5 days, from 31,000 USDT to 1,130,000 USDT——When I finally closed the last position, my hands were really trembling. But what truly calmed me down was the moment I transferred most of the profits into a stablecoin protocol.

These five days truly felt like a dream. In this round of RIVER's market, both longs and shorts profited, from 11.73 up to 21.66, then shorted back down to 17.44, with the account figures flashing wildly.

But when you actually earn close to a hundredfold return, what flashes through your mind? Keep pushing for the next? Or how to safeguard what you've gained?

I chose the latter.

Because money earned by luck can easily be lost again due to greed. So when the account hit 113 million USDT, I made a decision—transfer more than 70% of the profits in batches into a liquidity staking protocol.

If you've also experienced huge floating profits during crazy market moves, you must understand that feeling. The confusion after a surge: unwilling to withdraw everything, but afraid of losing it all if reinvested.

But there's a third way: systematically converting profits into assets that generate continuous income.

The protocols I chose are simple— you can stake mainstream assets like ETH, BNB, etc., to earn staking rewards, and also mint USD-pegged stablecoins to further participate in ecosystem liquidity mining. Governance tokens provide additional incentives.

Rather than letting profits sit in your account and be tempted by the market, it's better to let them work, generating sustainable, predictable income. This is the mindset shift from trader to asset manager.
