From 20,000 to 8 million, I only did one thing right: survive
If your account currently has only a few thousand or tens of thousands and you’re unsure if you can turn things around,
please take the time to read this carefully. Starting capital: 20,000 yuan, not much confidence
In 2019, I was just a worker with a monthly salary of 4,000, saved for two years, and put in 20,000 yuan to start.
How did I start? Chasing highs, averaging down, holding on, listening to news, following others, emotional trading... sound familiar? Soon, 20,000 turned into 8,000.
At that time, I really wanted to give up, but after being scared of losses, I suddenly realized one thing:
"Stop thinking about making money; focus on surviving first."
Step 1: Learn to be "stable"; I started doing one thing: diversifying and rolling over my investments.
✅ Use only 20%-30% of total capital at a time
✅ Set clear stop-losses, cut losses at 5%
✅ If profits exceed 20%, immediately reduce position to lock in profits
While others were going all-in recklessly, I made one or two trades a day, earning a hundred or a few hundred U, slowly rolling it over.
Step 2: The logic of rolling over investments; I’m not a naturally gifted trader, my strategy is very basic:
Earned → Withdraw a portion of the profits, keep the remaining profits rolling, do not add to losing positions, do not fight against the trend
And just like that: 20,000 → 30,000 → 50,000 → 80,000 → 120,000 → 200,000 → 500,000 → … all the way up.
Step 3: Capture major market movements, eat key profit segments; the real leap was during several market cycles from 2021-2023:
BTC breaking historical highs, ETH showing positive signals in Cancun, several major spikes and dips
I didn’t go all-in, but during every market cycle, I took "big bites" within my account's capacity.
Final summary: From 20,000 to 8 million, it took me over four years,
it wasn't about getting rich overnight, but rather a rhythm of "small losses + small gains + occasional big gains" in rolling over investments.
✅ During the period of small funds, don’t think about doubling and tripling
✅ First, ensure your account's net value is increasing daily
✅ Manage your positions well, don’t go bust
✅ Then, wait for the market that belongs to you
Many of my current followers also have small funds, but as long as they follow the rhythm steadily,
they are slowly increasing. If you’re also feeling lost, trading randomly, and lacking rhythm,
the crypto world isn’t impossible to turn around; many just fail before they even get the chance.
