marks a record $24 billion, potentially leading to market volatility. Despite recent ETF withdrawals affecting liquidity, Bitcoin's price remains stable. Market sentiment is cautious but not panicked, indicating a possible short squeeze or an intensified decline depending on ETF fund flows post-expiration.
