From 2,300U to 57,000U in my #ETH走势分析 account—looking back, there's really no secret. It all comes down to two words: relentless persistence—and don't gamble.



Eight years ago, when I first entered the space, I'd just paid off my credit card and was left with only 2,300U as principal. Staying up until 3 a.m. obsessively watching the charts was the norm. A bunch of people around me talked nonstop about 30x leverage and going all-in, but within days, I saw them crying about getting liquidated in group chats. One guy even put his entire 150,000 year-end bonus in and lost it down to just 3,000 in two weeks.

Back then, I played it safe and split my 2,300U into five parts, 460U each, operating them separately and only trading coins with relatively mild volatility for small gains. The first week, I cautiously made 480U. By the second week, my account broke 3,200U, and in the third week, it jumped straight to 6,700U. Even I was surprised at the speed. Basically, I was selling when others were FOMOing into the highs, and buying in batches when others were panic selling.

From 6,700U up to 48,000U, I stuck to the simplest method: when the market crashed and everyone was panicking, I would buy in slowly over three or four rounds; when the market surged and everyone shouted "this run is going to 100,000," I would take profits in batches. I never followed group calls, never chased new highs, and never even considered going all-in. To put it simply, I stuck firmly to the "play it safe" bottom line.

Once my account actually broke 50,000U, I became even more conservative. I set up scripts for limit orders and only touched major coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, and ADA. Every trade had clearly defined take-profit and stop-loss levels. I’d rather make a little less than risk holding overnight. Some people said I was too cautious, but they haven't seen those who borrow money to cover positions after getting liquidated and only then understand that "not losing money" is way more important than "making big money."

Over the years, I've learned just three things:
First, never put all your eggs in one basket—dividing your capital is the only way to survive long-term;
Second, never bet that a one-way market will last—calculate the odds before you act;
Third, only when your mindset is steady do you even qualify to talk about long-term gains.

There are endless opportunities in crypto, but what's lacking are people who can control themselves. If you grope around blindly, you'll pay tuition sooner or later. Only by reviewing strategies with reliable people can you go far.
ETH-3.43%
BTC-2.49%
SOL-5.62%
ADA-6.96%

Seriously, after reading this post, I have only one feeling—staying alive is harder than getting rich quick. From 2,300 to 57,000, it sounds great, but behind it all is the discipline of "not doing certain things"... Most people just can't do it; they have to go all-in to feel satisfied.

What you said about portfolio diversification is right, but it still depends on execution. Most people just listen and that's it.

This story sounds pretty real, but to be honest, turning 2300U split into five portions of 460U each into 57,000... that's a lot of luck involved. It's not something you can achieve just by "not gambling."

Position splitting is indeed an old topic, but few people actually do it... Looking at your journey from 2,300 to 57,000, to put it bluntly, all the profits are made from other people's losses. On the other hand, the thrill of going all-in at the bottom is truly addictive. No wonder so many people in the group went all-in over the past two years—now that the market has dropped, they've all been wiped out.

Damn, is this for real? From 2300 to 57000, this guy is really ruthless. But honestly, what I fear most are those people who share their success stories—it all sounds so convincing, but when it comes to doing it yourself, it’s a completely different story...

Really, I’m also using the split position strategy, but it works slowly and it’s a bit frustrating.

Honestly, I laughed when I saw the story about that guy who lost his 150,000 year-end bonus down to 3,000 in just two weeks. Isn’t that exactly like the people I know? You’re absolutely right, just don’t gamble, but a bunch of people just don’t listen and insist on going all-in before they’re satisfied. Splitting your positions sounds simple, but when it comes to actually doing it, how many people can really hold back? Having the right mindset is the key to lasting long; that’s way more effective than any candlestick chart theory. Suddenly, I feel like everything this guy said really hit home for me. What I really lack is just the self-control to keep my hands off.

This story sounds good, but I think the key is still luck—not everyone can catch that node.
