Someone asked me, can I make money by investing 5000 yuan in the crypto world? My answer is: Yes. But the premise is that you need to have patience.

I've been in this industry for six years and have seen too many people come back to life full of energy when they enter, only to look expressionless when they leave. A large portion of them are small investors. What do they have in common? One word: Impatient.

Imagine having only a few thousand yuan in your account, watching the K-line fluctuate up and down every day, afraid of missing any market move, eager to double your money by tomorrow if you invest today. What happens then? Chasing highs and selling lows, cutting your principal in half after two weeks. I've seen too many cases where 1500 yuan ends up with only 800 yuan.

But this is not inevitable. Last year, a novice approached me with only 600 yuan in his account. I didn't tell him any complex theories, just taught him three rules. After three months, his account grew to 20,000 yuan. He never blew up his position nor got caught in a trap once.

His initial problem was the same as yours—super fast reflexes, wanting to run as soon as BTC rises two points, sweating when it drops one point. I told him the first thing: forget about the word "get rich quick," and first develop the habit of "not gambling" as a basic skill.

The advantage of small capital is actually overlooked. Because the principal is small, your trial-and-error cost is low. It's not about chasing every trade to double, but about accumulating through repeated small wins. Earning 10% in a month and quadrupling in three months—this may not sound exciting, but it's much more sustainable than a one-night wipeout.

The crypto world is never short of stories about overnight riches, but those who can steadily grow small funds are not relying on luck or secret tricks. It’s about rhythm, respecting your position, and cultivating the right mindset.

The crypto world is not a casino. True hunters never rush to pull the trigger.
