I met a friend who used to deliver takeout. In 2024, seeing people around him making quick money with high leverage, he got tempted. He took out 50,000 yuan of savings and used 100x leverage, but he was liquidated in a day and ended up owing 20,000 yuan in debt. That period was pretty tough—delivering food 16 hours a day, exhausted every day. But he didn’t give up; instead, he started reflecting on his trading approach.

Later, he saw a share from an investor, whose core advice was: low leverage combined with position diversification is the way ordinary people can stay steady. This resonated with him, and he decided to change his strategy.

He saved up another 30,000 yuan and re-entered the market, this time only using 2x leverage. He divided his positions into four parts: two for Bitcoin and Ethereum each, one for platform tokens, and one flexible for adjustments. He set a strict stop-loss at 10%, refusing to be greedy.

This strategy proved surprisingly stable. Although the market experienced fragmented fluctuations later, Bitcoin and Ethereum didn’t plunge significantly. He slowly accumulated profits with 2x leverage. Especially when a platform token surged fivefold due to an ecosystem upgrade, one of his positions instantly turned into 150,000 yuan.

The key is, he never chases short-term hot spots. When others see a coin triple in a day, he ignores it, knowing it’s all risky. Sticking to this mindset for two or three years, his 30,000 yuan initial capital grew to over 8.3 million yuan, he paid off his debts long ago, bought a house, and even opened a takeout shop.

Now, he often tells his employees: making money from delivering takeout relies on steady steps, and the same applies to trading crypto assets. Be more cautious, take it slow—this way, you might even turn the tables.
