Don't be fooled by the five-figure account now; I started with just 2000U, nervously trying out trades as a retail investor. I had no teachers, no groups, and relied entirely on myself, experimenting, stumbling, and summarizing my experiences to gradually find my way. Today, I'm sharing this experience to give you some direction as you work hard.

Step one: just survive.

2000U is not a lot, nor is it too little. If you were to go all in, a few fluctuations could wipe it out to zero.

So my first step was not to think about making a fortune, but rather to first survive.

  • Control each trade within 20% of the total position;

  • Avoid high-leverage contracts, don't gamble on rebounds, just go with the trend;

  • Cut losses promptly when making mistakes to avoid continuous losses;

In this phase, the earnings aren't much, but the account has stabilized, and confidence has begun to build.

Step two: choosing the right direction is more important than hard work.

Many people trade diligently, almost every day, but they just can't make money.

Later, I realized that what truly drives account growth is not frequency, but whether you have chosen the main line correctly.

During that time, ETH started a strong rally, and I began to layout my strategy around the Ethereum ecosystem, focusing on those coins with strong follow-through and decent fundamentals, like LDO, AAVE, and UNI.

Only trade what you're familiar with, only follow trends, don't guess the top, don't gamble on the bottom.

In this way, I rode a wave of market movement, and the account grew from 2000U to over 10,000.

Step three: doubling relies on rhythm, explosion relies on heavy investment.

When you choose the right direction, the rest is about the rhythm.

My real breakout was during an ETH pullback to the support level. I decisively went all in on a long position, and also entered with small positions in LDO and ENS, resulting in a doubling of my profits in a week.

The account directly broke through 20,000U, and at that moment, I truly felt:

True wealth growth relies on heavy investments based on understanding, not on frequent small gains and losses.

Step four: from earning to preserving, then from preserving to expanding.

During this phase, emotions are the easiest to collapse, and after making money, maintaining the right mindset becomes challenging.

I forced myself to reduce frequency, slow down the rhythm, and only act in markets where I had confidence.

I tell myself: being able to earn is a skill, but being able to hold is an even greater ability.

Ultimately, moving from 20,000U to 50,000U, not a single day was based on luck; it was all about strategy + risk control + execution.

To summarize:

From 2000U to 50,000U, the core principle is just four words: see clearly, hold firmly.

Don't think there will be opportunities every day, and don't fantasize about getting rich overnight. First, survive, then choose the right direction, and finally hold the position along with the trend, and the money will come naturally.

This market is never short of opportunities; what's lacking are those who can maintain their mindset and recognize the direction.
