For friends who are just entering the market, I’ll share only three pieces of advice. Each one is a lesson paid for in real money.



**First: This market is about cycles, not miracles**

The money you make essentially comes from emotional swings, not some “forever up” magic. $ETH can go up 30% in a week and give back 40% in three days. Sometimes, $BNB ’s price movements are completely illogical.

So, learn to survive first: don’t go all-in, don’t bet everything at once, always leave yourself an out. Enter with your funds in batches—never stake everything on a single judgment. If you can make it to the next cycle, you’ve already outperformed most people.

**Second: If you don’t understand a project, just pass**

What’s the most common pitfall for beginners? “Such-and-such coin can go up a hundred times”
ETH0.22%
BNB-0.12%

Seriously, staying alive is the top priority. There are so many people I know who went all-in and still haven't broken even—don't become one of them. "If you don't understand, just pass." That's absolutely right, it's saved me from paying a lot of "stupidity tax." The whole cycle thing is really just a game played by emotions—no amount of technical analysis can save you. If you can survive until the next cycle, you've already won. The bar might be low, but I like your realism. Sounds like you've taken quite a few hard falls yourself—the way you say it really hits home.

None of those who went all-in with full positions made it back; it sounds easy, but only when you actually do it do you understand what it means to have your mindset collapse.

statistically speaking, the "survive to the next cycle" part hits different when you remember UST... actually most people don't even make it past the first drawdown before panic selling everything lol
