#数字货币市场洞察 In my first year in the space, I saw too many people’s accounts blow up completely in less than ten days. That’s when I truly understood—what really knocks people out in crypto trading isn’t the losses themselves, but that one fatal liquidation.
I’ve suffered losses too. I started with $20,000 in capital, but half of it was wiped out by chasing hype, following signal groups, and letting emotions dictate my trades. After that, I realized I had to change. I clawed my way out of the deep pit of loss, and eventually grew my account steadily to $100,000.
During this process, I set three bottom lines for myself.
**Rule 1: Never go all-in**
How important is it to keep some capital in reserve? It’s more important than chasing any pump. If you only use half your funds, the rest is your lifeline.
**Rule 2: Always execute stop-losses and take-profits decisively**
Hesitation is just emotion—true professionalism means acting immediately. There’s a huge difference between thinking about it and actually doing it.
**Rule 3: Immediately pass on projects you don’t understand**
No matter how loudly others hype something, opportunities that aren’t yours are just illusions.
Looking back at my trading experience over the years, the reason I managed to hold steady wasn’t because my skills were that great, but because these three rules kept me from getting carried away, going all-in, or getting liquidated—the three fatal mistakes. The crypto market never lacks opportunities; surviving is what matters most. Staying calm is always more valuable than trading techniques. Protect your capital first, and the profits will come naturally.

Oh, that really hits home. I'm one of those people who blew up in just ten days...

Really, I’ve gone all in before too, and that one time almost bankrupted me. Now whenever I see someone go all in, I just want to stop them.

To be honest, I have a lot of experience with going all-in... That one time almost bankrupted me.

Seriously, I almost didn't recover that time I went all in. Now whenever I see someone else go all in, I get nervous for them.

So true, going all in is really a fatal flaw. I’ve seen too many people go game over just because of one greedy move.

Absolutely right, going all-in is suicide. I’ve seen too many people who were full of confidence lose everything overnight and go back to square one.

Going half in sounds simple, but how many people can really do it... I once went all in, and it turned my clarity into clear pain.
