Dear seniors, I have to ask you—what exactly are the secrets to making money?

I was 120% confident and followed the trend, pouring over 700,000 into it all at once. And now? There’s less than 200,000 left in my account. I’m just a worker, and a loss of over 500,000 is like years of hard-earned savings for me.

The hardest part isn’t just the numbers, but the sense of helplessness—I feel like I’ll never get back to even. Now I’m even afraid to look at contracts, and I dare not touch them anymore.

Watching BTC, ETH, BNB, and other coins fluctuate, I realize how blind I was back then. No strategy, no risk control, just following the trend and hoping for luck. This loss, a lesson bought with money, is probably the most expensive lesson in my investment life.

I want to ask everyone—how do you survive in this market? Is there really a secret, or is the secret just not to take reckless risks like I did?

BTC0,15%

ETH0,29%

The liquidation risk of 500,000 is happening in real-time... I've seen too many cases of leverage ratios spiraling out of control and collateralization ratios hitting bottom. The issue isn't in the secret, but in the fact that you haven't set any risk control thresholds.

Oh no, losing 500,000 with nothing to show for it is really heartbreaking... I'm just wondering, so many people still fall for FOMO. Hey brother, you're still somewhat lucky to have pulled back from the cliff, some people are even worse off. There’s no secret, just being alive means you've already won more than half the battle. Honestly, recognizing your own blindness means you're not among the worst. Are you even afraid to look at the charts? Yeah, we're genuinely scared, gotta calm that mindset. There are too many stories like this in Web3 accounts, each more tragic than the last... How to survive? Just don’t go all in. 120% confidence, what good can it possibly bring? This is textbook-level cautionary tale. Another worker being cut off, that's just how the crypto world is... surviving is victory.

Bro, this wave really... I kneel to you --- The secret is, don't all in, it's that simple --- 50 million, still a worker, I can't even imagine --- Risk control is the secret, there's no second one --- This is the real way to pay tuition, how do we go from here --- I advise you to stay calm for three months before talking, don't be driven by emotions --- People who make money have long learned to cut losses, you're a negative example --- Following with 120% confidence, this... there's no hope --- I've lost money this way too, only just survived now --- Those who can survive have already won, don't think about the secret --- Even being afraid to look at the contract, this is the respect that a normal investor should have
