#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 On the day of LUNA, my account dropped from 2.17 million to 43,000.



My phone buzzed—my wife sent a message: “We haven’t paid Xiaoke’s early education fee this month.”

I completely broke down. Hid in the bathroom, sat on the toilet and cried so hard I couldn’t catch my breath.

That night I finally understood—investing isn’t about gambling with your life, it’s about bearing responsibility.

After that, I locked out leverage and developed my own set of trading rules. I pulled together a small group of a dozen or so friends who’d all been beaten up by the market. We’re all people who’ve been liquidated—no one laughs at anyone else.

We set a principle: Don’t chase 100x dreams, only go for compounding gains that let you sleep at night.

Positioning is like stacking blocks—start with 2 units to test the waters, add more if it rises. Single trade stop-loss is strictly kept at 1%, not a bit more. With this simple approach, we managed to survive the huge volatility in 2023.

Later, we figured out something—multi-timeframe resonance: Only go heavy when both the 4-hour and daily charts show a golden cross and trading volume doubles. Last year, we caught three big moves just like that.

There’s also the “Volume Filtering Method”: Price hits a new high, volume doubles, and it holds for three days—that’s a real breakout. Otherwise, it’s just a bull trap for those chasing the pump. We’ve avoided a lot of pitfalls this way.

Three years have passed. From the original 18 people to now over a thousand, from being wiped-out old hands to 28 consecutive months without a single liquidation. Some brothers have paid off their mortgages with steady profits, others have saved enough for their kids’ overseas education.

Now when I think of myself crying in the bathroom back then, I’m actually grateful for that breakdown. There are no legends in crypto, only discipline. Real success means your family can sleep well at night.

One person can’t beat the market, but maybe a group of reliable people can. $BTC $ETH $BNB

The part about squatting in the bathroom really hit home. This is the real face of the crypto world, not some get-rich-quick myth.

This story hits harder than any technical analysis. That LUNA incident really brought a lot of people back to square one.

The part about squatting in the restroom was really epic, but to be honest, you still have to admit that discipline is more valuable than anything else.

This story really hits home... That phrase "letting my family sleep peacefully" is worth more than any 100x coin.

When it dropped from 2.17 million to 43,000, I felt like I was looking at myself in the mirror... I can't even save enough for the gas fees now.

Crying while squatting in the bathroom really hits home. The weight of responsibility is heavier than anything else. There are no legends in the crypto world, only those who survive.

I really couldn't hold it together during the part about squatting in the bathroom, but later on, this set of rules really does save people. That's how the crypto world is—sometimes a shattered dream can actually save a life.
