#大户持仓变化 Do you also feel that making money in the crypto space is too difficult?
Actually, it's not hard, but most people simply don’t understand one thing — where the information gap is, there the opportunity lies.
Last year, there was a period when my account kept liquidating, and my $3,000 principal was about to be gone. Those nights were really tough, until a certain moment when I decided to change my approach.
Later, I developed a small-capital trading framework, which expanded my $3,000 to $270,000 in six months. Today, I’ll break down this logic for you.
But honestly, the most difficult part is step 4, which 99% of people can't stick to.
**Phase 1: Stop-loss Rebuilding (1-7 days)**
Most people give up at this stage. Why? Because their minds are still dreaming of 100x gains.
The essence of losing money isn’t your technical skill, but moving your fingers too fast.
Here’s how I allocated my $3,000:
$2,000 in spot trading, only selecting the top 20 projects by market cap. I never touch the 3rd, 7th, and 15th positions (more detail later).
$800 dedicated to arbitrage, used to capture market irrationality.
$200 as emergency reserve, real lifesaving money.
**Phase 2: Steady Growth (8-30 days)**
Mastering this phase allows for a stable daily average return of 3%-5%.
The core logic is twofold:
- The price difference of BTC/USDT across different exchanges exceeds 1.5% - Perpetual contract funding rate stays below -0.02% for 12 consecutive hours
When both signals appear simultaneously, you can execute hedge arbitrage:
Buy spot on Exchange A → Open short position on Exchange B
This way, you profit from price differences and funding rates, while also capturing volatility gains. Last month, this strategy helped me earn a steady $4,273.
**Phase 3: Active Hunting (31-90 days)**
Once your account surpasses $20,000, you truly enter the hunting mode.
Focus shifts to new coins. Many look at Bitcoin and mainstream coins, but miss the opportunities in newly listed projects.
Timing your entry well can easily double or triple your investment.
Growing from $3,000 to $300,000 is neither luck nor talent. It’s about staying rational, dividing your holdings reasonably, keeping up with information flow, and following the process strictly.
Want to turn the tide in crypto? First forget about overnight riches. Master the rules, get the system running smoothly, and earning money will come naturally.
Those who survive are never emotional gamblers but rule players.

99% can't hold on, that really pokes the heart. I am the kind of person who is quick when I get excited, cutting meat until I doubt life

Basically, it's arbitrage + position splitting. It sounds simple, but actually doing it requires survival skills. I failed because I couldn't persist through the second stage.

Here we go again, from 3000U to 270,000, how many times have I heard this... The problem is you didn't mention where that 99% of people who can't stick with it fall into the pit.

Step 4 really tests human nature; most people can't endure there and their accounts are wiped out.

I'm confident that step 4 can't be maintained; most people have already broken even and want to cash out, haha.
