#数字货币市场回调 In that 2021 crash, my 800,000 was wiped out to zero.
I was so angry I smashed my phone, uninstalled all the apps, and basically disappeared from the crypto space for over half a year. I thought I was done with the crypto market for good, but I just couldn’t let it go—not because I wasn’t satisfied with making money, but because I refused to accept defeat.
At the beginning of last year, I only had 1,000U left. I told myself: consider this the last ticket on the boat—if I can’t turn things around, then I’ll really quit for good.
In the end, I managed to grind that 1,000U up to 25,000U, and then pushed it from 25,000 to 120,000. No insider info, no signals from anyone else.
If you want to talk about methods, I have three iron rules:
**Control Position Size** Never use more than 40% of your capital to open a position. The remaining 60% is for managing risk and adding to positions, not just sitting there.
**Control Greed** Don’t get tempted by 10x leverage—only take as much as you can handle. No matter how attractive the market is, don’t touch any trade that isn’t part of your plan.
**Control Direction** Don’t try to pick bottoms, don’t hold onto losing trades, and don’t fantasize about reversals. If the trend is clear, go long; if it breaks support, go short. When you get the direction right, pocketing several thousand U in a few minutes is the norm.
What do you do when you make a profit? Roll 30% back in to compound, withdraw 70% immediately. Always pocket your profits in batches, never give the market a chance to take it back.
That’s how, in just over a year, I not only filled the 500,000 hole, but also made over 300,000 extra.
Looking back, I finally understand: the crypto market is never about who runs faster, but who survives longer. Those who last long enough are usually the ones laughing at the end.
I’m not some expert—I’m just an ordinary person who’s fallen into every pit, lost all my principal, and almost quit the space. The only reason I made a comeback is because I carved these rules into my trading habits, and never broke them, not even once.

On the other hand, how many people can actually do what they say so nicely? The key is still the mindset. Anyway, I just can't learn it.

I was there when 800,000 went to zero instantly—it was really a textbook-level crash in the crypto world. Honestly, I’ve basically broken all three of the iron rules this guy is talking about, and the fact that I’m still here means I’ve already won.
It sounds nice, but the hardest part is really “not breaking the rules even once.” I’m still the kind of person who acts on impulse.
If this story is true, you really have to be ruthless with your mindset. But I’m more curious whether he’s still trading now, or if he’s already cashed out and left the game?
Every time I read these comeback stories, I can’t help but wonder how bad survivor bias really is.
It’s true—position management sounds great, but when the market crashes through the bottom, it’s a joke. Still, grinding from 1,000 USDT to 120,000 is impressive; you’d need an incredible amount of mental resilience.
There’s nothing wrong with making rules part of your habits. I keep losing because I always make exceptions.

Bro, that's some seriously tough mentality. Losing 800,000 all the way to zero and still being able to get back up—most people couldn't do that.

Sounds nice, but it's really just about staying alive.
The phrase "seeing who dies slower" is absolutely spot on.

Sounds like hard-earned experience you only get after actually taking some falls—way better than just armchair theories.
---
Controlling your position size is really crucial. So many people blow up on leverage, and often don’t even realize how they lost everything.
---
Losing 800,000 to zero must be incredibly hopeless, but if you can get back up after that, you’ve already beaten most people.
---
Flipping 1,000 USDT to 120,000 is insane, but honestly, you hear these compounding stories every cycle, and they all vanish by the next bear market.
---
Not holding onto losing positions and not trying to catch the bottom—these two sound simple, but very few can actually pull them off. Most people just get blinded by profits.
---
What’s wild is, some people will still go all-in on leverage after hearing this, really thinking they’re the chosen one.
---
“Survive long enough to laugh last”—that’s definitely the truth. In crypto, staying alive is worth more than how much you make.
---
Withdrawing 70% is a good habit. Saves you from giving all your gains back to the market.
---
Honestly, if you can make such a comeback without any insider info, it’s either luck or you really have something special. I’m half convinced, at best.

Listen, listen, listen, why does this story sound so familiar to me... It's always an 800,000 loss, then a comeback with 1,000U, then all this talk about controlling position size, controlling desire, controlling direction? Bro, you sound so righteous, but I just want to ask one question—does that 70% of your withdrawn money still sit in your exchange wallet? Or did you already go all in on some small coin again?

Seriously, discipline is much easier said than done.
Your hands really do shake when you’re selling—I totally get it.
That 70% withdrawal rule is brilliant. I need to learn from that, or I’ll end up taking heavy losses again.

To be honest, I've heard this story too many times, but there are indeed very few who can actually survive.
