Anyone I’ve mentored has asked the same question: with only a few thousand in seed capital, how is it possible to reach millions? I can’t give you empty promises; all I have is the real path—one I’ve carved out step by step myself.
When my account was down to just 7,000 RMB, I gritted my teeth and converted everything into 1000U. People might call it risking my entire wealth, which isn’t entirely untrue, but my mindset was truly tense.
The key was not going all-in at once but using 500U as a stepping stone. I kept an eye on the most active coins in the trading pairs—once they doubled in value, I would withdraw immediately. Even when losing down to 300U, I didn’t hesitate and cut my losses directly. After winning a few rounds, the principal gradually grew stronger. To be honest, the biggest test isn’t the technical skills but the mental state. As long as my account shows a profit of over 1,000U, I force myself to stop and rest; otherwise, the thrill can easily lead to losing control.
Once the principal started to take shape, I began to use the "three-part method" to expand my strategy: one part for short-term sniping—selling once reaching the target price and avoiding regrets; another part for dollar-cost averaging following the trend—letting time and market conditions decide, which makes the mindset lighter; and the last part for waiting passively—waiting for the right wind before making a move.
Before pressing the order button, I always mark my take-profit and stop-loss levels in my notes. Those who rush in based on feelings and intuition usually end up losing their profits to their emotions. Contracts, to put it plainly, are like a magnifying glass—your judgments, whether right or wrong, are amplified several times.
Until now, I’ve set four bottom lines for myself and never once broken them: never fully allocate all funds; every trade must have a stop-loss; no more than three trades per day; and withdraw a portion of the earnings whenever I make a profit.
I’ve seen too many people make a quick profit relying on luck, only to lose everything out of greed. My ability to sustain from 1000U to now doesn’t rely on any secret—when it’s time to act, I do so decisively; I enforce my discipline strictly and rigorously. Coins rotate, markets change faces, but this set of rules always remains my protective moat.

Basically, it's about mentality and discipline, nothing else; technical skills are actually secondary.

It's quite straightforward, and maintaining the right mindset is indeed the hardest part. I've personally experienced many times the pain of losing control of pleasure.

Sounds good, but honestly, I've heard this kind of saying too many times. Every time it's "I made money through discipline," then when the next bear market comes, it all evaporates, and the retail investors are still worshipping it. Risk control is important, but you have to admit there's an element of luck—I don't believe you've never stepped into a trap set by the market makers.

It's all about attitude and discipline; no matter how good your skills are, they won't get you anywhere without the right mindset.

You're really right, discipline is worth more than anything else.

Talking without action is useless; the real hurdle is whether you can withstand those days of mental breakdown.

It all seems right, but I just want to ask—what's become of those who couldn't get through the mental hurdle now?

Sounds pretty hardcore, but I've heard this logic quite a few times. The key is whether it can actually be implemented.
