I know a guy from Hunan who’s been in the crypto space for 7 years and has lost over 2.1 million USDT in total.
To be honest, I was stunned when I first heard that number—how does someone lose over two million in principal over 7 years?
But what surprised me even more was that, unlike most people, he didn’t just give up and go all-in with his last bit of money in a desperate attempt to recover. He told me calmly, “I’ll just do what you said, execute step by step.”
Over the next six months, he did the following:
**Split his principal into 10 parts** Never risked more than 15% per trade, and never went all-in.
**Only rolled profits into more profits** Kept the principal locked and untouched, only used earned profits for reinvestment.
**Cutting losses is more important than making money** Kept each trade’s loss under 3%—survival is always the top priority.
**Stayed out of the market when things were unclear** Acted decisively when it was time, but stayed in cash when he didn’t understand the market.
The market went up and down as usual over those six months, with one liquidation after another making the rounds, but he stuck to these rules and steadily earned back over a million USDT.
Yesterday he messaged me: “I’ve broken even. I’m planning to leave the space. This place is too risky; I’m satisfied just making it out safely.”
When I saw that message, I had mixed feelings. So many people are stuck in crypto forever, but he managed to walk a path that most can’t, all thanks to discipline and execution.
Turning things around in crypto has never been about some magic trick—it’s about position management and iron discipline.
The real reason for being liquidated is usually not a bad market call, but your inability to control your own hands.
If you’re still stuck in the endless cycle of “losing money—trying to recover,” maybe it’s time to stop and think—is your method itself flawed?
I can’t guarantee anyone will get rich overnight, but at the very least, you can move forward more steadily and with a clearer head.
On the day, you can keep an eye on: POWER, ETH, DAM

Those who prioritize stability will endure forever.
