In 2016, the company went bankrupt. With only 50,000 yuan left, I spent a week in the internet cafe downstairs in the community watching K-lines, and in the end, I closed my eyes and bought 8 bitcoins with all my savings.
—— Who could have imagined at that time that this pile of "invisible and intangible code" would allow my account to accumulate 30 million in 8 years.
But don't be envious, I have long given up on the "get-rich-quick myth."
In 2017, when bitcoin skyrocketed, my account surged to 800,000, dreaming of "exchanging for a luxury car by the end of the year," but in 2018, it plummeted to 180,000, shattering my luxury car dream more fragile than glass.
Since then, I have realized that surviving in the crypto world is a thousand times more important than making quick money.
In these 8 years, I have encountered pitfalls, compiling three practical tips that ordinary people can easily follow, no nonsense:
First tip: Your capital is more important than your face; withdraw your principal first when you make a 50% profit.
In 2021, I followed the trend and bought a meme coin. As soon as it rose by 50%, I withdrew my principal, letting the remaining profit fluctuate as it pleased. Later, when the coin dropped to a fraction of its value, I ended up making a little pocket money.
Remember, platform exits and tokens hitting zero are common. As long as your principal is there, you can still recover next time.
Second tip: Don't touch money you don't understand, even if it's a golden mountain. Don't believe in "insider information" or "hundredfold coin recommendations"; I only look at three things: Can I understand the white paper? Does the team have publicly available resumes? Is the token issued freely?
During the IEO craze in 2019, everyone in the circle shouted, "Missing out will break your legs," but I didn’t follow the trend because I couldn’t understand the project logic. Later, those projects all exited.
Third tip: Don't go all in; allocate your funds according to "6211." I always allocate my money like this: 60% to buy bitcoin and ethereum, as these two are the big brothers and won't drop too much;
20% to mainstream public chains; 10% to try new tracks with a little money, as I won't feel bad if I lose; 10% to keep cash on hand in case of a sudden drop so I can buy more. No single currency should exceed 15%; sleeping soundly is better than anything else.
Another life-saving detail: Only use large platforms like Coinbase and OKX that have proper licenses. Write down the cold wallet mnemonic on paper and never take screenshots on your phone. Last year, my neighbor lost tens of thousands overnight because he stored screenshots in the cloud.
The crypto world is never a casino; it's a "survivor game." No one wins continuously by luck; those who laugh last are the ones who keep the risks in their own hands.
