A while ago, a friend came to chat with me. He had only 3000 RMB and wanted to dip his toes into the crypto space, asking me if I had any tips.


My first reaction wasn't to teach him how to make money, but to ask: Do you want to try it out, or do you want to gamble?
3000 RMB isn't a lot, but in the crypto space, it's right at a critical point — enough for you to practice, but not enough for you to make a big mistake.
Converted, it's about 400U. To roll it up, it's not about luck, but rhythm.
I told him to first split the 400U into 4 parts, only using 100U each time to test and make mistakes. Stop when it's lost, don't add, don't chase. The first step is not to make money, but to learn to control losses.
Enter only when two conditions are met: emotional recovery after a sharp drop, or an early structure that has just started.
Open a position with 100U, leverage no more than 10x. The goal is simple: survive first.
He asked how much profit on the first trade counts as success. I said it's not about the profit, but whether the process was executed.
If you're right, reduce part of the position to recover risk, and let the rest of the profit run on its own. Don't predict the end.
He did one round, rolling 100U to over 200U. Not much, but the rhythm was right. I told him, this step is more important than making money, because it's the foundation of whether you can scale up later.
Then I told him to do one critical thing: when the principal doubles, withdraw it all, leaving only the profit to continue rolling. Many people lose not because they don't know how, but because they don't cash out when they profit, and end up giving it all back to the market.
The crypto space doesn't lack opportunities; it lacks people who execute rules. You don't lack principal; you just haven't learned to let a small capital survive first.

This mindset is absolutely right—first practice discipline with 400U, then talk about making money. How many people go all-in right away and then end up at zero.

Double your capital, withdraw all principal, and only roll with the profits. This rule has saved too many people, but executing it is a hundred times harder than predicting.
