The first goal of small capital is not to make money, but to train oneself on how not to lose money.
Friends, do you see that three thousand dollars in my wallet? That was originally money I planned to use for a new phone, but in a moment of impulse, I jumped into the crypto world. At that time, I was just like you, my heart pounding: what can this little money do in the crypto space? Buy a cup of milk tea to watch the K-line, or is it more practical to top up game coins?
Looking back now, I didn't get rich, but I did crawl out of the novice 'graveyard'. Today, let's not talk about 'tenfold or hundredfold myths', but let's chat about some real ways to survive.
The 'three-way division' strategy with three thousand yuan
At that time, I gritted my teeth and split the three thousand yuan into three parts, each playing only one logic.
First part: Only do 'double signal resonance' opportunities.
The core of this strategy is waiting. I wait for clear breakthrough structures in the technical aspect (for example, stabilizing above EMA20 on the 4-hour level), while community sentiment shifts from 'despair' to 'calm'. I won't enter during a frenzy in the market but will quietly buy when the public is generally pessimistic but indicators have begun to strengthen.
Second part: Ambush 'stories in the track'
I choose areas with real progress like AI and decentralized physical infrastructure, but strictly follow the principle of 'only buying leaders, not buying low-quality tokens'. The survival rate of the top 50 meme coins from 2021 to now is only 12%, which is the cost of random buying.
Third part: The 'mobile troops' only take action during panic
This part of the money is more like an 'emergency fund', only used to pick up bargains during market panic. Moreover, only invest in the targets I have deeply researched, never blindly follow the trend. The moment when the market experiences panic selling and others are desperately selling is when I consider taking action.
Two simple but effective stop-loss rules
Hard stop-loss: If a single loss exceeds 5% of the principal, exit unconditionally.
This is my iron rule. If I lose 5%, I shut down and take a walk; I will not engage in a prolonged battle. Data shows that those who operate with full positions have an 11 times higher chance of liquidation than those who diversify, which is why I resolutely refuse to build positions in batches.
Logical stop-loss: If the reason for buying disappears, exit immediately.
If after buying the price doesn't rise or the correlation doesn't work, even if it hasn't reached the 5% loss threshold, I will decisively exit. I won't wait for fate to judge or compete with the market.
'Bun shop' profit management strategy
I have a 'bun shop strategy': every time I earn 50%, I convert half of the profit into stable assets. Just like running a bun shop, I must first set aside the flour money at the end of the day and then decide whether to add meat filling for tomorrow.
The benefit of doing this is—you always have a chance to sit at the table, while many people have already lost their entry tickets. Those who made a fortune in the bull market rely not only on luck; position management is their key to making money.
Survival wisdom for small funds
The harsh truth in the crypto circle is: most people come here hoping to 'turn things around', but end up not even learning to 'stand firm'. As high as 79% of beginners will incur losses in their first year, this is the reality.
Three thousand yuan is not a lot, but if you can use it to practice position management, emotional control, and opportunity identification, you have already outperformed 90% of beginners. Remember: a bull market is for realizing knowledge, not for getting out of a loss.
Don't be fooled by those 'get rich overnight' stories; the real experts are the ones who survive in the market. Cambridge data shows that beginners who strictly adhere to risk management rules can improve their three-year survival rate from 19% to 68%.
So, hold on to your three thousand yuan and start real learning. In this market, controlling risk is more important than chasing high profits. Survive, and when the opportunity comes, you will have the chips to play.
