There are too many 'get rich quick' stories in the crypto world; after hearing so many, you begin to feel it's unrealistic. But today, I want to tell the simplest story: how an ordinary person turned 1000U into 100,000U step by step.
Let's start with the conclusion: it’s not about luck, not about inside information, and not about so-called 'copy trading'. I rely on one thing: clear cognition + relentless execution.
01 | Starting from 1000U: I had no choice but to win.
At that time, I only had 1000U; to put it bluntly, it wasn’t the principal but a little 'dignity' left after several liquidations. You don’t understand what fear means until you see your account drop to 300U and still don’t dare to close the position, just because 'if I cut it, it will really be gone.'
During that time, I made up my mind to completely abandon the 'gambler's mindset'.
I told myself that from now on, I would no longer rely on guessing, no longer watch which KOL is shouting loudly, and no longer mess around with dozens of coins in a day. I set rules for myself:
Only trade logical and trending main coins.
Only trade structures and market conditions that I understand.
Only use profits to roll over funds, never run the principal naked.
02 | The first time I doubled my money was due to faith, not skill.
During that time, ETH took off from 1800, and institutional funds kept flowing into the main line. I analyzed a lot of data and on-chain movements, and placed a small position on an ETH contract, resulting in a double.
It's not about how much I earned, but that moment when I first correctly analyzed and made a decision on my own.
This feeling is completely different from making money by copying trades; you will feel like you are starting to understand this market and truly stepping onto the path of independent trading.
So I started to formulate a 'rolling fund plan': take half of the profits after each round to protect the principal, and use the remaining profits to chase the next trend.
From 1000U → 2000U → 4000U → 8000U → 16000U…
It may seem slow to you, but I have never made a 'all-in big win' once. Every time I doubled my money, it was backed by dozens of instances of waiting, filtering, monitoring, and emotional control.
03 | What truly creates a gap is not the market, but the ability to 'stay stable'.
When the market is good, anyone can make money. But did you know that 90% of people in the crypto world end up losing it back? Because they can't resist temptation, can't handle volatility, and can't control their emotions.
My biggest breakthrough was starting from earning 30,000U; for two whole months, I didn't make a single large bet.
I saw opportunities and was eager to act, but I knew clearly: if I returned to the gambler's pace now, the money I earned before was just the market 'borrowing for safekeeping', and it would soon be taken back.
I always tell myself one thing:
I'd rather be slow by 100 steps than go fast and face liquidation.
True winners are the ones who survive, not those who get rich the fastest.
04 | 100,000U is the process, not the end.
When my account broke 100,000U, I wasn't overly excited. Because on this journey, I had long understood a principle:
Money is not made by doubling overnight; it is the rewards the market naturally gives you after making right decisions time and time again.
This is not the end. Nor is it a boast. Because I know many people are still struggling, possibly facing liquidation, anxiety, and self-doubt.
But please remember:
It’s not that you can’t do it; you just haven’t walked the winding paths I've walked.
Your current 1000U is not small; it is the spark for your comeback.
Don't underestimate small funds, and don’t expect to turn around overnight.
In this market, real miracles come from countless calm analyses, decisive executions, and diligent reviews.
I came this far to tell you:
As long as you are willing to change, willing to learn, and willing to endure—you can also go from 1000U to 100,000U, or even more.
