#比特币对比代币化黄金 Last month I ran into an old buddy who was complaining to me. That wave in ETH wiped out his account—his principal shrank from tens of thousands straight down to just over 2,000 USDT.



This guy has actually been in the space for a while, but all his trades are based on gut feeling—chasing when it’s up, cutting losses when it’s down. He could lose two or three grand in a single day; just seeing the account balance hurt.

“If I keep going like this, I’ll really have to quit the space,” he said at the time.

I told him the truth: Don’t think about going all-in with this 2,000 USDT to make a comeback. This is your seed money for a fresh start. True recovery never comes from hitting it big on a single trade—it’s about treating every trade as part of a long-term campaign.

The strategy I gave him wasn’t complicated—the core is to “endure.” If the market doesn’t give a clear signal, just stay on the sidelines, don’t get caught up in the ups and downs.

Strictly limit each position to within 400 USDT; even if you’re wrong, the most you’ll lose is that much—it won’t hurt you badly. He used to lose 2,000 a day, but now he’s steadily making three to five hundred per trade.

Always set a stop loss. Losing isn’t a big deal; what you should really fear is holding on until liquidation. After each trade, review what happened. Gradually, his trading logic got clearer and his mindset calmed down.

Two months later, his account balance hit 70,000 USDT. It wasn’t a stroke of luck, and he didn’t stumble on any 10x coins. He just kept to the rhythm, stuck to discipline, and ground it out bit by bit.

If you’re one of those guys left with just a few thousand USDT, don’t get discouraged. The market never lacks opportunities—it only lacks people who can control themselves and stay patient.

Getting back on track isn’t something you can rush. Take it step by step, and time will naturally give you the answer. The path is already here—it’s just a matter of whether you can keep up with the rhythm.

This is really alive, not a gambler's mentality that can turn the tables

This is the truth, unlike those who brag about making ten times their money every day. --- The key is to control your impulses; too many people fail because of this. --- Wait, turning $2,000 into $70,000 in two months? This data needs to be verified, bro. --- Easier said than done; very few people truly withstand the test of mentality. --- The "seed money" analogy is spot on—a lot of people don't even understand this. --- The importance of stop-loss has been emphasized countless times, yet some people still don't set it and end up getting liquidated. --- Feels like you're talking about me—hits a bit close to home. --- Rhythm and discipline—in the end, you have to survive in order to make money.

Hmm, makes sense. Discipline really can save you. I've seen too many people get liquidated trying to go all-in for a comeback. The key is to endure, I agree with that. From 2,000 to 70,000 in two months? Damn, I need to reflect on that. There are indeed few people who can control themselves. I need to restrain myself too.

This guy's story sounds real enough, just missing the mindset for stop-loss and take-profit. But to be honest, turning 2,000U into 70,000 just by discipline? I only half believe it—luck definitely plays a big part too. The key is still that word "endure," a lot of people really do lose out because of their mentality. This set of methods works for tokenized assets too, just don't go all-in.

This guy really resonates with me—getting cut down to 2,000 makes everything completely different. You need a really strong mindset for that. Talk is cheap without action; the key is sticking to that 400U discipline, or else you'll lose control again. That's why I say, making a huge profit and making steady profits are two completely different levels. The latter really requires endurance. Taking an account from rock bottom to 70,000 is definitely a grueling process, but the real danger is for those who just can't stop. Turning 2,000U around isn't a dream; it all comes down to whether you can really control yourself. Most people fail right there.

The key lies in the position control of that 400U. According to risk management theory, the proportion of a single position to the total capital directly determines the maximum allowable drawdown. It’s worth noting that, based on on-chain data, most liquidated traders have precisely ignored this point.
