#数字资产行情上升 How can someone with limited capital survive in the crypto world? I get asked this question more times than I can count. Honestly, the solution isn't complicated; most people just find it too troublesome or slow to grow, so they give up.



Last year, I followed a beginner who invested their entire savings of 1800U into the market. Just one trade, and within 30 days, it grew to 43,000U. I didn't use any hundredfold leverage gambling tricks, nor chase after hot tips or hype coins. I stayed away from those wildly pumped tokens. The entire process was mechanical, like running a programmed system according to rules. The final result was surprising, but every step was aligned with the right rhythm for making money.

There are three core methods, simple to state but challenging to stick to.

**First Trick: Separate your eggs, keep your escape ticket**

Split 1800U into three accounts. Use 800U for intraday trading—take small 3% profits and then close the position decisively, not aiming to maximize every gain. Allocate 500U for swing trading—if there’s no clear signal exceeding 15%, stay flat and avoid watching the charts out of boredom. The last 500U is for freezing—this is your reserve fund, and no matter how tempting the opportunity, don’t touch it.

Diversifying your positions isn’t being cowardly; it’s ensuring you always have a chance to turn things around. Those all-in accounts? They come and go quickly, often ending up with nothing.

**Second Trick: Only chase certain waves, stay flat during sideways markets**

Most of the crypto market time is spent in frustrating sideways consolidation. Reckless trading during these periods is just self-sabotage. Turn off your trading app, relax your mind—what are you waiting for? Clear breakout signals, the moment the trend fully unfolds. Coins like $XRP often see a major rally after consolidation—that’s the real entry point.

After entering, take profits once you reach 25%. Lock in some gains, and let the rest follow the trend upward. The benefit of this approach is that your principal is protected, and your psychological stress is much lower.

**Third Trick: Discipline trumps everything, technical analysis comes last**

Three strict rules, never broken in a whole month:
- If any trade loses more than 2% of your capital, cut it immediately—don’t hope for a rebound.
- Once you gain 5%, close half of your position right away, and protect the rest with a breakeven stop-loss.
- Never add to a losing position; averaging down is the fastest way to get wiped out.

Small capital can turn around not by daring to be reckless, but by trading more steadily. Use position splitting to protect your principal, follow the trend to secure profits, and enforce discipline to lock in gains. Step by step, even 1800U can grow into the number you want.

These are real lessons learned from market losses, not empty talk. The key is to take action yourself—waiting is the hardest skill to master.

Basically, it's patience. Most people really can't do this. I've seen the endings of all-in players; most of them suffer heavy losses. Discipline is more valuable than anything else. When you see the market consolidating, you just want to act—typical suicidal trading. From 1800 to 43,000, it sounds impressive, but the real test is whether you can hold your mindset.

That's right, discipline is really the hardest part. I just succumbed to impatience, still trading during sideways consolidation.

That's very true, discipline is really worth much more than luck. --- 1800U turned into 4.3W, it sounds outrageous but actually it's just that there are too few people who persist. --- What happened to the bunch of people who went all-in? Probably long gone. --- I've tried the position splitting trick; it's the biggest test of human nature when you're itching to trade. --- The key is really that one sentence: staying alive is winning. --- Waiting is indeed difficult; during sideways trading, you feel like making a move. --- No leverage, no exotic coins, only discipline—this approach is really heart-wrenching. --- It feels like this set of logic strips emotions and greed out of trading. --- Taking half profit at 5% seems conservative, but why are so many people unable to do it? --- I get the point of freezing that 500U with iron discipline; it's to prevent myself from getting carried away.

There's nothing wrong with that; the key is still the mindset. Most people just can't wait and have to go all-in.

Basically, it's just two words: discipline. Most people die because of greed.

Damn, 1800U has skyrocketed to 43,000. If I had done the same back then, it would have been great. Now I'm still standing still.

That's right, I just can't stick with it either.

That's right, it's all about discipline. How are those guys who went all-in doing now?
