To be honest, I never thought I could make it to where I am today!

Back in 2018, that period, Little Dot’s life was pretty miserable.

One night, after a few drinks, a childhood friend chatted with me about Bitcoin. At the time, I treated it like a joke. But when I went back home, I couldn’t sleep—I kept tossing and turning. At 3 a.m., I got up and started researching.

While researching, I ended up putting the last 80,000 yuan into it. I didn’t tell anyone. I quietly entered the market. In the first few months, it went up, the numbers looked good on paper. I didn’t get carried away either—I kept going to work and did what I was supposed to do. $SOL

The real trouble came later, when a friend told me there was an “internal project” and pulled me into a group. I got blinded. I followed them and put most of my profits into it.

So what happened? The project team basically disappeared. The group got dissolved. The money was gone.

That was the first time I got cut—clean and total. Sitting on the floor of my rental, all I could think was: Why?

But why is why, and money is money—if it’s gone, it’s gone.

After that, I truly took it seriously. I went back and reviewed every pit I’d stepped into, and I made a few hard rules:

First, protect the principal. Every time I buy a coin, once it rises, I first pull the principal back out, then use the profits to keep compounding. If I lose, I accept it—I don’t fight to the death. $TUT

Second, don’t touch what you don’t understand. No “100x coins,” no internal info, no hype-driven projects—I don’t look at any of that. I already paid for an “internal project” once, and I learned my lesson the hard way.

Third, think through how to allocate money. Put 50% into mainstream holdings, 30% into promising targets, gamble 10% on high-risk bets, and keep 10% as cash at the bottom as a buffer. During the 2022 bear market, the maximum drawdown was controlled to around 15%, and I didn’t get wrecked.

To be honest, I never thought I could reach today. It’s not talent. It’s just that I lost too much, and it hurt enough, so I had to remember.

If you’re still losing and still lost in confusion, Little Dot is waiting for you to rejoin the team. #以色列空袭黎巴嫩击毙真主党指挥官
