There is no eternal bull market in the crypto world, but someone is always holding a light in the darkness. I entered this circle in 2018. Over the past eight years, I have seen too many people get rich overnight only to disappear quickly, and I have also witnessed many "big shots" fall from their pedestals. In the early years, like many newcomers, I was obsessed with the thrill of 100x contracts, watching my account skyrocket in celebration, only to vanish in a black swan event. But over the years, I discovered an interesting phenomenon: most of those who made the biggest profits back then have long since disappeared. Instead, people like me who take it slow and steady not only survive but also see their assets continuously grow. It was then I realized—crypto is not a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon that lasts a very long time. Living long enough is far more important than earning quickly. Today, I want to share some survival rules I’ve learned over these eight years, earned with real money. **Rule 1: Invest with spare funds, this is the bottom line** I’ve seen too many people use their living expenses or even loans to enter the market, only to have their mentality shattered by a wave of market fluctuations. What is spare money? It’s money that, even if lost entirely, won’t affect your daily life. I set a strict rule for myself: only invest 20% of my liquid funds. This way, no matter what black swan events occur, I can stay calm and handle them rationally. **Rule 2: Mainstream coins are the ballast** In earlier years, I was also dazzled by the stories of explosive gains in various altcoins, dreaming of tenfold or hundredfold overnight riches. But reality is cruel—90% of altcoins eventually go to zero. Mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the real assets that can withstand cycles. My current portfolio is simple: 80% invested in BTC and ETH, with the remaining 20% used to explore promising new projects. **Rule 3: Position management is a core survival skill** The phrase "never go all-in" may sound cliché, but it is the key to survival. Even with projects I believe in, I leave room for adjustments, giving myself room to make mistakes.
