To be honest, nine out of ten people entering the crypto space have dreamed of overnight doubling their money. But the ones who have truly made money—none of them did it by risking everything recklessly.

What's the difference? It's understanding the rhythm, reading the market trends, and knowing when to take profits.

My account now has tens of millions, but I used to be just like you—a retail investor with a few thousand USD. No insider information, no capital backing, just a life and enough rationality. People often ask me how I grew from a few thousand USD to this scale. The answer is simply four words: risk control.

My first investment was 1000 USD. I didn't put all my funds into one position but split it into five parts, each 200 USD. Every trade had a stop-loss, no chasing highs, no fighting against the trend, and no stubbornly holding on. Back then, I kept reminding myself—"You're here to quietly make money, not to gamble your life away."

When I didn't understand the market trend, I would sit on the sidelines and keep my positions flat. Once I was sure of the direction, I would gradually build my position. By doing this, my account slowly grew from 1000 USD to 10,000 USD, and only then did I start considering adding more. But it was never a all-in move—when the trend was clear, I added in stages, gradually increasing the scale.

At around 200,000 USD, my first reaction wasn't celebration but withdrawal. Every week, I would lock in some profits, converting digital gains into real money. Not because I was afraid of losing, but because I was afraid of being blinded by victory. The market is toxic; each hype teaches you a lesson.

Last year, I met a brother who followed the same approach from 800 USD to 23,000 USD. When he withdrew his funds that day, he was so excited he couldn't speak coherently, saying it was the first time in his life he felt that not all stories in crypto are about liquidation. I understood him. Retail investors' real fear isn't losing money itself but lacking a clear direction.

Looking back, I wouldn't say I have innate talent to get this far. It’s because I don’t act recklessly, insist on a stable rhythm, and know when to enter and exit. Remember these three rules: avoid reckless gambling, manage your position sizes, and regularly take profits. Doing these seemingly simple things will naturally lead to wealth accumulation.
