In 2020, I heavily invested $0.028 in ADA, and within three months it skyrocketed to $1.26, multiplying my paper wealth by six zeros.

Stubbornly holding without selling, it plummeted back to $0.18, and 80% of the profit vanished instantly.

A bloody lesson: Knowing when to buy is the apprentice, knowing when to sell is the master, and knowing when to stop is the winner.

After three days of closed-door review, I summarized three ironclad rules:

1. Ladder Take Profit: Sell in stages at different prices, lock in principal and profits, and avoid greed for the last bit.
​
2. Hard Stop Loss for Survival: A 4.8% bottom line, never fight the market, leave room for adjustments.
​
3. Anti-Human Psychology: Only take the fish meat, cashing in profits is the real win.

This year, a steady return of 36.8%.

In the crypto world, those who survive are the ones who understand restraint best.
