The hardest lesson in the cryptocurrency world is not about how to make money, but knowing when to stop.

Too many people ultimately lose at this step.

In 2020, I met a friend who entered the market with 5000U during the bull market and made it to 100,000 U in half a year. We all advised him to take some profits to be safe, but he laughed casually: "Don't rush, I want to make it to 500,000; this is just the warm-up."

As a result, the market reversed, and 100,000 U dropped to 30,000, leaving only a few hundred U. That day he stared blankly at the screen, unable to say a word, and never opened the trading software again.

I have also stumbled myself. Once my account surged to 600,000 U; watching the profits skyrocket, I only had one thought: to gamble for a million. But after a correction, it dropped straight back to 200,000 U. Those few days, I was completely dazed, putting on a brave face during the day, but at night my mind was filled with that collapsing candlestick.

It was from that moment on that I truly awakened: in the cryptocurrency world, it's not about how much you can earn, but how much you can actually take away.

Too many people die in the greed of "earning a little more," thinking they are accumulating wealth, when in fact, they are waiting for the moment to lose it all. True experts never get greedy for the last piece of meat.

Later, I set strict rules for myself: if the account doubles, withdraw 30%; if it triples, take half; the money earned must be transferred to a real account. This is not cowardice; it is understanding — no matter how beautiful the numbers on the screen are, if not cashed out, they are ultimately just an illusion.

You ask how much is enough? There is no standard answer. Human nature is inherently unsatisfied, the difference lies in: some actively get off before reaching the peak, while others have to fall to the bottom to wake up.

The cruelty of the cryptocurrency world lies here: those who can survive until the end are not the ones who earn the most, but those who dare to stop halfway up the mountain. The market will always exist, opportunities will always be there, but once the principal is gone, the game is completely over.

Now I only believe in one thing: being able to earn, but also being able to keep it safe.

If you are still confused and don't know how to find the right balance, don't panic; as long as you take the initiative, I will always be here. @华莱士薯条
