The biggest fear in the crypto world is not market crashes or contract liquidations, but rather turning the money earned from the market into fiat currency and then being stuck by the bank card, unable to withdraw.

A few days ago, late at night, a fan contacted me, voice trembling—50,000 USDT was exchanged for fiat via OTC and deposited into a card, but the account was directly frozen, and all non-counter transactions were halted. He hadn’t touched any gray areas, just normal trading, but got caught up in a scammer’s chain of funds and ended up being collateral damage.
Now scammers target ordinary people as “pawns” for their funds. When police investigate, they first freeze the intermediary accounts. The money isn’t lost, but it feels like hanging in mid-air. Only those in the crypto circle can understand that suffocating feeling.
Actually, most of these situations can be resolved. Cooperate actively with the police, prepare transaction records, chat screenshots, and transfer receipts. Once verified as innocent, the freeze will be lifted, but the process is tedious and draining.
I’ve always said, making money in the crypto world is a skill; being able to safely withdraw your funds is the real skill.
I’ve specially prepared an OTC-exclusive bank card, dedicated for this purpose only. It’s not linked to daily payments or used for transfers with friends and family; I only work with long-term, reputable partners, avoid arbitrage with strangers; large withdrawals are split into smaller amounts, and after arriving, I leave the funds untouched for two days before moving them.
Remember, making money is only the first half; securely withdrawing and cashing out is the real win. In the crypto world, it’s not just about skills but also mindset and maturity. Being able to protect your profits and hold onto your money is what makes a true veteran in the crypto space.
