In the crypto world, there are always people who come in with dreams of turning three to five k U overnight, only to be repeatedly educated by the market in less than two weeks, and end up losing everything.
The problem lies not in ability, but in not finding direction. The eagerness for quick success combined with a lack of awareness of rules is how one gets harvested.
I have seen a complete trading novice who can't even understand candlestick charts. When ETH rises by 5%, he immediately closes his position, and when it falls by 3%, he hurriedly adds to his position. After a week, he lost 120U. I directly told him to stop and said to not move for now, and to start from the basics.
Then I helped him create a split warehouse plan: 180U is used for short-term BTC, and when it rises to 2%, he takes the profit; 150U is specifically ambushed at the support level for swing trading, and he takes profits immediately; the remaining 150U is stored in a cold wallet as the ballast for the account, which he will never touch.
He was still anxious during the execution. After BTC had been flat for three days, he started to be eager to trade altcoins. I stopped him: "Moving around at this time will only lead to losses and a bad mindset." He held back. Three days later, BTC suddenly surged 8%. He strictly followed the rules, not only breaking even but also doubling his capital.
After this experience, he set a few strict rules for himself: the single loss should never exceed 1%, and if he judged incorrectly, he would withdraw immediately; once profits exceeded 3%, he would halve his position, never thinking about getting the last cent. Once, he exited early to cut losses, and the next day that coin plummeted by 15%. At that moment, he realized—following the rules is the fastest way to get rich.
In one year, he went from 600U to 20,000U. It wasn't just luck; it was because he learned to "be steady, protect, and endure."
The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what it lacks are those who can remain patient. If you have a small capital and want to turn things around, don't rely on a gambling mindset; you need to fight a well-structured battle. Rules are your true capital. Follow the right mindset and maintain the rhythm; even with a low starting point, you can write your own growth story.

Staying steady for the long term is the true way to succeed
