I Have a Friend in Crypto

Series Stories Five years ago, my friend Xiao Bai did something that made his parents lose their minds—he took the 80,000 yuan he had saved over two years for a down payment on a wedding apartment and spent it all on BTC. Back then, Bitcoin was as hot as a pig on the wind’s edge, and he thought he had seized his chance to “turn his life around.” Sure enough, fate played a joke on him not long after! In just one year, his account skyrocketed from 80,000 to 2.3 million! Just as he was celebrating his dream come true, the crypto market entered a brutal bear phase, and his account balance almost hit rock bottom, dropping from 2.3 million to 220,000. That’s when he realized that those “wind’s edges” might actually be traps—and falling hurts. A lot. From getting rich overnight to losing it all, over the years, through countless liquidations, he finally figured out 4 “survival rules” that every ordinary person should know. Otherwise, you might end up crying: 1️⃣ Don’t touch projects you don’t understand. You can’t make money outside your knowledge. He didn’t fully understand how the metaverse works but still invested in a bunch of scam projects—and lost 220,000! 2️⃣ Diversify your investments and keep enough emergency funds. When the market is chaotic, having backup funds keeps you calm. 3️⃣ Don’t even think about leverage. One liquidation and you’re back to square one overnight! 4️⃣ Trust less in rumors, rely more on data. Learn to analyze for yourself, and you’ll avoid getting caught in a disaster. Nowadays, he no longer dreams of getting rich overnight—he’s just aiming for a steady annual return of 20%. In the crypto world, survival is the real king!
