Turning 30,000 in principal into 60 million wasn’t luck, nor some mysterious talent.

Just four words: Endure it.

Last week I met an old-timer in the crypto space, almost ten years in the game. During our chat, he casually opened his trading records for me: started with 30,000, now 60 million sits in his account.

I asked directly, “How did you achieve these returns?”

He picked up his coffee and smiled calmly, “No secret, just more patience than most.”

In that moment, I understood—this market isn’t short on quick thinkers, it’s short on those who can endure.

**① Never go all-in—Survival matters more than getting rich fast**

“The most expensive lesson in crypto is always taught by going all-in.”

His principle is to never use more than 30% of his capital. No matter how wild the market gets, he never adds more.

Others around him have gotten rich quick, and also liquidated. He just slowly snowballs.

After three bull and bear cycles, he’s still at the table—people like him.

**② Don’t chase blindly—profits come from knowledge, not FOMO**

When DeFi was all the rage, he didn’t jump in;
When new concepts were flying high, he stuck to a few mainstream coins.

He reviews, records, and studies market swings daily.

He puts it plainly:
“Only play with what you understand—time will reward you.”

**③ Don’t delay cutting losses—admitting defeat helps you survive longer**

On his desk, there’s a note:
“The market won’t go easy on you just because you feel bad.”

Cutting losses isn’t losing, it’s leaving yourself a way out.

He’s kept this rule for nine years, never broken it.

**④ The hardest part is mentality: Endure**

Watching others make money—envious, but doesn’t act;
Endures ten crashes—doubts, but doesn’t change strategy;
Strictly follows his plan, never lets emotions lead.

Do this, and you turn from gambler to player.

As I was leaving, he said:
“The real pros don’t rely on excitement, but on discipline.
Geniuses live on inspiration; veterans live on systems.
Only those who survive the cycles have the right to talk about freedom.”

The ones left standing in crypto aren’t the smartest.

They’re the ones who—
Repeat the simple things to perfection.
