A question I’ve been asked countless times: Is there still a chance for small funds to turn around in the crypto world? My answer has always been the same—yes, but only if you can endure it.

Today I want to share a path that seems very simple but is actually the one most people survive on. Every step along this path involves a constant struggle with your own greed.

**Stage One: Early Bull Market, Focus Only on Bitcoin**

In the first half of a bull market, capital inevitably flows back into major coins like Bitcoin. During this time, Bitcoin’s influence becomes very strong, while most small altcoins are in a state of being drained.

The hardest move is coming—hold onto your Bitcoin, don’t move anything.

Watching others’ altcoins double or triple in a day while your account remains calm can be uncomfortable. But the essence of a bull market isn’t about frequent trading to make quick money; it’s about capturing the big profits during those key waves.

Suppose you have 3000 yuan in capital, all converted into Bitcoin. Your only task at this stage is to stay alive and hold your position. Everything else is just illusion.

**Stage Two: After Bitcoin Breaks Support, Rebalancing Is the True Test**

When Bitcoin breaks through its previous high, the market’s enthusiasm will truly ignite. At this point, a large amount of capital will rush into various altcoins.

This is the right time to shift your assets from Bitcoin to other investments.

But rebalancing requires a sense of rhythm. First, take out some profits to buy Ethereum—its fundamentals are more solid, and the risk is relatively controllable. Then, like planting seeds, use small positions to test the tracks you truly understand: AI concept coins, Layer2 solutions, Web3 applications, emerging public chains, and MEME assets.

Don’t try to cover all the hot spots at once. What you need is to focus your firepower on two or three directions you understand best.

At this stage, it’s not about how much information you have, but about your self-awareness and execution ability.

BTC-0.38%

ETH-0.49%

MEME-3.53%

Wow, you're so right. You just have to hold back from acting. During the early stage of the bull market, I was envious of others doubling their positions, but as a result, I kept trading frequently and got cut to death.

That's very true. Most people can't endure that phase, and when they see others' coins skyrocketing, they get itchy. The real test is whether you can hold on with grit. I think the most important thing is to honestly assess your own strength and not always think about betting everything on the entire track.

That's right, self-control is the greatest superpower, but very few people can truly achieve it.

To be honest, I was supportive of the first half, but then it started to talk nonsense. The rhythm of repositioning? Bro, it depends on the market; there aren't that many tricks. I just want to ask, can that 3000 bucks really last until the breakdown day? Most people have probably been shaken out long ago. It may look stupid, but it's really just stupidity. Patience is easy to talk about, but try to hold on when your account drops 40%. Focusing all your firepower sounds intense, but you first need to know which track you see through—it's still relying on luck. Hey, it's well written, but the flaw is the lack of real-world blood and tears lessons; it's too idealistic. It makes sense, but execution and self-awareness are both the hardest parts, yet the article acts like they don't exist. If I had known these earlier, I wouldn't have to cut losses later, but the problem is, no one can really do that.

Sounds nice, but in reality, it's just enduring until you bleed from exhaustion. Everyone I know who made it through was forced to hold on.

To be honest, I've heard this logic more than ten times, but very few people actually implement it. The key is still that "patience" character.

Wait a minute, there's a problem with this logic... When large amounts of funds flow into altcoins' nodes, I need to look at on-chain data to speak. What if it's the whales accumulating?
