#数字资产生态回暖 Ten years of ups and downs in the crypto world, the most expensive tuition was paid for a dream called ADA.

I still remember the year it soared from $0.03 all the way to $1.2, with my account balance nearly 40 times larger. The first thing I did every morning was to check the K-line chart, even choosing the layout of my new house. But what happened? Greed cost me my life—watching it fall back to $0.2, with 80% of my profit instantly evaporating, and all my dreams shattered.

That night, I suddenly understood a brutal truth: in this market, being able to buy the dip isn’t a skill; taking action is real expertise.

After some reflection, I set two ironclad rules for myself, especially for those who don’t have time to monitor the market 24/7. These methods have saved me countless times.

**First Discipline: Ladder Exit**

Instead of rushing all in or holding on stubbornly, do this—when the coin price rises from $1 to $2, sell 30% first, fully withdraw the initial capital. From this moment on, only your profits are at risk, and your mindset changes completely.

If it continues to rise to $3? Sell another 30% to lock in gains. The remaining 40% should be set with a trailing stop (automatic close when it drops 15% from the highest point). This way, you won’t miss the big bull market, and you also ensure that the money you make won’t be lost back.

**Second Discipline: 5% Stop Loss**

Before each buy, immediately set a stop-loss at -10%. Some say this is for cowards, but I call it “putting a seatbelt on your account.”

Yes, sometimes after a stop-loss, the coin price may rebound or even double in the short term. I’ve been mocked by friends for being “too quick.” But let me tell you, three months later, that coin ended up zero, while my principal remained intact.

In the crypto world, long-term survival is a thousand times more important than quick riches. Without capital, there’s no chance to turn things around—that’s a hard truth.

Those who truly put money in their pocket are always the ones who treat rules like religious commandments.
