How does a small wallet survive in the crypto world? I've been asked this a hundred times.



When I first started, my account was only about 800U, and at the worst, it shrank to 300U. Back then, I would open the trading interface and couldn’t stop clicking—not because I was afraid of liquidation, but because I was afraid that a careless slip would force me to completely give up.

Later, I mentored a brother who was even more reckless—starting with only 600U, every day felt like considering whether to quit the circle. I told him one thing, and he still remembers it: Don’t think about getting rich overnight; first, learn to stay alive.

A month later, his account grew to 6,000U. In three months, it broke through 20,000U. He never once got liquidated, and his stability was incredible.

He later asked me, "K哥, with such a slow pace, can I really turn things around?" I showed him my early trading records: when the market rises, I enter to eat the meat; during sideways periods, I hold light positions and wait; if the market moves against me, I close all positions and watch the show. Making money has never depended on being bold; it’s about following strict rules.

Only after doing this for a while did he realize: having less capital is actually the biggest advantage. Light positions mean lower risk of a crash; steady operations lead to faster growth. The most common thing I told him back then was—you're not here to fight a war; you're here to steadily earn some money. Take profits when you can, run when you should, don’t be greedy.

In the end, this brother went from 600U to 20,000U, and finally told me: "K哥, I finally understand. It’s not the market that causes losses, it’s my hands that keep clicking randomly."

Everyone must remember: you don’t need to be super smart; just avoid reckless operations, and you’ve already won more than half the battle. Having little capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is lacking methods, patience, and someone to give you a hand.

Maybe you once wandered alone in the crypto night, bumping around blindly. Now, this light is here, never gone out. Whether you dare to come or not depends on your determination.

Really? Hands are the most valuable. Seeing the jump from 600U to 20,000, I was a bit overwhelmed. Mainly because I also have that kind of impulsive nature.

To be honest, this is the truth of the crypto world: being quick doesn't necessarily mean making quick profits; it can actually lead to quick losses.

To be honest, I've seen this growth pace from 600 to 20,000 before. Not being greedy is really half the battle.

Honestly, slipping up really takes the cake. Now I instinctively pull back whenever I see the order placement interface. I believe the guy who went from 600 to 20,000, but most people are just careless and lose 20,000 back to 600—that's the norm.

That hits too close to home. Slipping up is truly deadly... I'm currently just living by restraining my desires.

That's so true, being careless is the number one killer in the crypto world...
