I've seen too many people in the crypto world have their dreams shattered. Accounts shrink from thousands of dollars to double digits, and their eyes are filled with despair. But I've also seen those who truly turn things around. Their common point is never because they stumbled upon some treasure coin, but because they mastered a simple, almost foolproof logic.



Three months ago, a friend came to me with only $1,000 left in his account, and he was about to break down. He tremblingly asked if I could help him. I didn't give him any profound theories; I just said one thing: "Don't think about getting rich overnight. First, learn to survive in the crypto world."

He followed my advice. That week, the market was very flat, with sideways oscillations and no clear direction. He held on tightly without making a move. On the eighth day, the main upward wave suddenly started, and he decisively followed the trend—his account shot up to $2,800.

That night, he sent me a voice message, his voice trembling, saying he finally saw hope. But what I want to emphasize isn't just this result, but what’s behind it.

You see, too many retail investors go astray from the very beginning. They think making money depends on a full screen of indicators, candlestick patterns, and all kinds of complex technical analysis. In reality, the core is just three things: rhythm, position sizing, and execution.

I'm serious—many people study technical analysis to the point where they become reverse indicators. Why? Because they ignore the most important things.

The real things that can send someone into a deep liquidation abyss are never the charts themselves, but these deadly pitfalls:

First is the impulsive all-in. Seeing a wave of market movement, they feel compelled to put all their assets in, like betting everything on a gambling table. If they lose, there's no turning back.

Second is chasing trades emotionally. After several days of rising prices, they keep chasing, like missing their stop. The market won't wait for your regret; it just keeps going.

Third is stubbornly betting on rebounds. Watching losses, hoping a rebound will save them, only to lose more. This is the most common suicidal mindset in crypto.

The only way to avoid liquidation and turn your holdings around is: try small positions for trial and error, set stop-losses in advance, and then strictly execute—there's no other trick.

Luck might help you make quick money once, but to survive the turbulent waves of the crypto world, discipline is absolutely essential.

Whether you believe it or not isn't the key; the key is whether you believe in discipline and can stick to execution. That decides everything.

Stop dreaming of overnight reversals. Be disciplined, execute every trade properly, and profits will come sooner or later. Not that they won't come—it's just a matter of time.

The words "discipline" are well said, but how many can truly uphold it? I've seen too many people verbally agree, only to forget everything with a single shake of the hand.

nah the discipline part hits different... most traders just chase the narrative instead of executing the plan, you know?

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice; only the tough ones can truly survive.

Being ruthless is ruthless, but how many can truly stick to their stop-loss? I'm one of the few who can't.

Listen, I'll just say one thing—discipline really can save lives. The guys around me who turned their lives around did it exactly this way.

Discipline sounds simple, but in reality, it's a matter of life and death. I've seen too many people fail because of their emotions.

Honestly, discipline is easy to talk about but extremely hard to practice. I see many people break their resolve the very next day after hearing this.
