Hello everyone, I am a veteran who has been rooted in the crypto world for ten years. I initially started with 180,000 yuan in capital, and now my assets have grown to over 80 million. Over the years, I have always stuck to spot trading and never considered trading futures. Today, I want to talk about how ordinary investors should hold onto their crypto assets in the most down-to-earth way.

Let's start with mindset. When I first got into Bitcoin, I was truly on the verge of a mental breakdown—unable to sleep all night, waking up in the middle of the night to check the market. Looking back now, it’s so laughable. I later realized that making money doesn’t rely on any advanced techniques; the key is whether you can stick to the rules you set for yourself. Just by this, you can leave more than 70% of the bandwagoning newbies behind.

The crypto world is always playing out fairy tales of "getting rich overnight," but there are even more tragic stories of "liquidation in a single night." My own approach is simple and straightforward: don’t panic in a bear market, and don’t follow the herd in a bull market. Always remember one thing—take profits when you can. It sounds easy to say, but truly doing it requires ironclad discipline.

Regarding how to hold positions, I’ve seen too many people rush in with the idea of "betting it all," only to end up with nothing. For us ordinary folks, spot trading is the most solid approach. Why? Because what you care about is the long-term value of blockchain technology, not short-term price fluctuations.

The logic for choosing coins isn’t complicated either. My method is: build a foundation with mainstream assets like BTC and ETH, then allocate a small portion of your portfolio to test new coins with real application prospects. Never bet your entire wealth on a newly listed "dark horse coin"—that’s no different from gambling, and the risk is terrifying.

Finally, I want to say that what the crypto world needs isn’t speed, but longevity. I’ve seen too many impatient people who end up getting badly burned by the market. As long as your mindset is correct and your strategy is clear, even if your starting point isn’t high, time will give you the answer.

Comments on Bankruptcy DouDou: 1. Earning 80 million in ten years is indeed impressive, but listening to this "self-discipline" theory for five years hasn't kept me from falling into traps. 2. I just want to ask, in these ten years, have you ever hit a contract trap? It feels a bit too perfect. 3. Having a solid spot position is indeed reliable, but why doesn't the big brother talk about how to survive the 2018 halving? 4. It's easy to say, but the real challenge is when the coin bought at $88 drops to $8 and you still don't waver—that's the real test. 5. It sounds convincing, but why does it feel exactly like the rhetoric of a certain big V from ten years ago? 6. Living long in the crypto world = making money? That logic is a bit forced; I've seen people who have survived ten years and are still solving their positions. 7. Taking profits and securing gains sounds good, but missing out is even more painful, brother. 8. The small portion of new coins you try out usually ends up being the majority; stop fooling newcomers. 9. Honestly, without experiencing a few margin calls, you can't really talk about mindset. 10. Is the 80 million figure on paper or realized? That's very important.

That's right, mindset really can determine everything. I'm just too greedy, always thinking about turning things around quickly, and only after being taught a few lessons by the market do I realize the importance of rules. --- To friends still chasing black horse coins, wake up. Look around and see how many people have gone back to square one overnight because they all-in on a certain project. --- The biggest fear is those who cut their losses in a bear market and chase highs in a bull market. I've seen too many of these. It's better to be honest and just earn interest with BTC and ETH. --- I find it hard to believe that the number is over 80 million, but the logic is correct. Spot trading is indeed a thousand times safer than futures, but it really tests human nature. --- Ten years to reach this scale? It shows that quick money schemes simply don't work. You still need to spend time. --- Discipline is easy to say but hard to do. I still get easily controlled by FOMO now, can't sit still when I see others making money. --- Choosing coins isn't anything new; just don't put all your eggs in one basket. The problem is most people still can't resist. --- It sounds like heartfelt advice, but in the crypto world, who can really do "take profits when it’s time"? Greed is something that can't be suppressed.

180,000 to 80 million, this guy's words are spot on, and the key really is self-discipline. Honestly, nine out of ten people fail because of their mindset. I've seen too many contracts blow up, only to turn around and gamble on dark horse coins, just like gamblers. Following the rules sounds simple, but actually doing it is deadly. Most people can't survive the first bear market. But on the other hand, there are plenty of stories of "ten-year veterans" in the crypto world. The key is whether you can truly hold on. This guy hit the point perfectly—living longer is more important than making quick money. Too many people are impatient and profit-driven, and in the end, they get brutally taught by the market.

Alright, I just want to ask—out of this 80 million, how much is real cash and how much is paper unrealized gains? Not to argue, just curious about how this number is calculated. The truth is, sticking to the rules is easier said than done, especially during a bull market. Watching others double their holdings in a day while you're still slowly accumulating can really crush your mentality. Spot trading is indeed stable, but I think the key is to choose the right coins. The idea of laying a foundation with BTC and ETH is fine, but I'm worried that some new coins are too shady, and you might accidentally become a leek. But I agree with this logic—people in the crypto world who seek quick profits are indeed the ones who die the fastest.

Exactly, that's the point. What I fear most are those who see one or two stories and then think about going all-in. As a result, after a few months, they've lost everything they should have lost. Spot trading is indeed stable, but honestly, very few people can truly hold on. Most people's mentality collapses during a certain correction. From 180,000 to 80 million, it's definitely not luck. How many sleepless nights did it take to develop that resilience?
