#数字资产市场动态 7 years, from 1,000U to 20 million: A person who has fallen in the crypto world wants to share their heartfelt insights with you



My name is Aping

Having struggled in the crypto space for 7 years, I’ve seen hell and touched heaven

I’ve experienced liquidation, debt, and collection calls ringing in my ears. The most unforgettable moment was watching 200,000 directly turn to zero right before my eyes—that feeling... indescribable. But I endured—starting over from the last 1,000U, I gradually grew to 20 million.

Today, I won’t talk about empty theories. As someone who has walked through the gates of hell, I will openly share the 9 unbreakable rules I’ve learned through blood and tears over these 7 years.

**1. If your principal is only within 10,000 yuan, just take one bite a day**

Don’t dismiss small amounts, and don’t expect to multiply tenfold in one shot. When a big trend arrives, one move is enough. Throwing all your money in at once only cuts off your escape route. How does small money make profit? It’s about the number of opportunities, not single-shot multipliers.

**2. Don’t run immediately on good news release day; you must sell on the next day’s high open**

This is ingrained in my bones. Good news is a turning point; from that moment on, it becomes bad news. Big players always react faster than retail investors. While you hesitate, they’re already starting to dump.

**3. During news expectations and before holidays, you must reduce your positions**

What to do before a major event? Cut your holdings or go completely flat. If you can’t see the direction clearly, wait. The market won’t obediently send you sugar just because you’re anxious.

**4. Hold medium to long-term positions so lightly that you almost forget about them**

The market loves to tidy up those who are not confident. Full positions and stubborn holding? The weeds on your grave have already grown two meters high.

**5. Short-term trading boils down to two words: fast and smooth**

When the trend is clear, find your entry points and quickly buy and sell; when the market is chaotic and unclear, keep your hands in your pockets and watch the show. Greed for a moment, and you’ll be trapped for three days afterward.

**6. Slow decline matches slow rebound, rapid decline matches rapid rebound**

Learn to read this rhythm, and you’ll understand when to bottom fish and when to retreat.

**7. Stop-loss is not an option; it’s instinct**

Made a wrong trade, the direction reversed—don’t hesitate—don’t wait a second. Losing small money is to preserve your life; stubbornly holding onto a position is digging your own grave.

**8. 15-minute K-line plus KDJ indicator are the eyes of short-term traders**

Don’t think this is too basic. The tools that make real money are often the simplest and most effective.

**9. Once your mindset collapses, technical analysis becomes useless**

The fluctuations in the crypto market amplify all human weaknesses. Without greed, fear, or impatience—you can transform from a gambler into a true trader.

**Finally, I want to say:**

Over these 7 years, I’ve learned one thing deeply—making money is never about who has a smarter brain, but about who can survive long enough.

If you’re still repeating mistakes and falling into traps, maybe it’s not bad luck, but that you lack someone who has experienced a full cycle to show you the way out.

I am Aping. I’ve never left this market in 7 years. If you want to change your current situation, I can take you through this journey.

Don't run on the positive day, I believed it... As a result, the next day it opened high and plunged, and I'm still holding it.

nah, the "9 rules" thing is giving guru sales pitch energy... technically speaking, insufficient validation on like 80% of these lmfao

It's the same old spiel, hearing it has worn my ears out. But to be honest, point 2 really hit home—positive news landing is just a selling wave. I jumped out of my BTC at the open this time, avoiding the subsequent plunge, or I might have had a heart attack now.

To be honest, the good news led to a high open the next day, and I sold immediately—this is my blood and tears lesson.

Honestly, the most heartbreaking part is the stop-loss. I only lost because I stubbornly held on.

That's a good point, but can this theory really help retail investors survive? I think it still depends on luck.

Basically, it's about living longer to win, and I agree with that.

It all sounds right, but the real challenge is execution, brother.

To be honest, the second one really hit hard. So many people lost their lives at the moment when the good news was announced due to greed.
