Speculative trading is as old as the mountains. What happens in the market today has happened before, and will happen again in the future. Wall Street has no new tricks because human nature has never changed.



I am often asked, with only one or two thousand U in capital, is there any meaning in entering the crypto space?

My answer has always been that the smaller the capital, the easier it is to take the right path.

Recently, a student had only 1500U in his account, but his emotions were more volatile than the market. He was eager to double his money and wanted quick gains. I told him to slow down first—no heavy positions, no betting on directions, and to follow the rules for every trade. For the first three days, there was almost no “excitement,” and he even doubted whether he had learned anything at all.

Until the fourth day, when the trend emerged, we entered the market accordingly, and one trade gained 18%. He realized for the first time: making money can be so quiet. In the following days, he traded when the market moved, waited when there was no opportunity, and his account gradually increased. No sudden surges, no miracles, but every step was steady.

True change is not about profits, but about him no longer being emotionally driven by candlestick patterns. Not chasing after rises, staying calm during dips, stopping losses without hesitation—execution is more important than judgment. At that moment, I knew he had “gotten started.”

I have seen too many people who hold ten thousand U but lose because of impulsiveness; I have also seen countless people starting with a few thousand U, surviving cycle after cycle through discipline.

The crypto space never rewards the boldest; it only rewards those who can survive until the end. Small capital is not a disadvantage; losing control is.
When you learn to stay steady at the table, turning things around is only a matter of time.
