You're absolutely right — risk management is key. But here’s something a bit controversial:
Using stop-losses blindly often guarantees losses, especially in the crypto market.

Let’s be real — we’re here to make profits, not just survive. And Bitcoin is notorious for chopping sideways for weeks or months, aka the “death-by-a-thousand-cuts” phase. In such environments, tight stop-losses often lead to repeated losses that drain your account faster than you expect.

That’s why I believe the best protection is not always a stop-loss, but smart position sizing and money management.

Here’s what I do:

I only long BTC, never short it.

My first entry is always without leverage, because Bitcoin can dip 70–80% — and I want to stay in the game.

Once the trade goes in profit, I scale in using a pyramid:
Every additional position is backed by a breakeven stop-loss from the previous profitable one.
That way, the higher BTC goes, the higher my leverage, but my risk is zero.

This method lets me ride trends safely — while protecting capital like a pro.

People have been questioning the intergrity of politicians to keep their campaign promises after they win, now Trump, has an opportunity to proof that he is a politician that keeps to his words. Although I don't think that there is an official pronouncement from the trump, team about the release of Ross Ulbricht, but we're hopeful that it will happen. Next stop for many bitcoiners is about Gary Gender, but from what I understand his tenure is almost rounding up, so one way or another he'll be moving on soon. Our main concern as bitcoiners is for favorable regulations towards Bitcoin during Trump's administration. America, is like the big brother when it comes to global matters and their government being pro Bitcoin will go a long way for it globally.
