#数字资产市场动态 Everyone says how much wealth is needed to be truly satisfied with success, but I turn the question around—how much do I need to earn to make all past regrets vanish into smoke?

At 39 years old, I live in Shanghai, own 4 properties, 3 luxury cars, and have assets exceeding one hundred million. But when it comes to the story behind these numbers, it’s far more heartbreaking than the results themselves.

Eight years ago, when I first entered the crypto world, I was a complete novice. I experienced margin calls, zeroed out accounts, almost stepped into every rookie trap. During the most embarrassing phase, I even lost contact with everyone around me, drank to cope, and once thought I had no future in this circle.

I nearly sank into despair, but on March 12, 2018—the day of the "Black Swan"—my trajectory changed. That day, countless people went bankrupt, but I saw something clearer—market absurdity is like gambling, and the rules are hidden within this absurdity.

Some relied on a capital of 2800 U to reach a net worth of tens of millions, and what did I rely on? Not giving up, reviewing strategies, tempering my mindset—pushing through year after year. Back then, I thought it was all luck; now I realize that surviving until today was entirely because I stuck to a set of seemingly clumsy but foolproof rules.

**Rule 1: Rapid rise, slow fall = Market Maker is Absorbing Funds**
When prices suddenly surge and then sharply decline, followed by a slow recovery, this rhythm often indicates the market maker is accumulating at low levels. The true top usually appears as a violent rally followed by a sudden dump.

**Rule 2: Sharp decline, slow rise = Market Maker is Offloading**
A slow rebound after a flash crash? Don’t rush to buy the dip. This is often the last bait before a trap.

**Rule 3: Volume at the top ≠ Complete Top, No Volume is the Real Danger**
Prices rise along with volume, suggesting the market may continue to push higher; once volume disappears and only the price remains, that’s a sign of impending collapse. The movements of coins like $FOGO often reflect this pattern.

**Rule 4: Don’t rush to buy at the bottom with high volume; sustained volume is more reliable**
A single large volume spike might just be a lure. Only when volume continues to stay high is a true breakout signal.

These four rules aren’t copied from books; they are blood, sweat, and tears accumulated through repeated margin calls, strategic reversals, and real money poured into the game.

The biggest temptation in crypto is chasing rises and selling declines. When others rush with the trend, your job isn’t to follow but to learn self-restraint—don’t let market noise drag you off rhythm.

Making money has never been about luck; it’s about whether you can grasp the market’s tempo. Too many, like I once was, rush to recover losses, only to lose more the faster they go. Later, I understood—markets will always present opportunities, but the rhythm waits for no one.

Emerging from the darkest days, I finally realized a truth: true progress isn’t about who runs fastest, but about lighting a lamp in the fog to illuminate your next step. Once you learn this, wealth will gradually follow.
