#river 36-year-old cryptocurrency arbitrage dog, family average, study average, work financial luck average, appearance okay, always thought life would be this way: early 9 to late 6, living a bland life.

By chance, entered the cryptocurrency world, in 8 years went from 300,000 to tens of millions, relying solely on a "dumbest" method:

Not relying on insider information, not relying on luck,

even to say—completely not smart.

In these 2880 days, I only repeated one thing:

Doing the simplest thing to the extreme.

The following 6 rules are my iron laws for surviving in the market.

If you understand even one, you can lose less than 100,000.

If you understand three,

you have already surpassed 90% of retail investors.

First rule: Quick rise, slow fall

This is often not a peak,

but rather funds quietly accumulating.

The real danger is not a slow pullback,

but a rapid surge followed by a sudden drop.

That’s not a washout, it’s a trap.

Second rule: Quick fall, slow rise

It’s probably not an opportunity,

but rather funds retreating.

Price crashes, then slowly rebounds,

many people will fantasize "it has fallen so much already".

But this structure,

is often the last wave of emotion.

Third rule: High volume at the top is not scary

No volume is the real danger.

If the price can still sustain high volume at the top,

it indicates there is still consensus.

What’s most feared is reaching the top but there’s total silence,

that is the true eve of a fall.

Fourth rule: Don’t get excited by one-time volume at the bottom

Only continuous volume is worth trusting.

Consecutive volume after shrinking volatility

is the trace of funds entering the market.

One-time anomalies,

more often are just bait.

Fifth rule: Trading cryptocurrency is essentially trading emotions

You think you are looking at K-lines,

but in fact, you are looking at human hearts.

Trading volume is the mirror of market consensus;

price is just the result.

Sixth rule: The highest level of ability is "nothing"

Being able to hold cash means you are not obsessed;

not chasing highs means you are not greedy;

daring to take action means you are not afraid.

This is not a Zen mindset,

it’s top-level trading psychology.

My biggest realization over the years is just one sentence:

The market never lacks opportunities, what’s lacking is clarity.

And what can really help people come out is not a stroke of luck once or twice,

but someone who can help you see the rhythm, avoid traps, and take fewer detours.

I have walked the road, I have stepped into the pits.

If you are still spinning in the market,

perhaps, you just lack someone who can "simplify complex problems" @亿哥说币
