There are new stories in the crypto world every year, but the number of people actually making money hasn't changed much. Why? Because most people lack not opportunities, but reliable methods.
I often hear people say: "My principal is too small, I have no hope of turning things around." Honestly, my experience is completely different. Having less money is actually the most formidable teacher.
Why do I say that? When your account only has a few hundred U, every operation must be carefully calculated. You are forced to learn to cut losses, wait patiently, and exercise restraint—things that beginners with 10,000 U often can't learn. Conversely, those who start by investing heavily? Most get washed out in the first market cycle.
Suppose you only have 100 U and want to reach 1,000 U. Would you think, "I need to find a tenfold coin and go all in"? Sounds exciting, but the reality is harsh—this kind of gambler's mindset guarantees losing money sooner or later. Those who have been in crypto long enough understand: it's not about how much you make in one trade, but how long you can hold.
The most used method I employ is called "rolling positions." It sounds sophisticated but is actually very simple—gradually taking profits and expanding your position step by step. This requires patience and self-discipline, but once done correctly, the results are surprisingly good.
Last year, I guided a few beginners whose initial capital was around 200-300 U. At first, they didn't dare to place orders and knew nothing about risk control, naturally losing more and more. Later, I arranged a simplified rolling plan for them:
First, set a clear goal: don't think about becoming rich overnight. Just aim to go from 100 U to 300 U.
Second, break it into manageable segments: take profit and close each round after earning 30-50 U, don't be greedy.
Third, lock in a part of the profit each time, and continue cycling the rest.
Does this sound like ants moving? Exactly. This approach won't make you rich overnight, but it can steadily compound growth and reduce psychological pressure. Growing your account by 30% each month may seem less exciting than 300%, but if you stick with it long enough, the final numbers will surprise you.

It's really true, small capital can actually be an advantage. The risk control learned out of necessity is more valuable than anything else. Those who go all-in with tenfold coins right from the start are basically on my liquidation list.

Closing positions has some merit, but I see most people still can't stick with it. Initially, closing at 30-50U sounds easy, but when the market takes off, greed kicks in, and that's the hardest part.

There's nothing wrong with that; the key is still the mindset. I went all-in and got beaten badly early on. Now I just accept this as the hard truth—stability is indeed much stronger than a gambler's mentality.

The method of rolling positions is indeed reliable, but it tests human nature too much. Most people can't endure until the power of compound interest becomes evident.

That's right, small capital actually forces you to avoid risks. Some people invest tens of thousands and lose everything directly; it's their own fault.
