The crypto world doesn't believe in tears; it only rewards those who cannot be broken.
Last week's market was like a roller coaster, wildly fluctuating. A reader reached out to me, voice hoarse: 'Brother Bin, three consecutive liquidations in a week, hundreds of thousands lost, my family is about to collapse, is there still a way out?'
I didn't provide chicken soup, only a plan. The funding isn't large, the pace must be fierce, but it has to be controllable. Three days later, the market delivered, and he reclaimed some of the lost ground.
It's nothing miraculous; it's just about eating the right portion at the right time, in the right way.
01 Admitting failure is the beginning of rebirth.
At the moment of liquidation, the instinctive reaction is 'immediately recover losses.' I've seen too many people, unwilling to accept their losses, rush to increase their positions, ending up losing all remaining funds.
This revenge-style trading is suicidal behavior. The market never cares about taking a few more lives.
The real first step is to force yourself to step away from the screen. Turn off the trading software, take a deep breath, even go out for a few hours. Let your emotions cool down to see the situation clearly. My habit is to rest for at least 24 hours after a significant loss—no looking, no touching, no action.
Admitting failure is not shameful; what's shameful is falling into the same pit three times. Your net worth and self-worth are two different things; losses do not define who you are.
02 Review three consecutive losses, find the fatal flaws
Consecutive liquidations are not coincidental; they are the result of a series of accumulated mistakes. During reviews, I require myself to honestly answer several questions:
Is your leverage too high, thinking you can turn the tables in one go? Did you not set a stop-loss, constantly fantasizing that the market will come back? Did you bet everything, forgetting the basics of position management?
The market in 2025 is dominated by quantitative and institutional players, leaving very little room for retail investors to survive on high leverage. I've seen too many beginners blindly using 20x, 50x leverage, getting wiped out with just one fluctuation.
Leverage is not a tool; it's an amplifier—it amplifies your abilities as well as your flaws. After a liquidation, I resolutely reduce leverage to below 5x, even only using spot trading.
03 New rhythm: Don't eat the whole fish, just eat the fish's body
The crypto space has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks is people who can survive until the opportunities arise.
My current strategy is very simple: go with the market trend, don’t guess tops and bottoms, don’t hold positions, don’t be stubborn. Take what the market gives; otherwise, it will take more from you.
In practice, I adopt the 'half-position dynamic balancing method'—always keeping the value of Bitcoin and stablecoins each at half. Sell part of your Bitcoin for stablecoins when the market rises, and use stablecoins to buy Bitcoin when it falls. This method mechanically achieves high sell-low buy, eliminating emotional interference.
In a volatile market, I will use crypto-based contracts for 'defensive counterattack' operations to accumulate positive fee rate returns. But the position will never exceed 10% of total capital; this is a hard rule.
04 Survive to wait for the next wave
The market in 2026 is undergoing fundamental changes. With Wall Street institutions entering in large numbers, Bitcoin may bid farewell to the past volatile patterns and enter a long-term wide fluctuation phase similar to gold.
This means that solely relying on historical investment logic like the halving cycle needs to be re-evaluated.
For us retail investors, we must abandon the fantasy of overnight wealth and prioritize risk management. I am now more focused on technologies that can truly change the world, like the integration of payment chains with AI agents and the application of blockchain in real-world payments.
Making money is not about chasing green bars, but being in the market before it starts. Preserving capital and waiting for certain opportunities is wiser than blindly charging ahead.
05 My practical insights
Position management is crucial: the risk exposure of a single trade should not exceed 2% of total capital. With a $1000 principal, the maximum loss limit should be controlled within $20.
Stop-loss is a protective charm: trading without stop-loss is like driving without a seatbelt. It might be fine a hundred times, but one accident can be fatal.
Pay attention to the flow of smart money: look less at social media hype, and more at on-chain data. The movements of whales and changes in exchange reserves are more reliable than any influencer.
Earning interest on holdings is the bottom line: even if you don't trade, you should still make your assets work. Use exchange wealth management or mainstream DeFi protocols to achieve 'at least outpacing inflation.'
Maintain a learning state: the market is changing, and strategies must change too. Pay attention to macro indicators, regulatory policies, and technological developments; these are the keys that determine long-term trends.
This is how the crypto space works; when losing money, no one listens to your explanations, and when making money, everyone says you just got lucky. Don’t care about what others think; only those who survive have the right to turn things around.
This market owes no one new highs and doesn't care about your persistence. The only rule is to survive.
Remember that reader who faced three consecutive losses? He later told me that the biggest takeaway was not how much he recovered, but that he finally understood: controlling the pace is more important than seizing opportunities.
