Sending to brothers who are tired of office life and want to change their luck with knowledge In the crypto market, many people enter with the dream of “getting rich quickly.” But in reality, it often goes the other way: the more impatient, the easier to lose. The story of Mr. Lưu — a manual laborer who used to work on construction sites — is a clear example: two months of continuous losses due to emotional trading, then changing approach, discipline, and pace, gradually regaining what was lost. The lesson learned is not “bet everything to get rich,” but to slow down to go further.

  1. Newcomers Usually “Die” at the Peak, Veterans Live on the Mountain Newcomers often make three common mistakes: Seeing the price rise then excitedly jumping in. Seeing the price fall then panicking and cutting losses late. Small profits then overjoyed, big losses then stubbornly holding on. That’s “being hijacked by emotions.” The market only needs a slight shake, and your heart races, hands tremble, hasty decisions follow. Crypto is full of opportunities; what’s missing is calmness to wait for the right moment. The more you want to rush, the easier it is to pay the price.
  2. Three Survival Principles: Slow is Fast, Less is More Principle 1: Only 1–2 trades per day, don’t chase the price Opportunities are always there. Frequent trading doesn’t make you better, only increases transaction fees and mental fatigue. Choose fewer trades, wait for clear entry points, and prioritize quality over quantity. Principle 2: No more than 10% of capital per trade Capital is “ammunition,” not “shield.” Divide your account into multiple parts, use only a small portion each time. If you lose, it’s less, and you still have the strength to recover. Principle 3: Always set stop-loss, and exit when wrong Stop-loss is like a seatbelt. It doesn’t make you “weak,” but helps you keep the chance for tomorrow. Without a stop-loss, a single slip can wipe out long-term efforts.
  3. When the Rhythm is Right, Money Finds You Instead of constantly staring at the price chart all day, set specific times to check the market, record your plan, and stick to it. Once the habit is established, you will see: No more panic at each candle. Accept small losses to preserve capital. Accumulated profits like a slowly rolling snowball. It’s not luck, but rhythm — something that every persistent person has.
  4. Remember: Making Big Money Goes Against Nature Don’t believe in “overnight riches,” believe in the power of compound interest Prioritize foundational assets, long-term strategies, and diversify evenly over time. Time is an ally if you are disciplined. Treat trading like work, discipline like clocking in Entry–exit plans are “procedures.” Breaking the procedure is like taking unauthorized leave. Emotions are the enemy, rules are the fortress When the crowd is greedy, be cautious. When the crowd is fearful, calmly look for opportunities. Final Words Crypto is not a gamble, but a test of awareness. What determines the outcome is not price volatility, but your stance before volatility. Patience, discipline, risk management — that’s the sustainable path. Slow down to go faster.
