For Those with Capital Under 3,000U: Don't Dream of Getting Rich Quickly, Learn How to Survive First

Today I want to speak frankly to those entering the market with less than 3,000U in capital. At this stage, the biggest danger is not a bad market, but the psychology of wanting to “gamble on one shot.” Wanting quick gains, wanting to recover, wanting to turn the tables – that is the shortest path to account burn. Crypto never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are those who are still alive when opportunities appear. A True Story: 1,500U But Never Burned Once Last year, I mentored someone completely new. Initial capital: 1,500U. In the beginning, every time they entered a trade, their hands trembled, afraid of pressing the wrong button and losing the entire account. I only told them one thing: “Small capital means you must trade slowly and carefully.” The result: After 4 months: account grew to 19,000U After 6 months: reached 35,000U No burns, no forced losses, no all-in at any time Someone said that was lucky? No. That’s discipline, based on 3 survival principles I will explain below. Principle 1: Divide Capital into 3 Parts – Retreat Path Always More Important Than Advance Path The biggest mistake of small capital is putting all your money into one trade. The market only needs to go against you once, then: panic sets in, decision-making becomes chaotic, leading to a chain of mistakes. Correct approach: 🔹 1/3 Capital – Short-term Trading Trade only BTC, ETH Small target: 2% – 4% Take profit when in profit, don’t be greedy 👉 Purpose: maintain market rhythm + earn living money 🔹 1/3 Capital – Mid-term Trading Trade only when trend is clear Holding time: 1 – 4 days Eat the middle segment, avoid holding the peak 👉 Purpose: account growth 🔹 1/3 Capital – Absolute No Touch Use as reserve capital Market crashes, don’t use it 👉 This is your ticket back into the game if everything goes wrong Remember: Over 90% of coins out there go to near zero each year. Long-term survivors are not the most skilled, but those who don’t cut their own hands. Principle 2: Trade Only When There Is a Trend – Don’t Fire in a Sideway 80% of the time, the market moves sideways. Continuous trading during this period only helps: exchanges get richer, you get poorer Simple but effective trend-following approach: Weekly: identify the major direction Daily: find entry points 4H: manage wave rhythm Example: BTC weekly MACD creates a golden cross Correction day → this is the entry point, not during a strong green Discipline to Take Profits Profit ~12% → withdraw 50% Leave the rest to follow the trend 👉 Don’t dream of selling at the top; taking the middle segment is already a win Counter FOMO See altcoins rising strongly → stay out You don’t know if it’s a 10x coin or a zero-return ticket 👉 Opportunities are things to wait for, not things to chase after. Principle 3: The Bigger Rule Than Emotions – Play Because You Can Endure Losses Crypto kills not by losses, but by unwillingness to accept them. Loss → don’t cut Profit → don’t take profit Eventually, from small losses → big losses Three Red Lines You Must Follow ❌ Max loss per trade 1–1.2%❌ Profit 2.5–3% → halve your position❌ Never average down when in loss 👉 If you’re heading the wrong way, get out of the market, don’t argue with it. I’ve seen too many people: initially only small losses because they didn’t cut → end up stuck long-term ultimately losing the chance to come back Crypto is not short of smart people; it’s short of disciplined fools. The Honest Words of Those Who Went Before When money is still scarce, your greatest advantage is: losing is tolerable losing a few hundred U doesn’t affect your life But if you always think: “Trade one more to recover” sooner or later, you will lose the seed to recover. The person I mentored didn’t become rich because of high skills, but because they held onto 3 logical foundations: Divide capital – control risk No trend – no trade Discipline rules – don’t listen to emotions 👉 That’s the true survival logic of the crypto market.

Stay on the right path, and money will find you.
