Steady as a deep stream, restless hearts are often the easiest to stumble.
In the crypto world, you often hear this kind of voice: "I have too little principal, I can't turn things around at all." I want to say, this idea itself is wrong.
If the crypto market only looks at who has more money, then the most profitable should be those rich guys who go all-in with millions at a time. But what is the reality? A large number of ordinary people starting with just a few thousand yuan actually live longer and earn more steadily. Why?
Last week, a college student came to me, holding 1000U, asking if there was a chance to turn things around. I didn't answer directly, but asked him: Do you know? Your small principal is actually an advantage. A week later, he came back with good news—the account grew to 3000U. Not getting rich overnight, but steady growth.
**Why Small Funds Are More Likely to Survive**
Large funds are easily caught by the market with just a move, while small funds can turn quickly and have lower trial-and-error costs. Flexibility is something that hundreds of thousands of yuan can't really play with.
The method I taught that student is very simple: divide 1000U into four parts, only move 250U each time. He was initially a bit resistant—thinking that making money this way is too slow. I explained to him clearly: only those who live in the market deserve to make money.
Small fund players tend to be more cautious, watching every penny closely, and are less likely to go all-in and push hard right away like those big players. I've seen too many examples—some big players today make ten thousand, tomorrow lose twenty thousand, and finally leave the market in disappointment. In contrast, those starting with a few hundred or a few thousand, as long as they keep a steady rhythm, after three months, they are the clearest-minded and go the furthest.
**The core of making funds snowball**
The answer is "gradual position building and continuous compounding." Start with small positions, and after each profit, use part of the gains to expand the next round of operations—this approach makes risk controllable, reduces psychological pressure, and makes it easier to stick to the plan.

Damn, tripling 1000u in three weeks, is this guy serious? I feel like it's that kind of survivor bias again...

Damn, isn't this the same mistake I made before... I went all-in with full position, made fifty thousand in one day, and was cut in half the next day. I'm still regretting it.

It's the same old story of building positions in batches. It sounds good, but who can't execute it? The key is to control that mindset. Only those who can hold onto a thousand dollars for three months without moving are the real experts.

Buddy is right, small funds are actually a protective charm, only full positions by big players are courting death.
When I was trading small U, I was more stable than anyone else. Now I see that those who move hundreds of thousands are the ones who end up losing everything.

Indeed, I agree that small amounts can be an advantage; I've seen too many big players go all-in and end up losing everything.

A thousand yuan turns into three thousand, I like this rhythm... Stable happiness, unlike those Mancang brothers who have a collapse of mentality every day

Honestly, small amounts of money are actually good luck charms… I'm already tired of seeing big players go all-in.
Living is more important than making money, everyone. This may be a cliché, but it's the truth.
Three times in three weeks with a thousand USD? Isn't that exactly what conservative players should do? Why didn't I think of that?
