Making money relies not on luck, but on insights gained from experiences.
1. Beginning of the story: The wounds that others cannot see
"What else can you do besides spending money?"
When my best friend held my hand and urged me to endure the mess of marriage, I stared out the window without saying a word. Ten years of youth, from school uniform to wedding dress, accompanying him from carrying bricks at the construction site to a fortune of millions, only to end up with the words, 'You can't live without me.'
That day I signed the divorce agreement, clutching the fifty thousand yuan I had secretly saved, and left without looking back.
On the third day of my part-time job at the convenience store, Sister Chen, who often came to buy coffee, handed me a cup of hot Americano and pointed at the K-line chart on her phone screen, saying, 'Sister, tears won't bring food, but insight can.'
The first lesson she taught me was: "The cryptocurrency world is specially designed to deal with all kinds of defiance, but it only rewards those who are willing to fall and get back up."
Two, enlightenment: from 'panic to insomnia' to 'calmly watching the market.'
When I first stared at the screen, my palms were sweaty. I was afraid of missing out when it rose and afraid of a crash when it fell, like a marionette pulled by emotions.
Sister Chen threw me a sticky note with six iron rules circled in red ink.
Rapid rise and slow fall = the main force is accumulating; a large bearish candle after a rapid rise = a harvesting signal.
The market loves to entice people with 'soaring prices,' but real opportunities often hide in slow climbs. A sudden vertical rise is often a trap.
Flash crashes and rebounds are traps, not opportunities.
A rebound after a crash is like an ex seeking reconciliation; it looks enticing but is actually a trap. I once chased a rebound out of greed and ended up losing half a month's salary.
High volume contraction and sideways movement = the calm before the storm.
If prices can't rise and trading volume is shrinking, it means big players are quietly selling while retail investors fantasize about a rally.
Building positions at the bottom looks for 'continuous contraction + expansion.'
A single volume increase may be a test, but a subsequent increase after a volume contraction is the real signal. I waited a full 3 months for such an opportunity.
In those years, the most profound lesson I learned was: "The candlestick chart is a mirror that reflects human nature."
Three, counterattack: Turning fifty thousand into five million in five years.
I don't believe in 'getting rich overnight,' I only believe in 'small victories lead to big victories.'
Dare to hold cash: When the market is crazy, I watch others make money while holding cash. My best friend laughed at me for being timid, but when a bear market hit, she was liquidated while I bought the dip.
No greed, no fear: During the Dogecoin frenzy in 2021, I exited early and made 50% less profit, but I avoided the subsequent 80% crash. Sister Chen said: "Making less is better than losing money."
Trading volume doesn't lie: Contraction represents a quiet market, while expansion signifies impulsive capital. Learning to read volume is like understanding the heartbeat of the market.
Eight years have passed, and the account balance jumped from fifty thousand to seven figures, but more precious than money is: I can finally calmly say, "I can live well without anyone."
Four, heartfelt words: Written for you who walk in darkness.
Don't blindly trust the 'masters.'
There are no gods in the cryptocurrency world, only cognitive gaps. I once blindly followed major influencers and ended up suffering the worst losses. Later, I understood: what is truly worth learning is from those who are willing to dissect their failures.
Emotions are your enemy.
Making decisions in anxiety will result in 99% regret. Now, before each operation, I ask myself: "If this were someone else's account, how would I advise them?"
Surviving is more important than making money quickly.
Invest with spare cash and set stop-loss lines. I've seen too many people borrow money to leverage and then disappear from group chats.
Five, the last confession.
Now some people call me 'boss,' but I know clearly: I am just a woman who crawled out of the ruins of marriage and was forced to learn to be sober.
The cryptocurrency world will not disappoint those who take it seriously, but the premise is - you must first learn to be honest with yourself.
The market is always in cycles, and your understanding is the chip that no one can take away.
