Brothers with small accounts, don’t rush to go all-in. Let me share some heartfelt advice—
The crypto world is like a casino, but it’s not all about luck. The less capital you have, the more you need to understand the rules thoroughly!
I’ve seen an example: a beginner entered with 800U, and in five months, it grew to 19,000, now close to 30,000. Zero liquidation along the way. Do you think he was super lucky? Think again. It’s actually based on three "survival + profit" principles I’ve been using, the core logic behind going from 5,000U to now without constantly staring at K-line charts:
**First Tip: Diversify, Spreading Out Keeps You Alive**
Three rules—300U for day trading, focusing on small fluctuations in BTC and ETH, making 3-5% profit and then exiting. Being greedy for one more percent is risking death; another 300U for swing trading, waiting for major events (like Federal Reserve policy shifts, ETF approvals), taking 3-5 days to exit, prioritizing stability; the remaining 400U as a reserve, never touching it regardless of rises or falls, this is your last confidence to turn things around.
Why put all your money on small swings? If it rises, you get cocky; if it drops, your heart breaks. And that’s why you often die quickly. Surviving is always more important than anything else; keeping bullets in the chamber allows you to wait for the next opportunity.
**Second Tip: Focus on Big Wins, Ignore Small Change**
Most of the time, crypto is a torment. Daily trading? That’s just working for the exchange, paying high fees.
If there’s no trend, just sleep or watch shows—way better than reckless trading. When a real trend appears (like BTC stabilizing at a support level, ETH hitting new highs), then enter. When gains reach 15% of your principal, take half profits—cash in your pocket is real; numbers in your account are illusions.
Smart traders know this routine: "Pretend to be dead for three months, then bite into the trend when it comes, and withdraw immediately."
**Third Tip: Stick to the Rules, Don’t Let Emotions Take Over**
Set a stop-loss at 1.5%. When it hits, cut losses—don’t think about hoping for a rebound. Take profit at over 3%, then halve your position; let the rest run. Never add to a losing position—adding makes it worse, and panic sets in; eventually, the account is gone.
You don’t need to be right every time, but you must execute perfectly every time. The truth about making money is: let the rules control your trading, don’t let your emotions ruin your account.
**Honestly**
Having less capital isn’t the real problem; what’s truly scary is the mindset of “doubling back to break even in one shot.” Turning 800U into 30,000 isn’t about luck—it's about avoiding greed, impatience, and sticking to discipline.
During Fed policy swings, opportunities increase, but even with many chances, you need a system. Regularly deploying capital in phases, controlling risks, and holding long-term—that’s the real way to survive bull and bear markets.

Is it true that 800U has skyrocketed to 30,000? I feel like this story is a bit suspicious.

That's right. The biggest danger with small amounts is the gambler's mentality, which often leads to account explosion.

In reality, a 1.5% stop loss feels completely different when you've experienced a 40% GPU computing power crash... During my mining days, we didn't have this luxury and could only watch our return on investment drop to zero, which cracked me up.

ngl the 1.5% stop loss hits different when you've actually lived through a 40% GPU hashrate crash... back in my mining days we didn't have this luxury, just watched our ROI calculations go to zero lmao

Oh, this set of theories sounds comfortable, but when it comes to actual operation, who isn't the one constantly holding full positions to buy the dip... I'm just puzzled, why do they always talk about diversifying risk, but as soon as they see a decline, they can't help but hold back?
