#ETH走势分析 From 2,300 bucks to 57,000 bucks—My Three-Year Trading Diary



Three years ago, when I first entered the crypto space, I only had 2,300 USDT in hand. The hardest part back then wasn’t losing money—it was watching people around me brag about making quick money with leverage. 30x leverage, doubling overnight, chasing the hype… It all sounded tempting. But what happened? Accounts getting liquidated every other day, some people lost their entire year-end bonus.

I didn’t dare to gamble. I split my 2,300 USDT into 5 portions, each 460 USDT, and only traded coins with relatively mild volatility. Buy the dip, sell the rally, take profits when I could. When I made 480 USDT in the first week, I thought maybe I just got lucky. By the third week, when my account broke 6,700 USDT, I finally realized—it wasn’t luck, it was discipline.

It’s actually simple: when others chase highs, I exit; when others panic sell, I buy. That’s all there is to it.

From 6,700 USDT to 48,000 USDT, I kept using this “dumb method.” Market panic and dump? Buy in batches. Market pumps and everyone shouts bull market? Quietly exit. I never followed trading signals in groups, never chased new highs, never went all in. In short, it was steady and solid, no fancy techniques.

After my account broke 50,000 USDT, I became even more cautious. Started using scripts for limit orders, only touched top coins like $BTC and $ETH. Every position was set with take-profit and stop-loss—never held onto a trade, even if it meant making a few bucks less. Some people laughed at me for being timid, but they never saw those bloody screenshots of accounts wiped out from stubbornly holding on.

After three years, I came to understand one thing: not losing is always worth more than making more.

If I had to summarize, just these three points—going all in is a dead end, splitting positions is the way to survive; don’t bet on one-sided trends, always calculate your odds; keep a steady mindset, that’s how you make money for the long haul. The crypto world never lacks opportunities, what’s lacking are people who can control their own hands. Those stuck in vicious cycles aren’t short on effort, but short on clarity. Markets always move, opportunities wait for no one, but only those who can control their greed make it out.

Going all-in is a trap.
