#加密资产ETF十月关键对决 💥The Survival Rules of the Crypto Market: Why Living Longer Is More Difficult Than Making Fast Gains



$CARV's candlestick charts jump erratically like an ECG, $ZKP's news flow changes in an instant, $TRU's prices vary wildly—this is the daily life in the crypto world.

Five years of actual trading have taught me one reality: this market is not a wealth creation factory, but a brutal survivor test. Those who truly make money are often not the boldest, but the ones who last the longest.

Below are the three market survival rules I have summarized.

**Rule 1: Your risk threshold determines your trading lifespan**

Most people’s first reaction to the top gainers list is—"How much can this rise?" But the correct approach should be—"How low could this asset possibly fall?"

Before building a position, ask yourself three questions:

What is the most likely way this project could fail? Technical issues or economic model problems?

Can it withstand a month without liquidity? How about half a year?

Have I clearly written down my stop-loss and take-profit points? Will I actually execute them?

Observe accounts that have gone bankrupt in the market; the common cause is—being overwhelmed by vague hopes. Only a few live within a "clear risk boundary," and these are often the final winners.

**Rule 2: Use two anchor points to navigate each cycle**

Every market cycle has its buzzwords: DeFi era talks about liquidity mining, NFT era about digital art, now some talk about RWA, Layer2… But projects that truly survive cycles only have two fundamental anchors:

**Technical Anchor**: Has this project created something irreplaceable? Or is it just copy-pasting?

**Economic Anchor**: Does the token’s supply, burn, and distribution mechanism form positive feedback? Or is it just a paper tiger?

When the deviation between narrative and these two anchors exceeds 90%, it’s not innovation—it’s a warning signal.

Bubbles themselves are not scary—what’s scary is not realizing you’re floating on a bubble.

**Rule 3: Dynamic position management is your real moat**

Position allocation is not a fixed, unchanging number, but a dynamic response mechanism to market sentiment.

Adjust flexibly based on the Fear & Greed Index:

**Extreme Fear** (index <20): 40% in mainstream coins + 60% in stablecoins for cash

**Volatility Bottoming Phase** (index 20-60): 30% in mainstream coins + 20% in sector rotation opportunities + 50% in stablecoins

**Overheated Euphoria** (index >80): Gradually convert floating profits into stablecoins, leaving only the core position of "floating profit hedging the principal"

Human nature repeats itself in every cycle. Looking back at historical K-lines, you’ll find—no one truly learns to predict the future from history, but at least you can learn: don’t fall into the same pit twice.

That’s the secret to surviving longer.

That's right, risk management is indeed much more important than returns. The longer you survive, the more you can enjoy the biggest slice of the pie. I truly understand this. Stop-loss should really be written down; otherwise, it's just self-deception. I've learned these three rules the hard way, especially the part about dynamic position adjustment. The phrase "being overwhelmed by vague hope" really struck a chord with me.

That's right, stop-loss is really the hardest step to execute. --- It's the same theory, but I still see people around me going all in and getting eliminated directly. --- Dynamic position sizing sounds very reasonable, but the question is, who can really follow the plan? --- Surviving five years is harder than making money, this statement hits the mark. --- Is the fear and greed index reliable, or is it just another set of talking points? --- Looking at historical K-line charts at most just shows that you're about to make a mistake again, haha. --- The risk bottom line, honestly, I lost the most because I didn't set this thing properly. --- It sounds very reasonable, but how many actually do it? --- Living longer = earning more. This logic works well in a bull market, but what about a bear market? --- Those two anchor points make sense, but how do you determine if a project truly has them?

Writing down the stop loss is one thing, actually selling according to the stop loss is another... This is my painful lesson.

To be honest, it's well written but still a bit idealistic. When it comes to the market, who the hell can stick to the stop-loss? Seeing the unrealized losses makes me want to turn it around.

No matter how well you understand the theory, it’s useless without the right mindset. Many people can talk about it clearly on paper, but when it comes to cutting losses, they’re reluctant to do so. Not many truly survive.

It sounds very reasonable, but I still think most people simply can't do it... Everyone can talk about stop-loss, but how many actually execute it according to plan?
