Cryptocurrency circles have been misunderstood by many.
It’s not a casino at all, and it doesn’t rely on guessing ups and downs to survive. Frankly, it’s a place where the one with better strategy and discipline wins.
Especially when the principal is small, judging right or wrong becomes less critical—the key is not to kill yourself. The smaller the capital, the more stable you need to be. Keep "staying alive" as the top priority.
I once mentored a friend who started with only 500U. #数字资产市场动态 When he placed his first trade, he was trembling, afraid that one wrong judgment would wipe out his account. I told him one thing: Don’t think about quick money, just go through the rules first.
Three months later? His account steadily grew to 18,000U. He never got margin called during the entire process.
Some say it was luck. Actually, it’s not. The real factors are those few strict rules.
**Rule 1: Funds must be layered.** $AR
Trading funds, trial-and-error funds, emergency funds—these three must never be mixed. If you have positions on the exchange, you must have confidence outside. A trader who can go far always leaves a way out for themselves.
**Rule 2: Act only on signals, wait if there are no signals.**
Most of the time, the market is fluctuating. Frequent trading is just giving money to the market. Wait until the signal is clear before taking action. Lock in your expected gains and walk away, don’t expect to catch the entire trend.
**Rule 3: Use rules to control emotions.**
Stop-losses are set in advance, not argued into place; profits are released in stages, not greedily taken all at once; $OG
Don’t add to a losing position—most of the time, it’s not judgment, but stubbornness that causes trouble.
You don’t have to always predict the correct direction, but you must follow the same set of rules every time. That’s the purpose of a system—when you’re impulsive, it helps you slam on the brakes.
Many people fail not because their capital is small, but because they always want to turn things around in one shot. True growth comes from repeatedly avoiding fatal mistakes.
It’s okay to go slow, as long as the direction is clear. If the method is right, the road will naturally widen.

Really? Discipline is more important than anything else. I also only realized this after suffering losses from frequent trading.

That's really well said. Discipline is truly worth much more than luck. I've seen too many people treat the crypto world like a casino, and as a result, they go all-in and lose everything. I believe the example of that guy turning 500U into 18,000 because I've seen similar cases before. The key is that those few strict rules can really save lives.

Exactly, following discipline is much more valuable than guessing the rise or fall.
Staying alive is the ultimate goal; not wasting your life is winning.
Well said, rules are the life-saving straw.
This methodology is excellent and can truly help eliminate inner demons.
When your principal is small, you need to stay even calmer; you can't rush.
Frequent trading is just giving money to the exchange, so true.
Stop-loss must be set in advance; otherwise, it's self-deception.
Not adding to your position hits me the most; how many people fall for "I'll try one more time."
Taking it slow actually leads to faster success; I firmly believe in this.
The power of rules is that they can help you make decisions at critical moments.

Really, following the rules is much harder than choosing the right direction. My biggest takeaway over the past two years is learning to wait.

Relying on discipline to go from 500U to 18,000U? I have to try it, or I would feel too guilty.

500U to 18,000, never liquidated? That's unbelievable. Why haven't I been this steady before?

500u to 1.8w, this guy really treats discipline as his life. I used to do the same before, but back then I was trembling more than him haha. The key is indeed not to trade frequently; sticking to the rules is more valuable than anything.

Well said, but discipline is really difficult. Watching others instantly turn 500u into 18,000 and feeling the itch. It's indeed crazy that 500u can reach 1.8w, but this guy definitely doesn't have as many messy desires as I do.

The truth is, discipline is easy to talk about, but sticking to it is the real challenge.
