Every time I see someone with just a few thousand yuan rush in, shouting "tenfold strategy," I have to take a deep breath. The most deceptive thing in the crypto world is this word "fast." I’ve interacted with many retail investors; those who truly survive and grow steadily are not relying on all-in bets and high leverage, but rather those willing to move forward steadily and prudently.

**Don’t mistake agility for gambling with your life**

Too many newcomers enter the market thinking they are geniuses, with high leverage and all-in bets becoming the norm. When the market dips, they get caught at the bottom. In fact, the biggest cards for small funds are twofold: agility and low trial-and-error costs. But many people waste these advantages on gambling.

I know a guy whose account once had only $600 left, about to be wiped out. But he didn’t foolishly rush to recover losses; instead, he did a few things: reviewed every trade step by step, identifying issues like impulsive orders and holding onto losing positions too long; set strict rules for himself—only trade twice during ten market movements if confident, and hold back even if envious; take profits from each trade first, then use the remaining to chase trends.

Six months later? Not only did he regain stability, but his account never went to zero again. The irony is this: the more you rush to double your money, the faster you die; slow down, and you might actually outperform most people.

**Stability is about staying alive and waiting for opportunities**

Small funds are like seeds; they don’t grow into trees after a heavy rain. It takes a steady, long-term approach. My own strategy is simple: focus on established coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum—just sit tight. These two may not surge as wildly as altcoins, but they won’t go to zero overnight during a downturn. Keep a steady mindset, keep your hands steady, and your account will stay stable.
