#数字资产市场动态 That time when the market plummeted, I directly slid from a principal of 850,000 to the bottom—account wiped clean, nothing left.
I threw my phone against the wall, and the crack on the screen looked like the shattered mindset I had at that moment. I uninstalled all trading apps in one go, didn’t reply to messages, didn’t answer calls, only one thought in my mind: It’s over.
Staring at the zero in my account balance, I swore to myself I would never touch this industry again in my life. But at night, I still couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning, thinking that giving up like this was just too unwilling.
At the start of this year, I only had 3,000 USDT left in my wallet. I told myself: One last chance, if I win, I continue; if I lose, I quit completely.
This time I learned my lesson. There’s no secret technique, just two words—play by the rules.
Starting with 2,200 USDT, no matter how tempting the market is, I kept my position below 40%. The remaining funds are my lifeline and I never touch them; once the stop-loss line is hit, I exit immediately—no illusions. No chasing rallies, no bottom fishing. I follow the momentum of strong coins, and in a weak market, I switch to shorting to hedge risks.
Once, I caught a good wind, earning 5,000 USDT in ten minutes. Watching the numbers jump, I didn’t get impulsive—I kept 30% as operational funds for continued use, and immediately withdrew the remaining 70% to my wallet.
Step by step, I operated steadily, recovered the 500,000 USDT I lost before, and even made an extra 300,000 USDT.
Now I finally understand that the crypto market isn’t about who gets rich overnight, but about who can survive the longest. Maintaining trading discipline, suppressing greed and luck—this is more valuable than any secret or skill.

850,000 wiped out, then earned back 800,000. This turnaround is really impressive... But to be honest, most people can't get through the first liquidation hurdle. If you dare to try again, you've already won half the battle.

No way, really? 850,000 wiped out directly? Just thinking about it keeps me awake. How strong must that mentality be?

Really, from the moment I wiped out the 850,000, I understood that greed is the biggest killer, not technical issues.

ngl the whole "discipline beats luck" narrative here conveniently ignores how protocol governance gets exploited by exactly this kind of thinking... but sure, tell yourself the market rewards restraint lmao

Honestly, I felt pain when the 850,000 was wiped out, but the final part is the real lesson — living longer is the true winner, not relying on a single all-in.

technically speaking, this is just basic risk management wrapped in a recovery narrative—position sizing under 40%, mechanical stops, profit-taking discipline. nothing groundbreaking here, but apparently most traders need to blow up 850k to learn what should be day one protocol architecture. the math checks out though, can't fault the execution once they actually implemented proper constraints.

850,000 directly wiped out... How strong must one's mentality be? If it were me, I would have already smashed my phone. By the way, I really learned this time: it's not about any secret, but about holding that line firmly. Only by staying alive can you turn things around.

Really, I could feel that kind of despair when it dropped from 850,000 to zero... But the logic of turning things around afterward is indeed sound, just about surviving longer.

Wow, this reversal—from zero to 800,000... I just want to know how you managed to get through your first liquidation; your mental toughness must be incredible.

850,000 wiped out and then earning back 800,000. This kind of repeated grinding is true skill. But to be honest, most people can't endure until the second chance.
