#数字资产市场动态 From a monthly income of 20,000-30,000 to an account balance of 38.51 million, I have been on this path for 4 years.



I am 38 years old from Fujian, and I officially entered the crypto world in 2017. At first, I just wanted to find a new way to grow my savings, but little did I know that this decision would change my entire life trajectory.

Back then in Guangzhou, my monthly income was only 20,000-30,000 yuan. Want to buy a house? The down payment was a distant dream. It was only after getting into the crypto market that I suddenly realized—relying solely on salary savings might never be enough in this lifetime. I had to find the power of trends and let my funds run.

**Doing the right thing is simple; the hard part is sticking to it.**

In 2020, I invested most of my family’s savings. Mainly holding ETH, with some BTC and a small amount of altcoins. Whenever the market corrected, I kept adding more, especially during the 519 crash—while others were cutting losses, I was aggressively accumulating at low levels. My approach was very clear: no high leverage, no borrowing—only trading those markets I truly understood.

By 2021, when BTC broke through its all-time high, I realized the bull run was nearing its end. Around 58,000 yuan, I sold off most of my positions; when ETH hit 4,400, I sold quite a bit as well. Later, it proved how close that timing was to the top.

By the end of the bull market, my account showed 38.51 million. I took out 10 million to buy property in Shenzhen, placed 20 million in the bank for interest, and kept the remaining 8.51 million invested in the market.

**These experiences are worth reviewing.**

✦ The principal was saved bit by bit through my own efforts, never using leverage or borrowing money.
✦ Only seize high-probability opportunities, avoid frequent trading.
✦ Control greed; know when to take profits and exit.
✦ Make money from long-term cycles, not from intraday fluctuations.

Many people are obsessed with getting rich quickly, but those who actually succeed share a common trait: they know how to wait, dare to hold heavy positions at key moments, and understand when to step back. Opportunities in the crypto market are always there, but mindset and discipline are what separate winners from losers.

Sounds good, but isn't it just about betting on the right timing? The problem is that most of us simply can't determine the top. Hearing this theory a hundred times is useless; in the end, it still comes down to luck.

519 That wave I also heavily bought in, just didn't hold until the end, uh... Not using leverage is really key, a bunch of friends around me lost everything this way. Sold at 58000 and 4400, their vision is truly sharp. This story sounds good, but I always feel like something's missing. Persistence is the hardest, my problem is that my hands are too itchy. 38.51 million sounds great, but paper wealth and realized wealth are two different things.

That's right, the true winner in life without leverage is the real winner. This guy has grasped the big cycle, I really admire those who can hold back from trading. So the key is still mindset, not luck. That wave at 519 was indeed a litmus test; the timid cut losses, while he was adding to his position. That's how the gap was created. Wait, how does he know that 58000 and 4400 are the peaks? How is this kind of intuition developed? Hold on to what you believe in, and withdraw what you don't; it sounds simple but in practice it's hell mode. But I've heard this story a hundred times, who knows what's true or false. It's a bit like survivor bias in samples; the successful voices are always the loudest.
