Surviving in the crypto space, the most common mistake beginners make is trying to get rich overnight. But in reality, the first goal should not be making money, but staying alive — that is, finding ways not to lose money first.

It sounds simple, but actually requires time to accumulate. You need to spend effort learning the basics, mastering some trading techniques, and understanding the importance of risk management. Only then can you exchange experiences with others and learn from each other. Only by truly letting go of the obsession with "making big money" and approaching with the mindset of "I want to learn something" can you stand firm in this circle.

The most important point: never treat trading as gambling. Once the gambler's mentality takes over, it's very hard to turn things around. Protect your principal, learn steadily, and progress step by step — doing these three things will greatly improve your survival chances in the crypto world.

That's right, I was completely ruined in the beginning by the "dream of getting rich quickly"... Now I understand that living is much more important than making money. --- Not losing money is the first lesson, but unfortunately most people have fallen into this trap. --- Gambler's mentality is truly poison; I've seen too many people have their dreams shattered overnight. --- Learning, risk control, and mindset—none of these can be missing. Having only one is really useless. --- The most feared are those newbies who go all-in right away... playing like that will eventually lead to trouble. --- Treat trading as a job, not a gamble—that's the essence of survival. --- Protecting principal sounds simple, but actually testing human nature when it comes to doing it. --- Taking gradual steps may seem slow, but it's the only way to avoid a major crash. --- If you can't get past the mindset hurdle, all the knowledge in the world is useless. --- When I first entered the circle, I just wanted to make quick money, but I ended up losing the fastest—ironic, isn't it?

That's true, but the key is how many people can really avoid greed. I've seen many wake up from the dream of doubling in a month.

To be honest, this theory sounds good, but very few people can actually implement it. What about those who went all in right after joining? They're bankrupt now. However, you did hit the nail on the head with the first step of "not losing money."

That's right, not losing money is the first step. Too many people start thinking about doubling their money right after they get in. Honestly learning trading techniques is better than anything else. Don't spend all day staring at candlesticks like a gambler. Capital protection is the most important. A gambler's mentality can really ruin a person.
