#加密生态动态追踪 There's a heartbreaking saying in the contract market: the quick money is often lost just as fast🔥
Everyone who's been involved here has seen it—some double their wealth during a market surge, while others are wiped out after a single misjudged bet. The market never makes exceptions; instead, it’s like a ruthless scythe, harvesting those greedy and impatient traders.
Last winter, a friend confided in me that when he opened his account, only $3,500 remained. His tone was full of exhaustion after being tossed around by the market:
"I was blindly following trends and making reckless moves, losing nearly $100,000. Now, I only have this much left."
But it’s not the end of the story. I told him: as long as there’s still money in the account and no complete liquidation, there’s always a chance to turn things around.
Six months later, he suddenly contacted me, and his account balance had grown to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This didn’t happen by luck—he developed a set of trading principles about “staying alive”:
**First is capital segmentation.** Split the $3,500 into 10 parts, risking only $300-$400 per trade. Even if one trade loses, the overall damage is limited. With a calm mindset, profits are easier to hold onto.
**Second is knowing when to take profits.** Exit decisively once a single trade gains 20%-30%, never dreaming of winning everything in one go. Use the profits to compound, keeping the initial capital intact—this way, a single mistake won’t wipe him out.
**Lastly is the art of patience.** Only trade when the market is clear; stay on the sidelines when the chart is ambiguous. The most profound insight he shared was: “The true trading master isn’t the one with the fastest hands, but the one who has the most patience to wait for the right opportunity.”
He still trades steadily today. Others might have blown up ten times already, but he’s still safely alive. Remember this—
The crypto market doesn’t have an eternal profit train. Those who manage to survive the waves ultimately win. Instead of obsessing over how to get rich overnight, learn first how not to be harvested. That’s the real skill to stand firm in the crypto world.

Ah... my friend is a cautionary tale. He went all-in and lost everything immediately.

That hits too close to home. I'm the type to make money quickly and spend it just as fast... Now I regret it to death.

You're right, living is more important than anything. Where are those quick-money earners now?

Living is the true winner, and those words really hit me.

Compared to making quick money, I fear dying just as quickly. Luckily, I woke up in time.
---
Is it really that simple? Cutting the principal, taking profits when it's good, waiting for opportunities—why does it seem like most people can't do this?
---
That friend is truly a living example. From 3,500 to hundreds of thousands, I need to study his strategies carefully.
---
It sounds nice, but when the market moves, who can resist placing orders? I can't do it.
---
Wait, isn't this the most basic aspect of risk management? Why do people still prefer to go all in?

Really, living is harder than making quick money.

Really, living is much harder than making money. This is the true nature of the crypto world.

To be honest, turning 3,500 into hundreds of thousands sounds a bit exaggerated, but that set of living logic really hit me.

You're right, survival comes first. Don't always think about taking a gamble.
