There is an older brother online who turned 3000U into 24,000U. It sounds exciting, but upon closer inspection, you can see the problem—this "conservative approach" seems stable but actually has a clear ceiling, especially as the capital scale increases.
This method is basically "waiting for the market, eating the middle," which sounds good in theory but in reality can only capture clear market trends, missing out on short-term fluctuations. It works okay during a bull market, allowing you to earn some steady profits, but it can't compare to those who precisely time the entries and exits with frequent adjustments—those traders can earn several times your returns. What if the market is volatile? Your funds just sit there, earning nothing. And if a bear market hits, your core holdings might get caught in a downturn, or you might not even get the chance to wait for a favorable trend.
Even more painful is that once your capital grows large, this method becomes useless. The original author only used 3000U, and a 3% position size is just 90 bucks, so losing it doesn't hurt much; but with 100,000U, 3% is 3,000 bucks, and the cost of trial and error skyrockets. There's also a more practical issue—when your funds are too large, increasing or decreasing positions will directly impact the coin's price, making it impossible to enter or exit without affecting the market, ultimately shrinking your profits by more than half.
The person who lost over 400,000U and quickly recovered using this method? Honestly, it's because their initial capital was too small, and the rebound looked large. Fans starting with 200 bucks could grow to 6,000 bucks, but if they continue to scale up at this pace, the difficulty will only increase. Once your funds reach a certain size, the growth curve begins to flatten.

The ceiling is really unsolvable. Small amounts are definitely useful, but once the volume increases, it's all pitfalls.

Wow, that's so heartbreaking. Doubling small funds is satisfying, but big funds are just a joke. Don't be fooled by the story of turning 3000U into 8 times more.

Honestly, playing with small funds using the strategy is fun, but once the scale increases, it gets exposed. This trick has been seen through long ago.

A 3% loss on the base position of 90 yuan is hardly noticeable, but switch to 3000 yuan and you're directly taking a hit. Who can handle that gap?
---
Waiting for the market to turn in a bear market? Isn't that just waiting to get trapped?
---
People who hit the precise timing have already made several times more. The conservatives are still holding in the middle, which is a bit awkward.

With such large funds, you can't really move. Adding a little causes a dump. Isn't that just being trapped by your own money?

Watching 200 to 6000 feels great, but continuing at this pace to scale up? The further you go, the harder it gets. This is a math problem, not a dream.

That's right, small-scale strategies and large-scale strategies are completely different in logic. This guy just didn't consider the effects of scale.
