#数字资产生态回暖 $BTC $ETH, from a monthly salary of 20,000-30,000 to a net worth of 38.51 million in a comeback

I am from Guangdong, 38 years old, and I only started exploring the crypto market in early 2017. Back then, my idea was simple—it's too difficult to buy a house in Guangzhou with just a salary, earning only 20,000-30,000 a month, saving for a down payment seemed impossible in a lifetime. It wasn't until I entered the crypto world that I realized how terrifying the power of trends can be.

In 2020, I went all in with most of my savings, holding $ETH as my main position, with $BTC as a supplement, and some small altcoins. I never panic when it counts—during the 519 crash that year, while others were cutting losses, I was aggressively buying at the lows. Every dip was an opportunity to add more. This isn't gambler's psychology; it's an understanding of the cycle.

I never use high leverage, borrow money, or chase after highs. I only trade what I can understand—this is my bottom line.

By 2021, I saw the signs. When $BTC surged to around 58,000, I judged that this wave was nearing its end, and I sold most of my holdings. I also sold quite a bit of $ETH at 4400. As everyone knows later—this was the top.

At the end of the bull market, my paper gains were about 38.51 million. I took out 10 million to buy a house in Shenzhen, deposited 20 million in the bank for interest, and kept 8.51 million in the market.

Over the years surviving in the market, I’ve summarized a few points:

**1. Capital should be accumulated by yourself.** Don’t borrow money, don’t use leverage—if you can’t afford to lose, don’t play.

**2. Only seize high-probability opportunities.** Frequent trading often leads to quick death. I’d rather wait a year than trade blindly.

**3. Greed can be deadly.** Take profits when the time is right, leave some capital for the next cycle.

**4. The goal is to earn from cycles, not small intraday profits.** Short-term trading is the easiest way to get chopped.

Honestly, many people want to get rich quickly, but those who truly become wealthy are often the ones who understand patience best, dare to heavily load at lows, and know when to take profits. This isn’t a game for the smart; it’s a game for the patient.

I only do real trading, no hype, no promises of returns—just sharing my genuine experience of surviving in the market over these years.
