#数字资产市场洞察 Small capital should give up on making big money? Quite the opposite.



The crypto world seems full of opportunities, but only a few actually make money. Most people fall into the same trap: greed. Starting with just a few hundred or thousand dollars, they try to go all-in and double their holdings overnight. The result? Most likely, they become market nutrients.

I have a real-life example. Starting with less than $1,000, over 42 days, the account grew to over $50,000. It sounds like a fairy tale, but the methodology is solid. The key isn’t luck, but discipline at every step.

The logic of turning small funds around is actually very simple, based on three principles:

**First, control single-trade risk.** Use no more than one-third of your capital for each position. The remaining capital is always for defense and should never be touched. What’s the benefit of this? Any loss is not fatal. Staying alive is the only way to have the next opportunity to profit.

**Second, harvest in stages and let profits ferment.** When the market moves, don’t close all positions at once; instead, take profits in batches. Don’t spend all the profits immediately; reinvest them as the next starting capital. This is the snowball effect. Profits become new principal, which can leverage larger gains.

**Third, resist greed.** This is the hardest part. When the market is hot, everyone wants to take more. But those who make big money stay the clearest-headed during crazy times. Take what you should, stop when it’s time, avoid FOMO, and don’t hold on stubbornly.

The power of compound interest is seriously underestimated. The advantage of small funds lies in flexibility—low cost, quick decisions, ample room for trial and error. As long as you master the rhythm, every cycle in the crypto market is an opportunity to turn things around.

When the next bull market arrives, those who stick to this method will see a completely different result.

That's right, the key is not to be greedy. I've been using the 1/3 position strategy all along.

That's right, but very few people can truly stick with it.

That's right, the key is really discipline, not a gambler's mindset based on luck.

Sounds good, but few can really do it. I've seen too many people who claim to control risk, but when the market comes, they go all-in.

It's easy to say nicely, but the key is restraint, which is really the hardest to achieve.
