In the crypto world, everyone dreams of multiplying their investments tenfold or even hundredfold within three years.

But in reality? Most people can't withstand a full market cycle. When greedy, they chase highs; when scared, they cut losses. In the end, they get swept up by the market's ups and downs, and their accounts remain the same.

So, what does it really take to achieve "a steady 10x in three years"?

First, a systematic understanding — not trading based on feelings, but understanding the market cycle patterns and knowing what to do at each stage. Second, scientific position management — controlling the risk exposure of each trade to avoid being liquidated due to a single mistake. Lastly, reverence for the cycle — understanding that the market has its own rhythm; you can't rush it or catch up.

By mastering these three points, a tenfold increase in three years is no longer a dream but a achievable goal.

That's right, it's a matter of mindset and discipline. Most people get caught in the cycle of chasing highs and cutting losses. This theory sounds solid, but how many can actually endure a full cycle? Position management is truly a matter of life and death; otherwise, a single black swan event could wipe you out completely.

Well said, but the question is how many people can really endure it It's easy to say, but many start cutting losses when the market drops 30% in a month Systematic understanding sounds simple, but how many times do you have to experience losses to truly grasp it Ten times in three years? Don't think that far ahead, let's survive the next bear market first I've heard this theory a hundred times, but in the end, many are still driven by emotions Position management sounds easy to talk about, but who can resist the thrill of going all-in on Ape? Those who can truly make money never go around preaching their methodology

That's right, but how many can really stick to it? I'm almost tortured to death by my own greed. It would be great if I could truly avoid chasing highs and cutting losses. It sounds easy, but actually doing it is really tough. Systematic cognition sounds impressive, but it's actually just about not messing around and patiently waiting for the cycle. I've suffered losses in position management; one mistake can wipe out all your efforts. Instead of aiming for ten times, it's better to focus on surviving. Living to see the next cycle is the real winner.

It sounds good, but the key is that most people simply can't do it at all. How many can truly endure the cycle? I think most just run after losing everything. I've heard too many say "I have a plan," but they panic at the first limit-down.

It sounds good, but how many can really survive a full cycle? It sounds right, but it's just too difficult. I've really repeatedly fallen into pitfalls when it comes to position management. Ten times in three years, I think it still depends on the choice of coins. The fundamental reason for not being able to withstand a cycle is attitude, nothing else.

ngl, the whole "position management" thing hits different when you're hemorrhaging 50 gwei on a failed tx... like yeah, discipline matters, but so does not panic-selling during network congestion lmao

That's right. These three points are well known; how many people can truly implement them? I've played enough with the strategy of chasing highs and cutting losses. Now, I just hold stubbornly without selling. I need to improve my systematic understanding; I feel like I'm still trading randomly based on intuition. Position management is the most critical. One margin call and you're back to square one. This lesson is deeply ingrained. Honestly, the cycle is just a form of mysticism. Who can really grasp it? A tenfold increase in three years is indeed tempting, but I'm afraid it's just a beautiful illusion after all.

That's quite right, but I think most people give up at the first step. Systematic understanding sounds easy, but very few can truly stick with it. I'm the kind of person who only understands after being harvested. Now I'm more stable, but my account has already been severely damaged. The key is to endure; most people can't hold on until the day of harvest.

It sounds good, but how many can really stick with it? --- I'm tired of hearing it, just want to know who actually made money --- I really didn't manage my positions well, and I got cut again --- Systematic understanding? I just go by feel, and now I'm losing everything --- Ten times in three years sounds easy, but the hardest part is the mindset --- The key is to endure the bear market; most people fall behind here --- Every time they swear they won't chase highs, but when the market rises again, they can't control themselves --- If your understanding is in place, you can indeed avoid liquidation, that's true --- Everyone's right, but execution is a completely different matter --- I really can't figure out the market rhythm, when to enter and when to exit

That's right, but I think 99% of people simply can't do these three things, including myself haha. Only the tough ones can endure a full cycle.
