In 2022, at his brother's wedding, in the groomsmen's room, after a few drinks, he jokingly mocked himself and said: "At the age of 31, I still have to rely on my parents for the bride price."


In that moment, I smiled and raised my glass, but it felt like a needle pricked my heart. That night when I got back, I opened the exchange and saw SOL drop from 109U to 89U, thinking to myself, "A rebound? Let's give it a shot!"
So, I invested the 90,000 I had saved for two years.
The market has been playing tricks on me for the next few days. SOL surged from 80U to 95U, and I was staring at those numbers, my heart racing like it was about to jump out of my throat. At that moment, I felt like I was about to turn things around. Take profits? What a joke! This wave is definitely going to break a hundred!
Three days later, the market turned and plunged straight to the core of the earth.
SOL has plummeted to $40, and the liquidation warning lit up on the screen. My account only has 200U for fees left. My hands shook so much that I couldn't even click to exit steadily, and tears were welling up in my eyes. That night, I felt for the first time what it means to be in the "crypto world of knives", so cold it made me sober.
Later I understood that the true experts are not the ones who make the most money, but those who dare to cut losses, can stay calm, and know when to retreat.
The cryptocurrency market is not a casino, but a psychological battle.
Not setting profit and loss limits is just exchanging life for experience.
That 90,000 was the most expensive tuition I paid in the crypto world.
But it was that liquidation that forced me to rewrite all the operating rules.
My account has already increased dozens of times, but every time I place an order, I can't help but think of that joke and the remaining balance of 200U.
Brother, if you want to survive in the crypto world, remember:
The market can return, but once the principal is gone, it's really gone.
The first survival rule in the cryptocurrency world is not "how to get rich quickly," but rather — how to stay alive.
Now I've come out, how about you?
Ask yourself, are you willing to be a lifetime chives? Or do you want to be the one who laughs last and wins?

It means that if you lose money, don't be afraid; you'll earn it back sooner or later. Just keep putting money in. This is the drag of the exchange.
