$7000 USD, on a normal day, that's just the price of a mid-range phone. When many people hear this principal, they shake their heads: "Crypto world? What can seven thousand bucks do?" But I actually think it's a pretty good starting point—the reason is simple: you can afford to lose.

Think about it, someone who enters with 300k, if they lose 100k, they'll break down mentally and won't sleep well at night. But me, with just 7000, the worst that can happen is losing it all, which lets me calmly watch the charts and place orders without panic. So how do you grow from 7000? Don't expect a 100x contract, and don't fantasize about hitting it big on one all-in bet. I rely on three strategies, honed through pure real-world trading.

Strategy one: Always follow the major trend.
When the trend is up, I long honestly; when the trend is down, I short obediently. Never guess the top, never catch a falling knife, and never argue with the market—the market is always right; only those who insist on going against it are wrong.

Strategy two: Light positions + low leverage—survival first.
The smaller your principal, the more you need to protect it. I only use a small portion of my capital for each trade, keeping enough in reserve; every trade must have a stop loss. Calculate how much you can lose in advance. Leaving with a small loss is not shameful; keep your bullets for the next shot.

Strategy three: Calculate the risk-reward ratio—don't work for nothing.
Don't take profit after two points and then hold a losing position to the death. Before every trade, I ask myself two questions: How much profit would satisfy me on this trade? How much loss am I willing to accept? As long as you maintain a reasonable risk-reward ratio over time, even if your win rate is average, you can build an edge.

Many people lose money not because there's no opportunity—it's because they dare not chase when it goes up and won't leave when it goes down. They rush to take small profits but play dead when losses get big. Going from 7,000 to 300k never comes from one big win; it's trade by trade, bit by bit, scraping out an edge.

Between "thinking about it" and "doing it," there's only one thing: long-term persistence—don't be lazy.
Mutual encouragement.
