#BTC Here’s a heartfelt word for those brothers whose principal is less than 10,000 USDT, holding a few thousand USDT and feeling restless.


#ETH Back then, I was just like you—watching market fluctuations, itching to jump in immediately;
#sol constantly scrolling through others’ profit screenshots; the 3,100 USDT in my hand felt like a hot potato, always wanting to double it as quickly as possible.
But later, I realized: having a small principal isn’t fatal—acting in haste is.
Crypto isn’t a game you win by luck,
nor is it a casino for betting big or small.
You think you can turn things around by going all-in in one shot,
but the reality is:
90% of small-capital traders don’t lose because of direction—they lose because they act “too fast.”
Back then I placed impulsive orders, bought in chasing green candles, panicked and sold on red ones,
and in less than a month, my 3,100 USDT was shaken down to 900 USDT.
It wasn’t that the market was so ruthless, but that I wanted to win too quickly.
That mindset is even more dangerous than high leverage.
It wasn’t until later that I started to operate like an “old hunter”:
No chasing pumps, no joining the hype,
every order starts with assessing risk, no longer dreaming of overnight doubling.
I broke my positions into smaller parts, set stop-losses in advance, kept greed locked outside the door.
The result?
For the first time, my account balance stopped skyrocketing only to crash back down.
It started to rise steadily, stacking up numbers little by little.
That’s how my 3,100 USDT became my first real capital.
So brothers, remember this:
With a small principal, you don’t win by speed—you win by surviving.
Every time you play it safe, you give yourself one more chance to turn things around;
Every time you act impulsively, you hand your hard-earned money to the market as tuition.
Being steady isn’t cowardice;
Being steady is the only way out for low capital.
When you get this rhythm right,
when you learn not to act rashly in the face of volatility,
when you can avoid chasing, gambling, and rushing,
then every single USDT you hold will truly be “ammunition,” not cannon fodder.
Now I’ve made it out—what about you?
Ask yourself: are you willing to be a lifelong bagholder, or do you want to be the one who laughs last?

《经典成交量口诀》 买横买坑不买竖,卖点就在鼎沸处。 连续小涨是真涨,连续大涨要离场。 急跌无量是恐吓,缓跌放量赶紧撤。 大幅冲高要回踩,不挖深坑不大买。
