There is an investor in Hangzhou, 36 years old, who has been navigating the crypto market for ten years. Using seemingly clumsy methods, she turned an initial capital of 120,000 into over 5 million. She owns four properties—one for her own residence, one to honor her parents, and two with steady rental income. Over the decade, she has never fallen into insider traps nor relies on luck to survive. What has supported her to this day are a few seemingly simple yet highly effective trading principles.

Today, I’ll share these six rules, which are much more useful than blindly relying on technical indicators:

**1. Sharp rises, gentle declines** — This indicates that the main players are quietly accumulating. Large upward movements with limited correction suggest funds are being quietly positioned. Don’t be scared by short-term fluctuations; rhythm is the key to success.

**2. Rapid declines, weak rebounds** — Usually, this means the big players are quietly withdrawing. If a sudden crash cannot be recovered, it’s a clear sign that funds are fleeing. At this point, never try to bottom fish aggressively; you risk getting trapped.

**3. High volume at a top doesn’t necessarily mean a peak** — Large trading volume in the top area can sometimes be just a sprint phase. Conversely, shrinking volume is a more genuine sign that the trend is nearing its end.

**4. A single massive volume spike at the bottom doesn’t count; continuous volume increase is the real signal** — One-off huge volume is often a fake-out. Consistent increasing volume indicates that market consensus is gradually forming.

**5. The essence of crypto trading is manipulating sentiment; charts are just appearances** — No matter how sophisticated the technical indicators, they ultimately point to market emotions. Volume is the most authentic reflection of this sentiment.

**6. "Nothingness" is the highest realm** — Freedom from desire, fear, and attachment allows for a longer life in trading. Only those who can endure long periods of inactivity are worthy of the moment when a big market move arrives.

Ultimately, the strongest opponent in trading is always oneself. Good news or bad news, market manipulations—these are external factors; what truly changes your fate are your mindset, execution, and discipline.

Opportunities and risks in the crypto world are abundant, but only those who are steady, rational, and well-planned can go further. Remember: the one who laughs last is often not the one with the most accurate predictions, but the one who lasts the longest.

Ten million over ten years sounds great, but what I admire most is that she didn't step into any pits. The crypto world is full of traps; surviving is harder than making money. I truly understand the feeling of a sharp decline followed by a soft rebound. How many times have I almost been wiped out at the bottom? Honestly, there’s no secret, just mindset. Many people memorize technical indicators like pros, but in the end, they are still driven by emotions. Desireless, fearless, and non-possessive... sounds easy, but actually doing it is like a hell, brother. A shrinking volume is the real sign of a top. This view is a bit controversial. High-volume spikes scare people to death, yet the market continues to surge. She is indeed stable, but I am more greedy—that’s the only difference. Four properties are now break-even; the key is how to survive those ten years without getting chopped up by the market? That’s the hardest part. No hype, no blackening. To put it simply, these principles are just one sentence: live long. Living long means making money; making money is not about speed.

Growing to 5 million in ten years at this pace is indeed steady, but it makes me think of those days when I was eager to buy the dip... and I feel a bit scared.

Ten years from 120,000 to 5 million... It sounds easy, but how many can truly persist in the state of "nothing"?

Ten million in ten years, sounds like a lot, but when you think about it carefully, that's an average of about 50% annually over ten years. This pace isn't actually as explosive as it seems... but being able to survive steadily until now is indeed a skill.

Turning ten years into five million is truly impressive. But I think the hardest part is that "nothing," the empty position period can really drive people crazy.

The sister from Hangzhou is really ruthless, over 5 million in ten years, this is the real way to survive in the crypto world --- The trading volume is indeed the most deceptive, I’ve been fooled several times too --- Exactly, it’s self-discipline. Not many can endure the holding period without trading --- I deeply understand the pattern of rising fiercely and falling gently, I’ve never escaped it each time --- Desiring nothing and fearing nothing, it sounds simple but is truly exceptional to practice, who can do it --- I lost money on the pattern of暴量 at the bottom, but now looking back it’s much clearer --- Living long is the real winner, this phrase must be engraved in my mind --- The most heartbreaking part is the last sentence: being accurate in predictions is not as good as surviving until the end, truly --- I lack either mindset or execution, what should I do --- Trading crypto and human hearts, this summary is perfect

Uh, this set of theories sounds quite smooth, but how many people can truly achieve "no desire and no fear"? Most people are still driven by FOMO and greed.
