Start with two thousand yuan in the crypto world. If you want to achieve something, one sentence is enough: Don’t dream of getting rich overnight; first learn to survive.



The biggest killer of such a small capital is impatience. Beginners often go all-in and leverage heavily right from the start. That’s not investing; that’s gambling, and nine times out of ten, they’ll be out quickly.

At this stage, what you need to practice is to make fewer mistakes, not to have more courage.

You must choose and execute one of these two paths:

The first is to focus deeply, sticking to one or two coins that you truly understand, with clear logic and trend comprehension, like SUI. Put all your energy into mastering each wave of its fluctuations.

The second is to diversify by splitting your funds into several parts, investing in two or three promising sectors. This way, you can spread out the risk of a single asset.

No matter which path you choose, there’s a strict rule you must never break: as soon as you make money, withdraw your principal immediately.

Let the profits run; this is the core survival rule for small accounts. It helps you hold onto those big market moves that you should take.

What often destroys small accounts isn’t the market itself, but impatience, fear of slow gains, and fear of missing out. Frequent trading and chasing highs blindly will only erode your capital bit by bit. Those who survive and gradually grow rely on controlling drawdowns and then waiting.

Don’t complain about slow growth. Doubling from 2000 to 4000 is a double increase; from 10,000 to 20,000 is also a double. Doubling early on is actually more important because you’re accumulating principal, practical experience, and psychological confidence at the same time.

This market doesn’t lack anything; what’s most scarce is the ability to survive until the real opportunity arrives. How far you can go ultimately depends on whether you have the discipline.

Really, the biggest enemy is the itch to trade, more deadly than a crash --- Trying to turn around with 2000 yuan is pointless without discipline --- No doubt, it's easy to say but hard to execute; most people can't make it past the first three months --- I'm the kind of person who fears missing out—it's a bloody lesson --- The ironclad rule of withdrawing principal is easy to say but extremely difficult to do --- Diversified layout sounds good, but in practice, it just means spreading out losses haha --- Surviving is winning; that really hits home

Really, itching to trade is the ultimate curse for small investors. I used to be the same, trading 2000 yuan for three months and only having 1800 left. Now I know, it's all about patience. The suggestion to withdraw principal is a dead end; very few people actually do it. This article has some substance, but honestly, if you earn slowly, your mindset will still collapse. You can't rush hot tofu, but no one believes it. Doubling your money sounds simple, but executing it truly tests human nature. Instead of staring at the market every day, it's better to learn something. Anyway, there's plenty of time. Safety of the principal comes first. I agree with this view, but unfortunately, 99% of people can't do it. Waiting is the hardest part, but that's the dividing line between those who make money and those who lose. Without heavy investment, you can't feel a sense of achievement; with heavy investment, you won't last long. It's really hard to find the right balance. Discipline is something wealthy people tend to have easily, but small investors find it almost impossible.

I just want to say, most people die at the step of impatience. Look at my friends in the crypto circle—invested two thousand, and a month later, the principal is gone. Haha. You're so right. It's not that they can't make money, but they can't control themselves. I agree with the idea of focusing on SUI; it's much more reliable than constantly switching coins. I learned the trick of withdrawing the principal; next time I make some profit, I'll run. Frequent trading is really crazy. It feels like every time, I'm just eroding my principal. The mindset of doubling is something I need to adjust; impatience won't get me anywhere. Only those who can survive are the winners. I need to learn more about patience.

ngl the "survive first, profit later" thesis is basically just admitting most people are too emotionally unstable for this game... which tracks honestly
