#比特币对比代币化黄金 In 2021, I entered the crypto space with 100,000, and all my friends said I was just giving away money. They were half right—after two months, my account balance dropped to 20,000.

Back then, I also thought it was all just gambling, until I met Old Zhou. He looked at my trading history and said, "It's not that you're unlucky, it's that you have no system at all."

Old Zhou gave me four life-saving rules. I followed them for three years, and my account grew from 100,000 to 1,000,000. Now I’m sharing these lessons for those who still think "crypto = casino."

**Rule 1: Diversify your positions, always keep something in reserve**
I used to go all-in on altcoins, blowing up my account in one shot. Then I got smarter—60% long-term in $BTC and $ETH, 30% for swing trading, and the last 10% in cash waiting for opportunities. During last year's crash, it was that 10% that let me buy the dip and triple my money.

**Rule 2: Set a hard stop-loss, cut your losses at 10%**
Don’t fantasize about breaking even. Once I bought $LTC, it dropped 15% and I hesitated, then it kept crashing to 90% down. Since then, my iron rule: never lose more than 20% on a single trade, and if I add to a position, only up to 50%. Holding onto a losing position? That’s just the prelude to getting stuck deep.

**Rule 3: Stick to blue chips, stay away from vaporware**
I’ve seen friends lose 500,000 in pyramid schemes, with project teams running off and everything going to zero. I only play with things like $BTC $ETH. In a bull market, I take profits at +30%. In a bear market, I buy more at -20%. Occasionally, I try out some quality altcoins with a small position, but I never get carried away.

**Rule 4: Follow the trend, don’t fight the market**
Watch the 200-day moving average—if it holds, buy the dips; if it breaks, go to cash and wait. At the end of last year, it broke down and I exited everything, avoiding a 50% drop; this year, when it stabilized, I got back in and caught the rebound.

Turning 100,000 to 1,000,000 in three years wasn’t luck—it was discipline, a system, and execution. Crypto has never been a casino; it’s a battlefield—and the winners all know how to follow the rules.

If you’re still chasing pumps and dumps and losing until you’re numb, remember this: making money is about discipline, not luck. If your strategy is right, time will give you the answer.
