### **From $10 to $1,000: The Journey of Patient Profit**
Raj, a college student from India, had only **$10 USDT** left after paying for his internet and food. Fascinated by crypto but short on funds, he made a promise: *"I won’t gamble. I’ll grow this money slowly, smartly."*
Instead of chasing quick pumps, Raj focused on **spot trading** and **scalping** low-cap coins during quiet hours. He used **15-minute charts**, **RSI**, and **support/resistance** levels. His golden rule? *“Only trade when the odds are clear, and always protect your capital.”*
His steps were simple:
- **He waited for dips near strong support.**
- **Entered with small amounts ($2–$3 trades).**
- **Used 1:2 risk-reward setups.**
- **Took profit consistently and never overtraded.**
It took him **9 months**.
He failed at times. Sometimes his $10 shrank to $7, but he stayed disciplined. He never used leverage. Slowly, his trades stacked up: $10 to $20… then $50… then $200. By month 6, his consistency brought him to **$500**. He reinvested profits in **solid long-term coins (like $ETH and $SOL )** during corrections.
Finally, after months of patience, Raj checked his balance one morning: **$1,002.13 USDT**.
He smiled—not because of the money, but because he proved to himself that with **discipline, patience, and strategy**, even $10 could become a fortune.
