Is there really no opportunity for small funds in the crypto world? I’m not joking; let me share a real story from someone around me.



Three months ago, I met a friend whose account had only 1,500 yuan left, and he was almost on the verge of collapse. I didn’t give him any market predictions, just taught him a set of principles—embed discipline into every trade. What was the result? His account grew to 15,000. Not overnight riches, but stopping pointless losses.

The core logic he shared with me boils down to three points:

**Point 1: Don’t always think about doubling quickly; first ensure you stay in the game**

Use your money in three parts. One part for short-term trades—buy and sell quickly; another part waiting for genuine trend signals—don’t move until the signal appears; the last part is for insurance—never touch it no matter how crazy the market gets. This isn’t cowardice; it’s protecting your account.

**Point 2: Never go all-in**

Going all-in is betting everything on one shot. If luck is on your side, you double your money, and then you start to inflate your ego; if luck is bad, you’re out immediately. The harshest thing in crypto isn’t losing money, but losing the qualification to continue participating.

**Point 3: Only trade trends you truly understand**

Sideways movement, volatility, all the news noise—treat them as air. Wait until the trend is clear and volume supports it before acting. Holding no position isn’t waiting; it’s a high-level proactive move.

He also sticks to two of his own rules, which are especially worth remembering:
Cut losses at 4% immediately—no excuses
Take profit at 8% and move the stop-loss to the original capital to protect the principal

Over time, you’ll see that the ones who survive the longest in this market are never the most aggressive. They don’t chase hot topics or trade frequently. When it’s time to endure, they stay silent; when it’s time to act, they do so decisively.

Bitcoin’s ups and downs, all kinds of strategies flying around—these are not decisive factors. The real test in crypto is simple: who lasts longer, who makes fewer mistakes. That’s it.

Stay disciplined, and time will give you the answer.

That's right, the key is to survive longer. I've seen too many accounts go straight to zero; full position trading is truly a suicidal approach. This guy's 4% stop loss and 8% take profit are indeed aggressive, but execution is the hard part—many people simply can't do it.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Turning a small amount of funds into ten times is not difficult; what's difficult is not losing all ten times back.

Well said, but many people die because of all-in positions and greed, and they never live to see the day of compound interest.

To be honest, this discipline system really hits the key points, but most people simply can't do it. Going from 1,500 to 15,000 sounds like a lot, but the key is the word "perseverance." How many people say they'll stop loss at 4% but then hold on when it drops?

That's right, discipline is really worth much more than predictions. I've also seen too many people completely eliminated just because they went all-in with their entire position.

Exactly right, the core is about living long enough to see it. I also know people who turned 10,000 into 500,000, but ended up wiping out their entire position in one shot and are still licking their wounds... The key is really not about making money fast, but about staying alive steadily.
