The fastest way in the crypto world is to first learn to be slow.
“Teacher, I only have 1200U. Is there any quick way to double it?”
Every time I hear this kind of question, I want to directly reply: Wake up! If you don't even have the patience to get rich, the only outcome for you in the crypto world is to get wrecked completely.
Last year I brought a friend who also started with 1200U, with his head full of contract leverage and hundredfold coins. What was the result? He would float with small profits and crash with small losses, and in less than two months his account shrank to 600U. Until he gritted his teeth and changed his strategy, three months later his account stood steadily at 25,000U. It wasn't due to some earth-shattering operation, but by doing three very simple things well.
1. Diversify: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
I had him split the 1200U into three parts:
Trade with 400U intra-day, only open one order a day, and stop regardless of profit or loss;
Trade with 400U for swing trading, hold on to the trend, and only make moves once every ten days or two weeks;
In the end, 400U is my lifeline, unwavering.
Going all in sounds exhilarating, but the pain comes after the thrill. The essence of investing is a probability game; even the highest win rate can't counter a black swan event. Many small investors want to make a big turnaround, but end up either trapped or cut, with a very high probability of losing money.
I've seen too many people dive in with all their capital and get anxious at the slightest market fluctuation. Diversifying your positions not only spreads risk but also reduces psychological pressure. When you are no longer anxious about every fluctuation, you can see more opportunities.
2. Only trade in clear markets; do not be an 'all-weather trader.'
The most misleading statement in the cryptocurrency world is 'there are always opportunities.' 80% of losses stem from impulsive actions; clearly unable to see the direction, yet insisting on entering the market.
My rules are very simple: do not watch sideways movements; if the direction is unclear, stay out of the market. Only act in trends that you can understand, reduce the frequency of operations, and improve the quality of trades.
In a bull market, declines should be seen as gifts; focus on accumulating strong coins that perform well. Many people actually lose money in a bull market because they frequently switch coins and miss the main upward wave.
The market loves new things; newly listed tokens often have larger price increases. But for small investors, capturing the leading coin in a specific trend offers a better risk-reward ratio than trading small-cap coins.
3. Rules override everything: Establish a set of trading discipline for yourself.
Trading small amounts without rules is like walking a tightrope blindfolded—completely relying on luck.
I set a strict set of rules for him:
Choosing coins: Follow the daily MACD golden cross only above the zero line;
Hold: Keep when the price is above the daily moving average; exit when it breaks below;
Take profit: Sell part at a 40% profit, sell another part at 80%, and clear out if the line breaks;
Stop loss: If the closing price falls below the moving average, withdraw unconditionally the next day.
Making money in a bull market is easy, but holding onto profits is difficult. Regularly take profits and transfer them to a cold wallet; I would rather give up some potential gains than leave the market empty-handed.
Many people start by following the rules, make some money, and then think 'this time I can make an exception.' As a result, one exception returns all profits. The most terrifying thing in the cryptocurrency world is not making wrong judgments, but letting discipline succumb to emotions.
As long as you are alive, you have the chance to turn things around.
Now, my friend's account has exceeded 50,000U, and the key point is—he doesn't stay up late, doesn't watch the market all the time, and doesn't feel anxious. He spends a little time analyzing the market every day, moves when he sees the right opportunity, and leaves after the move.
The cruelest aspect of the cryptocurrency world for small investors is that it won't gently wear you down; instead, it will repeatedly extinguish your hopes. However, from another perspective, the advantage of small capital is flexibility, ease of entry and exit, and lower psychological pressure. By making good use of these advantages, it is entirely possible to double and then roll over your operations.
If your capital is small and you keep thinking about making a big turnaround, I advise you to leave this market as soon as possible. The cryptocurrency world is not a casino; it is a place for monetizing knowledge. When you stop pursuing overnight wealth and instead take the time to learn, think, and operate less, you will find that opportunities will naturally come.
The smartest people learn more in bear markets and make more money in bull markets. Such conditions will not last forever; seize opportunities, but do not go all in.
