Many people entering the crypto world often ask the same question—are there relatively safe ways to participate?

Instead of discussing advanced models or trading techniques, it's better to see how those who have walked this path actually do it.

Eight years ago, I entered with less than 1000U, and mindset was very important—this money must be "allowing for mistakes." Not to turn things around, but to experiment and learn.

At that time, I set a few strict rules for myself. The loss range for each trade was calculated in advance; if it exceeded that, I would withdraw. As long as the account showed phased growth, I would take some profits and put them into a safe place. It sounds unexciting, but this approach ensures that a single fluctuation won't cause the account to spiral out of control.

As the funds slowly grew to around ten thousand dollars, the real problems began to surface.

Opportunities are not lacking; what’s missing is judgment.

Hotly trending coins may seem very tempting, but in reality, they may not be suitable for participation. Some coins that surged I chose to watch from the sidelines. At the time, I thought I was missing out, but looking back, their retracements were even more brutal. This is avoiding risk, and essentially, it’s also earning.

The biggest lesson in this market is: making fewer mistakes is itself a form of profit.

As the position size continues to grow, the challenge comes from within. Emotional fluctuations become more obvious—easily relaxed when making money, and unable to see clearly during market frenzy. Later, I developed a habit—regularly reviewing with others, reminding each other to stay rational. Once, during the craziest times, I exited in time, avoiding a significant plunge.

Only now do I realize that fund growth never depends on a perfect judgment once, but on long-term consistent execution.

How far you can go ultimately depends on two things: whether you are sufficiently clear-headed, and whether you truly stick to the rules.

There is no fast track in this path. It’s not about courage, but patience, rhythm, and self-discipline. To break through the current situation, you must focus on these fundamentals.
