#Strategy加仓BTC That was in the summer of 2019.

I clearly remember the feeling when the account balance jumped from 500,000 to 6.35 million — my heart almost jumped out of my chest. It only took 60 days. Every night before sleep, I would check the K-line, and the first thing I did upon waking was to look at the top gainers. During that time, my mind was filled with thoughts of luxury cars and villas, and I even wrote a self-satisfied comment on Moments: Making money is easier than breathing. The picture was a Bitcoin candlestick chart — one that shot straight up into the sky.

I truly believed I had deciphered some kind of code back then.

And what happened? Three months later, Bitcoin started a sudden, cliff-like plunge from $20,000 without any warning. My 6.35 million seemed to be sucked into a black hole, and in the blink of an eye, only 80,000 yuan remained in my contract account. I didn’t even have enough to pay the transaction fee. The red words on the screen "Liquidation Recovered" kept flashing, and I stared at it for half an hour without coming to my senses. That night, I finally understood: things that come too quickly often leave just as quickly and thoroughly.

Over these eight years, I’ve seen too many things. Some people shout "faith" during a bull market, only to become "forced to take over" during a bear market. I know an older brother who, in 2021, mortgaged his house to go all-in on a hot coin, and when it multiplied eight times, he didn’t take profits, only to be forcibly liquidated later, losing even his property deed. I’ve heard stories like this more than ten times.

Later, I started to seriously reflect on these eight years. I found a pattern: those who have survived more than three full cycles of bull and bear markets in the crypto world rely not on some god-level operation, but on the ability to survive.

I began to gradually refine the gambler’s instinct in myself into discipline. Now, my position layout is like this: the core holdings are only Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are my stabilizers; I use grid trading for swing trading to keep rhythm; and I only gamble on high-risk coins. Some people find my approach a bit dull, saying I’m as steady as someone in retirement. I think this steadiness is earned with six million yuan of tuition fees — it’s worth it.

There’s one lesson I especially want to pass on to newcomers.

In the 2020 second-tier exchange platform incident, I was lucky to dodge it, not because I was particularly smart, but because I had already transferred about 80% of my assets into a cold wallet. If the coins aren’t in your hands, they’re not really yours. This principle looks simple, but few people truly do it.

Every day, there are "inside information" flying around — some coin is about to explode, some project is making big moves. But the ones who really get to profit are always those who stay quiet, patient enough, and know how to wait. This isn’t some secret investment trick; it’s just basic self-control.

My account, from that battered 80,000 yuan, gradually climbed back to this number. Nothing miraculous happened; it’s all been achieved through rules and discipline. The speed of earning isn’t as fast as before, but I can now reliably lock in each profit. This feeling is completely different from the adrenaline rush back then, but it’s much more solid.

What has the biggest lesson in the crypto world taught me? It’s this: making money fast isn’t a skill; being able to hold onto it is the real skill.

I no longer chase myths of hundredfold gains. I just want to use the experience I’ve gained over these years to help more people safely navigate these turbulent waters. I used to stumble around alone in the dark; now I hold a light, and it’s always shining. Whether you want to follow or not is up to you.
