Holding 3,000 RMB (about 400 USD) and still want to find some opportunities in the crypto market? Don’t laugh, it’s actually possible.

Here’s how to get your small capital moving. Take out 100 USD to try futures trading, focusing on major coins with high trading volume. Pay attention to news and technical indicators—take profit when you should, cut losses when you must—no hesitation. The goal is simple: turn 100 USD into 200 USD, 200 into 400, then one more round to 800. If you’re lucky, after three rounds you could have 1,100 USD, more than tripling your initial capital.

But here’s the key point: stop after at most three rounds. With futures, winning nine times means nothing—one bad loss and you’re back to zero. Knowing when to walk away isn’t cowardice, it’s how you survive.

Doubling your money is just the beginning. Many people get cocky when their funds grow, only to lose it all. The truly steady ones actually slow down at this point—they start researching project fundamentals, checking if the team is reliable, and evaluating whether the sector has potential. Don’t just chase every rumor—that’s how you get rekt.

Once you’ve got 1,000 USD, don’t go all in on a single coin. Divide your funds among trending sectors like AI, GameFi, and Layer2. Protect your principal first if you want to make it to the bull market. Once you’ve picked your coins, hold on—don’t exhaust yourself by watching charts and chasing pumps and dumps, or you’ll end up losing money.

Avoid leverage if you can, and if you must use it, use small positions and set strict stop-losses. Remember, leverage is a tool, not a gambling device.

3,000 RMB isn’t your ceiling—it’s your starting line. In crypto, it’s not about how much capital you have, but whether your mindset is steady and your hands are strong enough to hold.
