How do I describe that feeling? It was like standing on the edge of a cliff, taking a step into thin air, and then watching myself fall with my eyes wide open. The phone screen kept lighting up and going dark. I stared at the account balance hitting zero, not even having the strength to curse.
I smashed my phone, broke my keyboard, and deleted all the trading apps. I lay in bed for an entire day, my mind scarily blank. Back then, I thought my relationship with crypto was over for good.
But people are weird. The more you try to forget, the more that fire inside you burns. I just couldn’t swallow the loss—why should the market beat me like this? I wasn’t willing to accept it.
At the beginning of last year, I only had 1,000 USDT left. Looking at that number, I made a fierce promise to myself: this is the last chance—if I blow up again, I’m out for good.
And then, the miracle happened.
1,000 USDT turned into 25,000 USDT, then 25,000 USDT became 120,000. It was like I’d unlocked some cheat code, just skyrocketing up. People around me were jealous, and even I couldn’t believe it.
The secret? You might think it’s boring—I just stopped gambling.
I used to go all-in every time, but now I lock my position at 40%. The rest is my life-saving money. No matter how tempting the market is, I only take the chunk I can safely digest. No bottom-fishing, no holding onto losing positions, no dreaming. If it’s time to go long, I go long; if it’s time to go short, I go short. I only take trades with high certainty.
How good does it feel to go with the trend? Making 6,000 USDT in ten minutes is just routine.
And after making money? I used to get cocky, but now I’m smarter. I keep 30% to keep trading, and withdraw 70% right away. Numbers on the screen aren’t real money—only cash in hand is real.
That’s how I not only made back the 500,000 I lost, but also made over 300,000 in profit. At that moment, I finally understood: in crypto, it’s not about who charges hardest—it’s about who learns not to self-destruct first.
The ones who survive always end up making crazy profits.
I’m not some guru or mentor. I’m just an ordinary player who’s fallen, been liquidated, hit rock bottom, and gone broke, but still managed to claw my way back.
Now, I only want to guide one kind of person: those willing to wake up, willing to change, and who understand the saying “discipline matters more than the market.”
If you’re really ready, then come on. Let’s walk the comeback road together.

This story sounds like another "I went from bankruptcy to getting rich" cliché... but when it comes to position management, there's really nothing wrong with it. It's much more reliable than those gamblers who go all-in with full positions.

800,000 is gone directly, how harsh is that... But on the other hand, being able to turn things around in the end shows that you really learned something, it's not just about constantly betting.

It sounds like a very realistic story, but going from 800,000 directly to zero, then to 1,000 U and back up to 120,000... How likely is that? It feels like a novel plot.

To be honest, this story makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. 800,000 is just gone, and that really is something that can change a person. But what I want to complain about even more is this last part, "I only want to bring a certain kind of person"... Bro, are you sure you're not just trying to sell a course?

What you said is absolutely right—surviving is definitely more important than chasing high returns. I used to go all-in with my positions too, but now I've switched to holding 40% and my mindset feels much more at ease. Still, the hardest part is not "self-sabotaging."

Damn, this wave went from losing 800,000 to bankruptcy and then back up to having some gains in hand, that's really tough. But that saying "those who survive always end up making crazy profits" sounds a bit like survivorship bias, doesn't it?

The saying about locking in a 40% position... just take it with a grain of salt. The key is whether the risk assessment model can truly enforce discipline.

Oh, I've heard this line too many times. If they had really made a comeback, would they still bother posting a long article?

I was completely devastated after seeing it... 800,000, that must be so hard to bear.
Four years ago, I lost 800,000 in a liquidation.
