Over the years, I've seen a lot in the crypto market. Newcomers enter with just a few hundred or thousand dollars, dreaming of doubling their investment overnight. But within two weeks, their accounts are wiped out. Honestly, I've seen this pattern too many times.

But I encountered someone a bit different. Starting with at least 3,000U, he took four months to reach 55,000U, and now his account has stabilized above 68,000U, never once liquidating his position. Why was he able to survive? Simply put, he mastered the same logic I used to go from 8,000U to financial freedom.

At first, he was anxious too, asking every day if he could go all-in and gamble. I directly asked him, "Do you want to preserve your principal, or are you prepared to lose everything?"

Then I assigned him a strategy—divide 3,000U into three parts: 1,000U for intraday short-term trades, taking profits quickly and avoiding greed; 1,000U for swing trading based on market rhythm, staying still when the market is unclear; and the last 1,000U frozen as the bottom line for turning things around.

He was reluctant at first, watching others with full positions making huge gains, fingers itching to do the same. But after one cycle, those who went all-in either got cut in half or blew up, while his small position remained steady. That’s when he finally understood—the key to surviving in the crypto world is to stay alive.

When the market truly arrived, he acted decisively. A single swing trade earned him over 10%, and profits started snowballing, pushing his account upward. The most memorable moment was when he made 5,000U in one trade, and he was so excited his voice trembled.

In fact, small capital isn’t the problem; the real issue is not understanding the rules. You must never hold on stubbornly to stop-loss points, take profits promptly, and avoid greed, panic, or reckless re-entries. Going from 3,000U to 68,000U is not about gambler’s luck, but about discipline, patience, and execution.

Those fantasies of getting rich overnight? They’re just traps the market sets for newcomers. The ones who truly make it to the end are those who can control themselves and know how to survive in the market. Don’t rush to double your money—learn to survive first, and wealth will naturally follow.
