Two years ago, I started my investment journey in Crypto Assets with a capital of 600U, which was just a small part of my year-end bonus. However, this seemingly insignificant investment became the key to my entry into the world of encryption.
My first trade was buying some BTC at 600U when Bitcoin was plummeting. That night, my investment shrank by half, which kept me awake all night. But I didn't give up easily; instead, I started to seriously study the market. I carefully analyzed every candlestick, paid attention to every piece of news, tracked changes in on-chain data, and organized all the information on the wall to better understand market trends.
A month later, Ethereum implemented the EIP-1559 upgrade, and I converted all of the remaining 500U into ETH. In the first week of the fee burning mechanism's implementation, the price of ETH rose from $2000 to $3000, and my account first rebounded to 900U. This experience made me realize that market information is not useless noise, but a signpost that guides the direction.
Last summer was a turning point in my investment career. I took a more systematic approach, dividing my funds into three parts: one part for regular investments in BTC, one part for swing trading in ETH, and another part as working capital. After BTC tested the support level of $30,000 multiple times, I started building my long position at $32,800 and eventually took profits at $46,000, earning $4,500.
Before the Ethereum merge, I boldly invested all my liquid funds into $2300 worth of ETH spot. After the successful merge, the price of ETH rose to $2700, and my account broke the $10,000 mark for the first time. I cashed out half of the profits and continued to invest the other half.
In March of this year, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank triggered the USDC de-pegging event, and I seized the opportunity to increase my position as ETH dropped to $1370. Two weeks later, when ETH rebounded to $2100, my assets grew to 30,000U. However, a high-leverage operation in April nearly caused me to lose everything, resulting in an overnight loss of 8,000U. This experience made me reevaluate my risk management strategy; I reduced my leverage and decided to trade only with spot.
Now, my Crypto Assets have grown to 50000U. I still maintain the habit of recording the reasons for transactions, emotional states, and profit and loss situations every week. BTC and ETH are no longer just cold codes to me, but companions that accompany me through bull and bear markets.
This experience made me deeply realize that the crypto market is always full of challenges and opportunities. However, as long as we can maintain discipline, overcome fear, and make good use of the power of compounding, it is possible to achieve success in this market. For those newcomers who are exploring the crypto world, my advice is: maintain a passion for learning, manage risks carefully, and adhere to the concept of long-term investment. Although the Crypto Assets market is highly volatile, it also contains enormous potential.

You have recorded too much detail, a slow bull is the best strategy.

Suckers can also be growth-oriented! Seeing that you spend all day playing people for suckers is a bit touching.

Multiple rounds of health checks only expose bad habits. Why isn't the stop loss point followed up on time?
