Having immersed myself in the Digital Money market for three years, starting with an initial 10,000 USDT and now reaching an account balance of 670,000, this journey has been full of challenges and insights. There were no insider tips, nor myths of overnight riches; it was only through 1,095 days and nights of focus and learning that I was able to establish myself in this rapidly changing market.



When I first entered the market, like most beginners, I was searching everywhere for the so-called 'winning formula,' but ended up experiencing constant losses. It wasn't until I started to view trading as a 'skill upgrade' game that I truly began to make breakthroughs.

My first epiphany came from a late-night market fluctuation. The coin I held suddenly surged by 20%, and then slowly retraced over the next four days. Due to tension and panic, I chose to cut my losses and exit on the fifth day. However, frustratingly, the next day the coin price broke through the previous high and surged by 180%. This experience taught me a lesson: a slow retracement after a rapid rise is often the main force washing out positions, and a real top usually accompanies a sharp drop with high volume, leaving retail investors no chance to escape.

The most painful lesson came from an unsuccessful attempt to catch a bottom. After a certain coin plummeted by 40%, there was a series of small rebounds, and I mistakenly thought it had hit the bottom, resulting in me buying in with my entire position. However, this was just a brief respite in the downturn, and a week later, my assets had shrunk by half. This experience made me deeply realize that a gentle rebound after a crash is often a dangerous trap.

Now, when I observe the market, I first pay attention to the trading volume and then look at the price trend. I remember once, a certain coin was in a high position for two weeks, but the trading volume shrank day by day, so I decisively chose to liquidate my position. Three days later, this coin plummeted by 50% in a single day. True market experts can detect potential risks when the surface is calm.

My biggest breakthrough has been learning the art of 'not trading'. I once maintained a position of no trades for 47 consecutive days, missing many seemingly 'opportunities', but at the same time, I avoided all the crashes. Now I deeply understand that successful trading is not about frequent operations, but about making accurate judgments at critical moments.

The experiences of these three years have completely reshaped my understanding: the market will never lack opportunities; what is lacking are traders with patience and discipline. If you are also on the path of Digital Money trading, please remember: slow is fast, and less is more. True financial freedom should start with the freedom of mindset.

Looking back, I seem to have transformed from a person groping in the dark into a guide holding a bright lamp. This lamp will continue to illuminate the road ahead. Are you willing to follow?
