#数字资产生态回暖 In mid-July, a friend from Heilongjiang called me with a voice message in the middle of the night. When I answered the call, the first thing I heard was crying.

He poured out his woes. These past few years in the crypto world have been like being trapped in a nightmare: the 300 BTC he bought for 800 yuan each had long gone, then the LUNA liquidation wiped out his savings completely. He sold his house, his wife left him, and now he only has 140,000 USDT left in his account. His tone was mixed with despair: "Brother, I really have nothing left, just looking for a chance to turn things around."

My advice to him was straightforward: People on the ground shouldn't think about reaching the sky first. The more anxious you are to flip the market, the deeper you fall. Better to start over, play mainstream coins, and take it step by step—don't chase the rising prices or get itchy hands. Only after experiencing poverty can one understand the power of patience.

He took it to heart. Over three months, that 140,000 USDT grew to 320,000. He said slow gains are slow, but at least he can sleep peacefully now.

In October, the market changed. I judged that the time was right: "Practiced enough, now it's time to truly make a move."

He went all-in on COAI, MYX, and AIA. His account jumped from 320,000 USDT to 3.1 million dollars. He was stunned: "I never thought I’d see so many zeros."

But I could see that the scar from LUNA was still there in his heart.

I asked him: "Are you brave enough to touch LUNA again now?"

His answer was: "I hate it and fear it at the same time."

"Then take what it gives you—recover your principal and profit."

He executed the plan. Bought in at around 0.08, sold at 0.16, earning 198,000 dollars. Then shorted again at 0.16, stopped loss at 0.106, and ate another 243,000 dollars. After that, he built a long position at 0.106, and sold everything at 0.17, making another 260,000 dollars.

After three rounds, he was silent for a long time and finally sent one message: **"This time, I feel truly at peace."**

His account balance stopped at 3.86 million dollars.

Later, he got married, and every month he sent money to his ex-wife and kids. He couldn't recover what he lost before, but at least he could stand tall and face life.

The crypto market isn't a fairytale; it will crush you and see if you have the ability to pick yourself up. If you’re in a pit right now, I want to tell you what his first right step was:

Don’t always think about turning things around in one shot—learn to stay calm first.

The road is long, the wind is strong, only those who can hold on have a chance to make it to the end.
