The principal increased from 100,000 to 20 million. I have summarized a set of survival rules that can truly help ordinary people avoid pitfalls, being cut, and extreme losses.

It's not mysticism, nor is it a motivational speech; it's practical knowledge distilled from countless pullbacks, surges, and lessons learned from the market.

First, a bull market is the most dangerous.

The more popular coins that the entire network is FOMO-ing into, the less you should touch them. Those who chase after a 50% surge are mostly left holding the bag. New coins are even more of a trap; new traffic and strong market control lead to a surge upon listing, followed by a sharp drop becoming the norm. Iron rule: observe new coins for at least three months.

Second, altcoins are always high-risk zones.

Altcoins follow a unified script: wash trading → pump → skin change and harvest. 80% go to zero within a year, and 95% eventually disappear. They can be touched, but only in small positions, and take small profits quickly. The coins that surge the most are never the safest.

Third, long-term investment is the underlying logic for ordinary people to turn their fortunes around.

BTC/ETH may seem to rise slowly, but they have an annualized return of over 200% over ten years. The key is being able to withstand a 40% short-term pullback. The real bull coins quietly build strength when the market is flat, and no one is watching or mentioning them. C98 surged 27 times after being flat for 11 months; that's how it happens.

Fourth, the essence of trading is counter to human nature.

Human nature makes you want to chase when prices rise and flee when they fall, but making money requires doing the opposite. Using grid trading can automatically "counter human nature"; add to positions when there’s a 10% drop and reduce positions when there’s a 20% rise. A rapid drop of 15%+ after breaking a previous high, along with shrinking trading volume, is a typical sell signal; decisively take profits.

The final bottom line is always one: survive.

Do not go all in, do not fill your portfolio, and do not invest more than 20% in a single coin. Opportunities are always plentiful, but your principal is only one-time.

There are no eternal myths in the crypto world, but there are eternal rules:

Living longer is more important than earning quickly.
