Many people enter the crypto world with the first thought of getting rich overnight. But what’s the result? They can’t even protect their principal. Instead of discussing market ups and downs, it’s better to talk about how to truly survive in this market.

From 1800U to 360,000U, I have summarized five blood-and-tear lessons learned through money. These are not profound theories; they are realities taught by the market.

**First: If you’re wrong, cut your losses.** Set stop-losses properly and walk away when hit. The market won’t turn back just because you insist; it will only deepen your wounds.

**Second: Make five wrong trades and then shut down and sleep.** This indicates your rhythm is out of sync. Turn off the screen, get some rest, and maybe tomorrow will bring new ideas. Volatile coins like DUSK and FRAX are most likely to trap people in this state.

**Third: Take profits when you earn, secure your gains.** Account figures are virtual; real profit only counts when it’s transferred to your wallet. Develop the habit of transferring part of your earnings every time you make 2800U—this is your insurance for longer survival.

**Fourth: Only follow trends, avoid oscillations.** Trends are friends; oscillations are a knife. When you don’t understand the market, doing nothing is the wisest choice.

**Fifth: Never allocate more than 10% of your position.** Only by bearing losses can you win for the long term. Light positions keep you calm and help you see the true direction.

In this market, surviving longer is a hundred times more important than earning quickly. Don’t jump into the abyss—learn to survive, then learn to win.
