Since entering 2025, I have learned several key lessons in digital asset trading that are worth sharing with fellow traders.

First is the warning line for leverage usage. Whether using full position or isolated margin mode, avoid the temptation of exceeding 10x leverage. Only when trading mainstream assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, which have sufficient liquidity and relatively controllable volatility, can more aggressive leverage strategies be considered. For other coins, conservative leverage settings are the key to longevity.

Second, changing the trading environment is equally important. Do not operate casually on your phone, as it is too easy to be influenced by emotions. Treat trading as a real job—sit in front of your computer, develop a clear plan, and strictly follow your strategy. Such discipline often determines the final profit performance.

10x leverage is really dangerous, I've already cleared out two friends around me haha --- Trading on mobile is so heartbreaking, I lost the most by randomly操作ing from bed --- Calmly executing in front of the computer vs panicking to close positions in the bathroom, the difference is huge --- Mainstream coins can be a bit more aggressive, but for altcoins, stick to within 3x honestly --- The phrase "活久见" (long life experience) is used perfectly, staying alive is indeed more satisfying than overnight riches --- It's really different in front of the computer, without the immediate feedback from the phone, I wouldn't be疯狂割肉 (recklessly cutting losses) --- Discipline is real, but most people just can't do it --- Those who爆仓 (liquidated) with 10x leverage probably treat leverage like a lottery --- I'm currently trading on my phone, looks like I need to change this habit --- BTC ETH are okay, but once you touch small coins, you really should be more honest

The 10x leverage setup has long become boring; you still need to stay alive to make money. You can only stay calm in front of a computer; on your phone, it's just a gambler's mentality, which is so true. BTC is reliable; small altcoins are a no-go, the risk is ridiculously high. As soon as you open your phone, you want to go all-in; this is a common problem, everyone. Discipline determines life or death; this statement hit the mark. The desire to buy the dip is strong, but leverage must be controlled—lessons learned the hard way. There have been so many liquidations at 10x leverage, yet some still play; it's really time to reflect.

10x leverage? I advise you to take it easy. I've seen too many people go all-in and not make it... --- Only in front of a computer can you see it happen; trading on a phone = suicide. --- BTC and ETH can be more aggressive, but for other coins? Better to play it safe. --- Discipline is really important. Trading without a plan is just gambling. --- Mobile trading is most easily affected by emotions, and that's true. --- Leverage over 10x? I haven't heard of anyone coming out alive.

10x leverage? I think 5x is already too much for me --- Mobile trading is the most costly, and the biggest losses happen then --- Discipline is important, but who can really do it? Haha --- BTC and ETH can be aggressive, but I really don’t dare to try other coins --- As I always say, the real winner is the one who lives to exit --- Making plans in front of the computer sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult --- Leverage is just a way to collect IQ taxes, I’m too cautious --- Emotional trading is irrational, and mobile devices make it easiest to fall into this trap --- Mainstream coins with good liquidity are indeed the foundation; daring to take risks is essential --- Being a bit more conservative can really help you survive longer
