Talk honestly with everyone, I've been in the crypto space for almost eight years, and I've seen too many young people with three to five thousand in principal wanting to get rich quickly. They either buy high and get trapped or face liquidation on contracts. Today, I'm sharing my practical plan, which has no fancy tricks, but I know people who have really turned ten thousand into a million with this; the core is just two words: execution.
1. Don't think about buying coins yet, solidify your first bucket of gold.
Don't come in thinking about 'borrowing a chicken to lay an egg'. The most taboo thing with small funds is inflated principal. Listen to me, first calm down and work steadily for two months, whether it's running deliveries on weekends, driving at night, or taking some online part-time jobs, the goal is simple: save up ten thousand in principal.
Back in the day, I worked at night markets for two months just to save this ten thousand; my feet were sore, yet I couldn't bear to buy a new pair of shoes. During this phase, don’t complain about little money and hard work; what you're accumulating is not just the principal but also a respect for the difficulty of making money. This mindset can help you avoid 80% of the pitfalls later on.
2. Choose coins wisely; focus on "potential sprouts emerging from the bear market."
Once the principal is sufficient, the key comes: when to buy and what to buy directly determines whether you can turn things around. My iron rule is: focus on the weekly moving average of the market; as long as the market stays steadily above the 20-week moving average, you can take action. But absolutely avoid those large-cap old coins, which rise slower than snails; small capital can't afford it.
Look for those small coins that already have momentum during the bear market, where the team is doing solid work, such as high community engagement and real application scenarios, not those air coins that rely on hype. These types of coins are like seedlings just sprouting in winter; as soon as the market warms up a bit, they may shoot up to the sky. A small coin I invested in last year related to energy storage rose from 0.3 to 1.8, multiplying six times in five months.
3. Keep a retreat path; it's more important than anything else.
Many people fail due to "putting all their eggs in one basket." In my plan, ten thousand is the offensive fund; you must also set aside twenty thousand as backup capital. This money is not for averaging down but to give you the "cushion for trial and error." It's equivalent to having three chances; even if you make a wrong judgment once and stop-loss, it won’t be a fatal blow.
The stop-loss line must be strict: once the market drops below the 20-week moving average, don’t hesitate; clear your position immediately. At this point, don’t think about "will it rebound?" In the cryptocurrency world, preserving your principal is always more important than making small profits. Additionally, don’t just lay back during the waiting period; continue to make money and accumulate capital. The larger your capital pool, the more opportunities you’ll have later.
4. Knowing when to take profit is a real skill.
I've seen too many people holding onto doubled chips, insisting on waiting for ten or twenty times, only to ride a roller coaster back to the starting point. Remember my words: as long as the coins in your hand rise enough to 4 to 5 times, immediately take profits and exit, securing your gains. Just operate in this rhythm; small capital relies on "accumulating small victories for big wins."
From bear market to bull market, as long as you can seize three such opportunities, ten thousand can roll into one hundred twenty-five thousand—quickly in a year, slowly in three years. These are real cases happening around me. But if you miss all three opportunities, don’t force it; it indicates that this field is really not suitable for you. Quickly shift your focus back to work, improve yourself with side hustles, and living a decent life through solid income is nothing to be ashamed of.
Finally, let me say something heartfelt.
Is this method stupid? It's really foolish, with no leverage and no shortcuts, relying entirely on endurance and waiting. But it can help you survive in the cryptocurrency world and even make money. The worst thing is to be impatient and make random moves, let alone touch contracts; that's not gambling, it's risking your life.
I relied on this "stupid persistence" back in the day, going from a poor kid saving capital at night markets to someone who can make stable profits now. The method is given to you; whether you can seize the opportunity depends on your ability to stay calm. Remember, those who make big money in the cryptocurrency world are never the smartest but the most disciplined.
