#以太坊大户持仓变化 People often ask me: I only have less than $1,000 in principal, is there still hope in the crypto world?
Every time I get asked this, I just smile. Not at the person asking, but because I truly understand that feeling of dilemma.
When I first entered this circle, I only had $800 in my account, which later dropped to $300. During that period, my hands would tremble when placing orders, not because I was afraid of losing money itself, but because I feared that one wrong decision could knock me out and leave me with no chance to turn things around.
Later, I brought a friend along, who started with only $600 and was almost ready to give up. The first thing I told him was very straightforward: "Don’t worry about turning things around first; learn how to survive first."
A month later, $600 turned into $6,000. Two months after that, the account broke through $20,000. Throughout the process, I never experienced a liquidation, and my trading was so steady it didn’t look like that of a beginner.
Some might say it was luck. But those three months were actually quite "boring"—no all-in bets, no chasing highs and selling lows, no impulsive trades. Every step was strictly according to the rules.
Initially, he also doubted: "This is too slow, can I really make money?"
I showed him my real trading account: when the market moves, I eat a position; during sideways markets, I reduce positions; if I can’t see clearly, I simply stay flat and wait.
Making money, at the end of the day, isn’t about how brave you are, but about how strong your execution is.
Later, he gradually understood a principle—that having less principal is actually an advantage. With a lighter position, the risk is naturally smaller, and the account can grow steadily.

600U to 20,000, that's really intense... but I think the most heartbreaking thing is still that phrase "stay alive," too many people die chasing the dream of turning things around.

That's right, having a small principal can actually be an advantage; the only concern is losing your composure.

That's right, small accounts are indeed more likely to survive. Those who go all-in tend to die the fastest.

600U turning 10x, is that real or fake? You'd have to be so stable to pull that off... just thinking about it makes my hands itch, I definitely would've gone all-in already.

Hey really, having a small principal actually becomes an advantage, I deeply understand this point, I was also very cautious before.
