Why do people still throw themselves into a market with such high contract risks, knowing the dangers? Honestly, most people fantasize about a sudden turnaround overnight.

When I entered the crypto world in 2017, I only had 10,000 yuan. Now, the amount in my hands is 36 million. It’s not due to insider information or live trading calls, but because I坚持用一套“又笨又稳”的方法。

Over the years, I’ve experienced liquidations, sharp retracements, countless sleepless nights, and repeated anxiety. The pitfalls I’ve stepped into and the tuition I’ve paid have finally led me to summarize six core iron laws.

Understanding each one thoroughly can help you lose ten thousand yuan less; mastering three of them can help you avoid ninety percent of market traps.

**First Law: Rapid rise and slow decline, don’t rush to sell.**
This kind of movement is usually not a market top, but the main players accumulating positions. Be truly cautious of: a sharp surge followed by a quick dump—that’s a signal of harvesting.

**Second Law: Rapid decline and slow rise, don’t blindly buy the dip.**
A small rebound after a sudden drop is often a bait—an illusion before the real sell-off. Don’t be fooled by the illusion of “it’s not falling anymore,” as the market loves to punish those with overconfidence.

**Third Law: High volume at a high level isn’t necessarily bad; lack of volume is the real danger.**
Volume indicates that bulls and bears are still fighting, and participants haven’t all exited; no volume means the main players have quietly left, leaving only air in the market.

**Fourth Law: Don’t rush to buy at the bottom when volume increases; watch for sustainability.**
A single day of huge volume doesn’t mean much, but continuous volume increase, especially after consolidation, is a true signal of building positions.

**Fifth Law: Candlestick patterns are just surface; trading volume reveals the underlying truth.**
The price of a coin is essentially a reflection of market sentiment. Understanding changes in volume is the real way to see through the market.

**Sixth Law: The highest realm is “nothing.”**
Without attachments, you can patiently wait on the sidelines for opportunities; without greed, you have the courage to take profits and exit timely; without fear, you dare to enter at the right moment. Controlling your emotions is more difficult than learning to read trends.

If you also want to change your passive situation—stop following the crowd, stop losing repeatedly—then truly incorporate these six laws into your trading system. Follow the right mindset, choose the right methods, and steadily profit in the crypto world—only then can you truly reach the shore.

Here we go again with the same rhetoric, from 10,000 to 36 million... I don’t believe a word of it. --- The trading volume has indeed been overlooked by most people, but claiming it as absolute is a bit exaggerated. --- No obsession, no greed, no fear... Easy to say, but how many can truly do it? --- The key to bottoming out with volume is consistency, which is pretty good. I’ve been fooled by single-day surges before. --- High contract risk and still playing? Honestly, it’s just gambler’s mentality at work. --- Rapid rises and slow declines are indeed easy to misjudge. I’ve fallen into this trap before. --- If you can really hold onto these six points, you’d be financially free long ago. Why are you still sharing this? --- I agree that quick dips followed by rebounds are bait, but avoiding them isn’t that simple. --- Controlling emotions is much harder than reading trends. That really hit home for me. --- “Cannot fall anymore” is just a market trick, trying to get you to take over the position.

36 million sounds great, but to be honest... I remain skeptical about this theory. Just by looking at trading volume to predict the market? Then why are there still so many technically skilled people getting liquidated?

10,000 yuan to 36 million? Man, this story is a bit far-fetched, but those six points really hit the mark. Rapid rise and slow decline, I respect that. How many people have died because of this rollercoaster? Trading volume is the real truth. This point is good; in an era where candlesticks fill the sky, finally someone is telling the truth. Honestly, the hardest part is really controlling emotions. No matter how much technical analysis you do, it's all in vain. But on the other hand, knowing so much and still losing money is also common. Combining knowledge and action is the hardest part. The logic of increasing volume at the bottom sounds right, but in actual trading, who can really wait for continuous volume increases? No obsession, no greed, no fear—that's basically trying to become an immortal, haha. Ordinary people playing with coins are just bouncing between these three emotions. The article is good, just a bit long. The core message is: managing emotions is more valuable than understanding the market.

It's the same old story, from 10,000 to 36 million... Just listen, only a few can actually do it. Don't be fooled by trading volume; when the main force dumps, volume is useless. Still the same point: controlling emotions is the hardest, but most people can't even do that.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds pretty impressive, but the key is whether you can keep your mindset under control.

Hmm... Volume analysis is essentially mind-reading. The thing I fear most when monitoring the market late at night is suddenly encountering no volume. That feeling is even worse than gas skyrocketing to 500 Gwei.

It's true, greed is the culprit. I've stepped into countless pits myself, and now the biggest fear is the impulse to buy the dip after a rapid rise and slow decline—it's really just giving away money. --- The six iron laws sound simple, but in actual operation, not a single one is easy. I tend to overlook the trading volume the most; I need to remember this more. --- No obsession, no greed, no fear—it's easy to say, but when the market turns blood-red, who can really do it? Still, I have to keep paying tuition repeatedly. --- The figure of 36 million looks tempting, but what I care about is how many pits he stepped into before he summarized this set of strategies—some lessons are hard to escape. --- Regarding the rule "Don't rush to buy on low volume," I’ve suffered big losses before. Now, whenever I see a surge in volume, I wait and watch; if there's no continuation, I run. --- The most heartbreaking thing is still that phrase "The market loves to punish those with a lucky mindset." I think of it every time I feel lucky, but I still can't change it.
