Not making money is all blamed on bad market conditions? That way of thinking is flawed.
What really traps you are often these pitfalls: never reviewing losses, greedily chasing high after gains, relentlessly rushing regardless of market trends, and confidently saying "This is how small funds should play." So what’s the result? Either your account goes to zero and you exit in disappointment, or you stagnate and spin in place, never turning things around.
But think about it: if the crypto world really only allowed big funds to make money, it would have long been monopolized by institutions and whales, leaving no room for ordinary traders.
Get this clear: most people lose not because they have little capital, but because of poor operation and bad mentality.
Taking $100 to reach $1000, there are two paths in front of you:
**Path 1**: Go all-in, focus on a "seemingly unlimited potential" coin, and bet everything on it, hoping for tenfold gains.
**Path 2**: Use a rolling position strategy, break down your goals into segments, and gradually amplify returns with controlled risk.
Most people, though they don’t admit it, are honest in action—they choose Path 1. It’s exciting, it’s simple, and it looks like a quick turnaround. But reality is cruel: once the market moves against you, you have no chance to review or reflect, and your account is wiped out. On the surface, they pursue efficiency, but in reality, they’re just gambling their principal on luck.
Those who can survive long-term in crypto all choose Path 2.
The core of rolling positions has never been about chasing huge profits, but about understanding how to break down goals, control risks, and accumulate profits. I’ve seen too many people with just over $100 in capital, unwilling even to set stop-losses, ending up with small losses or catastrophic big losses.
Instead of rushing to turn $100 into $1000, it’s better to think about how to grow from $100 to $300 first: divide into several operational cycles, each aiming for a stable profit of $30 to $50, take some profits off the table when achieved, and continue rolling the rest—absolutely no all-in.
This process is slow, so slow that many can’t stand it. But it’s this slow process that forms the core competitive advantage: you won’t be knocked out by a single market move, and your account remains in a state of "living and growing."
Rolling positions is like rolling a snowball; at the beginning, it’s hard to see, but as long as you keep the right direction and maintain a steady rhythm, it will accelerate faster than you expect in the later stages.
Don’t forget: true position rolling never relies on luck for overnight riches, but on the certainty built through repeated rolling. Those who can outperform the market have all taken this step-by-step approach.

Exactly right, most people know that rolling the dice is good, but they still can't resist going all-in with their hands.

Sounds right, but in reality most people just can't control their hands, myself included... Going all-in is really addictive.

To be honest, I was the kind of person in the first example, going all-in twice and getting knocked back to my original form haha

What are you bragging about here? It sounds nice, but how many actually make a profit...

Well said. I used to be that kind of all-in gambler, and I lost everything in one shot. Now I realize that staying steady and gradually growing is the right way.

That's right, it's all about mindset and execution. I've seen too many all-in players lose everything in one shot.

That's exactly right, it's a matter of mindset and discipline. Most people simply can't achieve this slow and steady growth.
