Recently came across an interesting investment case. A trader initially relied on short-term trading, frequently entering and exiting the gold and silver markets, but ended up losing everything. Later, they changed their approach, strictly controlled position sizes, reduced leverage risk, and abandoned a gambling mentality, making each trade steady and disciplined.

What was the result? The account went from 70,000 to 240,000 directly.

Honestly, many people make money in the crypto market, but few can survive long-term. Most fail due to greed and lack of risk control. This trader's experience illustrates a simple truth: following a professional approach is much more effective than reckless trading. Whether it's BTC, ETH, or other mainstream coins, the underlying logic is the same—respect the market rhythm and manage expectations well.

In October, the crypto market continues to see changes, with ETF policies and RWA tracks heating up. Those who understand risk balancing are the ones who will laugh last.

BTC0,55%

ETH1,55%

70,000 to 240,000, to put it simply, it means giving up on gambling, I feel like this theory applies to every market.

70,000 to 240,000, sounds great, but I always feel like this is just survivor bias. To be honest, risk control is indeed important, but many people who follow the standard procedures in the market still end up losing everything. Those who can truly earn passively would have achieved financial freedom long ago. This brother is quite lucky, but I still believe in the saying "live longer." Short-term trading is indeed the number one cause of death in the industry, that's right.

70,000 to 240,000... Damn, this is the difference between self-discipline and greed.

In simple terms, it's about quitting the gambler's mentality. Turning 70,000 into 240,000 is really not a dream; the key is whether you can endure.

Basically, the key to being a winner is to live longer; the short-term trading strategies should have been phased out long ago.

Exactly right, risk control is the moat. I've seen too many people go straight to zero after leveraging, it's truly unbelievable. That guy's method of turning 70,000 into 240,000 is the right way—steady compound interest is the key to long-term survival.

70,000 to 240,000, this is the power of greed a little less. Really, how many people around me have died on leverage, still dreaming of a big gamble to turn things around, it's hilarious.

That's right, the returns from 70,000 to 240,000 are indeed eye-catching, but this guy has truly achieved enlightenment. I used to trade frequently, watching the market like a madman every day, but I later realized that was just gambling. Risk control is really the true moat.

Haha, I told you, risk control really isn't nonsense. You only understand after being liquidated. In the early days, I went all in on a whim, and three liquidations taught me what it means to "stay alive to make money." I believe this guy turned 70,000 into 240,000, but the key is perseverance. Most people go bankrupt before reaching that point.
