Six years ago, the saying: "Leave me, and you are nothing," was originally a source of shame, but it became a form of salvation.

I decided to respond with action. After giving up a career in finance and living humbly for many years, I chose to start over. Over six years, I have been deeply involved in the crypto world, starting from zero. Looking back now, the over 30 million yuan in my bank account, three properties, and two luxury cars—each was earned through my own efforts.

No one saw the countless sleepless nights I spent reviewing, and no one knows how many losing pits I have stepped into. To get to where I am today, it’s not luck that’s been the main factor, nor any insider shortcuts, but six "stupid" principles I’ve developed through market experience.

These principles are not profound—

**Rapid gains, slow declines, are driven by main players accumulating**. After a sharp rise, a gentle correction is likely large funds quietly building positions. Don’t be fooled by surface fluctuations; the rhythm is key.

**Rapid drops, weak rebounds usually mean distribution**. If it crashes suddenly and can’t recover, it’s basically funds pulling out. Don’t try to catch the bottom; it’s the easiest time to get trapped.

**Volume increase at high levels doesn’t necessarily mean a top**. Sometimes, volume surges at the top are still pushing forward; a decrease in volume at the top is more likely to signal the end of the trend.

**A single large volume at the bottom doesn’t count**. Continuous volume increases are the real bottom. A sudden spike in volume is often an illusion; only multiple sustained volume increases indicate the market has truly reached a consensus.

**Crypto trading is about psychology, not charts**. No matter how complex the technical indicators, they ultimately point to market sentiment. Volume is the most direct reflection of emotion.

**"Nothingness" is the highest realm**. Desireless, fearlessness, and non-attachment are what allow long-term survival. Enduring the quiet periods gives you the qualification to welcome big trends.

Ultimately, the greatest opponent in trading is oneself. Good news and bad news, market manipulations, and sell-offs are external factors; what truly determines your fate are emotions, discipline, and mindset.

The crypto world is never short of risks and opportunities, but seeking stability and rational planning is the only way to go further. I have already validated this path through practical experience.
