Last year, a friend told me that he entered the crypto market with 500 yuan. To be honest, at that time he couldn't even understand the candlestick charts, and his hands would tremble every time he placed an order. But three months later? He already had 15,000 yuan lying in his account. The whole process didn't involve adding a single penny or being liquidated.
I have been in the crypto market for 8 years, and I've seen too many newbies dreaming of hitting it big, only to lose everything after a market correction. But this guy's case made me realize one thing: the principal amount doesn't really matter; what can truly be fatal is not knowing how to be "stable".
Today let's talk about this methodology for small capital to make a comeback. Mastering these three bottom lines can help you avoid at least 90% of unnecessary detours.
**Rule 1: Diversify your positions, always leave yourself a way out**
The common problem for beginners can be summed up in one word - "risk". They bet everything on one coin; if they win, they boast, and if they lose, they go to the rooftop. My buddy didn't do this from the start.
His allocation method is as follows:
Invest 120 in a "floating position", only touching those mainstream coins, set a 2% fluctuation space, and take profit and stop loss once triggered, giving yourself no opportunity for greed.
180 yuan to enter the "offensive position", specifically capturing opportunities that can arise at the 4-hour level, holding for a maximum of 3 days, and exiting immediately once there are profits.
The remaining 200 is the "safety net", which won't be touched unless it's the end of the world; this is your foundation to survive through the black swan events.
The significance of diversifying your positions is not about how much you can earn, but rather that a single mistake is not fatal. Opportunities in the crypto market are always abundant; what is lacking is the capital to buy the dip. A single mistake? No problem, you're still alive. But if you go all in on one bet, then no matter how good the next opportunity is, it won't matter to you.

Wow, 500 bucks turned into 15000? This guy isn’t really trying to scam me, right... But thinking about it carefully, the key is that there was no All in, and being alive really gives you a chance.

500 bucks turning into 30 times? Just listen to it, I saw this kind of story in 2018 as well, and what happened later? The project party did a Rug Pull. The theory of diversification is not wrong, but those who can really survive are the ones who are not greedy. The problem is, how many new retail investors can resist?

Starting with 500 and earning 15,000? This guy is really steady, I’m just impressed by his diversified trading strategy. Unlike me, always going all in, losing everything when it goes wrong.

Really, I've seen too many people go all in and lose everything; living is much more important than making money.

This method of splitting positions is indeed reliable, but to be honest, most people can't execute it at all; they get itchy hands.
---
Turning 500 into 30 times? This guy either got incredibly lucky or really figured it out.
---
The logic of keeping some funds aside is brilliant; you need some bullets for the next round of buying the dip.
---
"Not stable" really hits home; I was too greedy for that 2% fluctuation, and ended up being reverse smashed.
---
Splitting positions sounds simple, but when you actually do it, you'll know what a mental explosion feels like.
---
Words from 8 years of experience still carry weight; however, opportunities in the crypto world are indeed never lacking, what's lacking is surviving to that moment.
---
This methodology seems to just disperse the risk; it sounds plain but seems to truly be the most stable.
Survival is the first rule of the crypto market.
