Starting from 2,000 yuan, if you want to make a name in the crypto world, there are actually only four words: surviving is the most important.
The biggest enemy of this initial capital is impatience. Heavy positions, high leverage, full positions—seem bold, but essentially it's gambling. Quick in and out, stories of losing everything are too common.
Your current lesson is not how to get rich quickly, but how to make fewer mistakes. At this stage, surviving is more critical than earning.
**Choose one of the two paths**
First: Focus deeply on one or two projects you truly understand. For example, $SUI, $SOL—these have clear logic and obvious trends. Keep a close eye on them and master every fluctuation.
Second: Diversify your investments by splitting your money into several parts and spreading them across two or three promising targets. This reduces the risk associated with any single asset.
Either way is fine, but one ironclad rule must be followed: once you make money, withdraw the principal immediately. Let the remaining funds run on their own. This is the strongest psychological defense for small funds and helps you truly hold onto the market trends you should.
The real killer for small accounts isn't the market itself, but itchy fingers, fear of missing out, and impatience. Frequent trading and chasing highs will gradually erode your capital. Those who survive rely on controlling drawdowns and stubborn patience.
Don't think slow growth is a problem. Doubling 2000 to 4000 is a double, and turning 10,000 into 20,000 is also a double. Those initial doubles are actually the most valuable because they help you develop mental resilience, accumulate experience, and grow your capital.
Market opportunities are plentiful; what’s scarce is the person who can survive until the opportunity arrives. For big directions like $BNB, $SOL, just pick one, and the rest depends on your willpower.

Really, restlessness is an incurable disease. I've seen so many people invest 2,000 yuan and lose everything in three months just because they see the market move and want to trade. You still have to stay patient; patience is truly a luxury.

That hits too close to home. I'm itching to trade, and I can't stop myself from wanting to act on the daily market watch.

Speaking honestly, I'm just afraid that the people around me won't listen and will insist on going all in.
Being stubborn is sometimes a necessary trait for survival.
Trying to turn 2000 yuan around, first you need to learn not to be greedy.
The itch to trade needs to be cured, or else the principal will be worn down day by day.
Withdrawing the principal is a brilliant move; it instantly stabilizes your mindset.
Frequent trading really is a meat grinder for small accounts.
Understanding a project thoroughly and sticking to it is much better than blindly messing around.
Slow gains are not a bad thing; staying alive is the hard truth.
Impatience is truly the Achilles' heel for nine out of ten people.

That's so true, the itch is the root of poverty. I've been tortured by this thing until now.
So, I just want to ask those guys who operate frequently, how many points can they really earn in a year? Let's hear it.
As long as the principal is protected, taking it slow is really not a problem, right?
Seeing someone chase the high again, I think of that saying: only those who survive have the right to talk about making money.
It's actually greed that causes this. I always feel that slow operations are too low-level, but in reality, those small retail investors who are still lively and kicking, aren't they all doing the same?
The heavy position strategy really needs to be abandoned; it's too easy to blow up your mentality.

That's right, the biggest fear for small funds is getting itchy.
Speaking of which, withdrawing the principal is easier said than done.
Is two thousand really enough? It always feels like it can't keep up with inflation.
To be honest, most living people haven't made any money.
$SOL this wave feels a bit tiring, are you still holding on?
I agree that slow growth is acceptable, but the mental state really collapses.
Actually, the hardest part isn't choosing the project, but not moving after choosing.
