The year I first entered the crypto space, I only had 200U in my account.

Back then, I kept thinking about making 10x or 20x, believing that catching one wave would change my life. But reality was brutal—I got liquidated three times in a week, and my account shrank to 80U. #哥伦比亚VS葡萄牙
It was from that moment that I truly understood one thing: a small principal isn’t scary; what’s scary is having no rules. $XRP
Later, I split that 80U into smaller portions, only taking a small part into each trade. If the direction was wrong, I cut losses immediately; if it was right, I took profits and left, no longer dreaming of hitting it big on a single trade. Many people think this is too slow, but those who really manage to grow a small account don’t rely on going all-in—they rely on never being eliminated by the market. $SOL
Another point: never try to recover immediately after a liquidation. I used to do that—lose one trade, then go all-in on the next, trying to win it back hard. The result was that the more impatient I became, the faster I lost. The market won’t give your money back just because you’re desperate; it will only keep charging tuition. #美光市值超越Meta跻身全美前十
Later, when my account slowly grew to a few hundred U, I became even more cautious. Many people start getting cocky once their principal gets bigger, thinking they can finally go heavy. But my habit is the opposite: the more money I have, the lighter my position. Because those who truly make money fear not earning too little, but a single mistake that wipes out all previous profits.
After all these years, my biggest takeaway is just one sentence:
In the end, crypto is not about who catches a wild altcoin, but who can stay at the table.
Survive, and you’ll see the next bull run; protect your principal, and you’ll be qualified to wait for the next opportunity. $AVA
Don’t always dream of getting rich overnight. First, learn to make steady profits—that’s the real path for retail investors.
