#数字货币市场洞察 In the winter of 2022, I met Old Zhao.

$BTC During the days when it dropped from 69000 to 15000, the market was filled with wails. Old Zhao had it even worse than most—his account went from 2.1 million straight down to 1500U, liquidated so hard he began to question his life.

He was sitting across from me at the time, completely defeated. He had barely slept for two months; every time his phone notification sounded, his heart raced. He kept deleting and reinstalling apps, over and over. His family said he’d gone crazy, friends advised him to quit, and his girlfriend almost broke up with him.

"Am I really not cut out for this?" he asked me hoarsely.

I remember the look in his eyes very clearly—redder than any candlestick chart.

But I could tell—he hadn’t truly given up yet, he’d just been ground into the dirt too hard.

I only said one thing to him at the time: "Losing everything isn’t scary; what’s scary is surrendering before the game is over."

After that, we didn’t rush to talk about buying the dip or averaging down. That’s just nonsense—if your emotions aren’t in check, anything you do is just giving your money away.

What we did was simple—we broke down and reorganized the chaos in his mind, piece by piece.

**First thing: Accept reality.**

2.1 million gone is gone, denying it won’t change your account balance. But as long as you’re still here, the game isn’t over.

**Second thing: Bring your position back to a human level.**

1500U isn’t the end; it’s a reset button. Can’t handle the volatility? Then start with a position size that lets you sleep at night. Stop trading out of fear.

**Third thing: Don’t gamble, trade.**

Don’t try to pick tops or bottoms, don’t fantasize about one big candle saving you. Only focus on what you can control: plan your entries, plan your exits, review your trades afterward.

At the end of the day, it’s just one question: do you plan to be fuel for the fire your whole life, or do you want to be among the last ones standing?
