#梗币ETF The path in the crypto world, I’ve been walking for 9 years. From over 6 million down to 100,000, then using 100,000 to bounce back to 4 million. The biggest gain over these years isn’t actually making money, but finally understanding human nature.



I entered the market in May 2016, during the craziest times my assets broke 6 million. Back then, I traded every day, messing around back and forth, and actually lost the most money. The secret to making big money is surprisingly simple — stay out of the market and wait for the right opportunity to go all in.

In 2022, during that wave, I sold my house to raise 80,000, and at the 17,000 price level, I aggressively bought 6 $BTC at the bottom, then sold at 25,000 to make some profit. But I immediately regretted it — $BTC then skyrocketed, and I missed the whole rally, watching the market slip away right in front of me. By August 2024, $BTC dropped back to 49,000, but I had already used that 80,000 to buy a house back in February.

At that time, I really wanted to quit the scene.

But in July, I couldn’t resist and added another 200,000. $SATS surged wildly, quickly pushing my account over 500,000, then retraced back to 240,000. I went all in on $TROY, and that retracement almost broke me — my husband advised me to hold, and it really rebounded. Later, $ACT on the chain hit 1.2 million in a week, $HBAR doubled to 1.8 million, and switching to $ALGO pushed it over 3 million. If I had just held $HBAR without selling, it could have reached 4.8 million at its peak.

But the good times didn’t last.

Starting early 2025, I became greedy, chasing every rise and falling every dip, completely disrupting my rhythm. The pressure from buying a house weighed down, and my crypto account was down to 100,000.

The real turning point came this year.

Our team preemptively invested in Alpaca and AI16Z, which multiplied tenfold; the letter-based projects H, M, C all experienced full main rallies; $CFX was precisely called at 0.125 and surged to 0.2; everyone caught the bottom of $ETH and $BTC, and we didn’t miss the entire market rally from start to finish.

My account has now returned to over 4 million.

Looking back now, I finally understand what true trading is:

There’s never a shortage of opportunities in the crypto world, what’s missing is real cognition, precise timing, and firm execution. Those who don’t understand rush to buy in; those who understand patiently stay out, waiting for that moment of certainty, then go all in to break through the ceiling of life in one shot.

One person’s strength is indeed limited.

If you’re in a low point now, if you also want to turn things around — let’s work together. We look forward to your joining.
BTC-1,3%
SATS-0,45%
TROY-12,22%
ACT-13,73%

Ha, this wave is quite hitting home, really. Tinkering for 9 years from 6 million to 100,000 and then to 4 million, that process is exhausting to listen to. But speaking of which, I can totally understand the part about frequently chasing gains and selling off—just wanting to buy the dip when the market hits the daily limit, only to get hammered again. The advice your husband gave you to hold on might be more valuable than all trading techniques combined. But when you say "People who don't understand panic and rush to get in, those who understand wait in cash"... I just want to ask, how do you determine the moment when this certainty appears? Isn't it just armchair quarterbacking after the fact?

Oh wow, this story is really amazing... But the ending of "Let's do it together" has a bit of flavor, huh.

After 9 years of struggling, is this all the insight you've gained? I think the real secret is having a team to help you call the trades.

In plain terms, this is a textbook example of survivor bias. After nine years of struggling, they still rely on team calls and chasing hot coins to turn things around. The logic is a bit... ironic.

Alright... another story of tenfold or more gains. Although it sounds impressive, honestly, what I fear most is this kind of "our team provides precise signals" routine.

Really, frequent trading is just working for the big players, ending up with nothing 100,000 to 4 million, this is the legendary "storytelling" moment Waiting on the sidelines for opportunities? Easy to say, how many can really do it That team calling trades... it looks a bit familiar to me Holding on is the hardest part; when you see others making money and feel envious, that's the true nature of the crypto world The mental resilience needed to go from 6 million loss to 100,000 loss—I've experienced this deeply
