#Strategy加码BTC配置 That year, with 1200 yuan of principal, I eventually achieved a 300-fold return.



Not relying on tips, not relying on any divine signals, just three words: endure, tolerate, hold.

When I first entered the circle, I was just like all newbies, watching others show off their trades every day—once a contract with 3x leverage earned five thousand yuan in a day, and I thought I could do this too. Reality slapped me hard: three consecutive days of stop-loss triggers, and the account plummeted from 3000 directly down to 1200.

That day, I sat foolishly in front of the screen for a long time, my heart pounding rapidly, hands trembling uncontrollably. My eyes were sore and swollen, unable to open fully, and my mind was completely blank.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered a saying: In the crypto world, it’s not about who is the smartest, but about who figures out first—when to let go.

Starting from that bottom at 1200, I completely changed my approach. I no longer chase overnight riches, just focus on staying alive.

Whenever a trade gains 20%, I immediately close half of the position. Lock in profits, protect the principal, and treat the rest as a gamble.

No greed, no gambling, no emotional attachment—that’s the entire secret.

During that period, I basically slept less than four hours a night. At 2 a.m., wrapped in a quilt, I stared at the screen, watching BTC and ETH candlesticks, taking profits exactly at 5 a.m., and starting to review my trades one by one at 8 a.m.

My friends around me said I was crazy, but I laughed at them for being too stable. But that’s the magic of the crypto world—those who aren’t "crazy" enough have already been filtered out by the market.

When my account grew to 18,000, I noticed people around me gradually clearing their positions. Some lost everything, some cut their losses and ran. But I did the opposite: the more I accumulated, the lighter my positions became.

I never let a single position exceed 30% of my total funds. The remaining 70% is emergency reserve—an anti-explosion fund.

This market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are accounts that survive long enough.

I remember one trade very clearly.

At that time, the market was in extreme panic, with bearish news everywhere. I held on tightly to my position, setting my stop-loss very far back, waiting ten days—ten days, every second feeling like a year.

Then, suddenly, the market reversed. That wave directly tripled my account.

At that moment, I fully understood what "big market" means:

The ones who make big money are never those who trade every day, but those who can grit their teeth and "hold on" stubbornly.

Later, many people asked me how I grew from a small account to the current scale—my answer is always the same: it’s about mindset, not leverage.

Market fluctuations are unpredictable; true experts are not earning every day, but knowing when to be conservative. When losing, stay calm; when earning, know when to stop.

There are no gods in the crypto world, but the methodology is there. Anyone who seriously thinks about it can do what I do.

The only prerequisite is: you must really want to survive.

If your account is currently losing money, or you’re afraid to act because of the market trend, maybe now is the time to change. Start with risk control, start with position management, learn to stay steady and survive in this market.

1200 bucks can grow to 300 times? How much patience does that require... Just thinking about it makes me almost go crazy in those ten days. 2. Well said, but how many can actually execute it? Most people want to sell after a 20% increase. 3. Staying up at 2 a.m. watching the market... Is this the legendary way of making money by risking your life? 4. Laughing to death, another success story of "holding and enduring," and the next crash will have to start all over again. 5. Mindset is indeed important, but without a bit of luck, you don't even have a chance to survive, really. 6. Wait, is the 70% anti-explosion fund serious? So what can the remaining 30% do? 7. This is the crypto world, a survival of the fittest rule; losers have already left the market. 8. Living long doesn't necessarily mean being a winner; big gains with low probability are the true dream.

Honestly, I need to read this 1200 to 300 times to believe it... But logically, there's no problem, it's just a huge test of human nature. The most important thing I remember from this guy is—living a long life is much more important than making quick money. I used to be that kind of fool who thought about doubling my money every day, but what happened? One leveraged liquidation sent me back to square one. Now, when I read this, the most heartbreaking part is the "70% anti-explosion fund" setup. Most people simply can't do it—once they make a little profit, they want to go all in, then get slapped awake by the market.

1200 to 300x? That's a joke, what kind of mindset is that... Just thinking about watching the market for ten days makes my legs weak. Wait, looking back at his logic, 20% just breaks even... Sure, it's stable, but does that mean we're missing all the bottom-fishing opportunities? The hardest part in the crypto world isn't finding opportunities, it's resisting the urge to gamble. This guy really nailed my question. He's right, big money is never made by trading; it's about holding on tightly. But on the other hand, most people can't last two weeks. From 3000 down to 1200... I can feel that despair. Honestly, how many people still thought about turning things around at that time? Talking about risk control sounds easy, but actually doing it is really torturous. This guy's anti-explosion fund setup is indeed brilliant—70% emergency reserve, most retail investors simply can't do that. But I still want to ask, how much of that 300x is luck? Can this logic still work when the market moves against you? But I have to admit, his line "accounts that live long enough" really woke me up.

To be honest, this mindset is indeed undeniable, but the problem is... most people simply can't endure until that moment.

Enduring, patience, and perseverance may sound simple, but how many truly practice them? I think the key is that mental turning point—shifting from the pursuit of overnight wealth to "just staying alive." That mindset makes all the difference.

Honestly, mindset is worth much more than skills. Holding on for ten days to triple your investment—that's the real way to make big money. But going from 1,200 to 360,000 sounds easy, in reality, every second is testing your mental resilience. While others have sold everything and run, you're still holding firm—this kind of resolve is truly remarkable.

Enduring a liquidation is true skill; otherwise, it's all just talk.

I agree with this logic, but execution is too difficult; most people fail at this mental hurdle.

Listen, listen, isn't this just a replica of what I did last year? Starting with 1200 bucks, that old feeling of hardship. But to be honest, this guy's mindset is truly remarkable. I'm still stuck in the trap of repeatedly cutting losses.

To be honest, this mindset is truly incredible. Going from 1200 to 300 times is no joke. Wait, about those ten days of holding the position you mentioned... I just want to ask, have you really never had the thought of selling? Sleeping less than four hours and rolling the account sounds exciting, but can your body really handle it? But on the other hand, being alive is the hard truth. This phrase hits home; too many people die before dawn. The most ruthless part is the 70% anti-explosion gold logic. If it were me, I would have already sold everything haha.
