Many people ask this question, the underlying implication is: I started late, have no background, no capital, is there still a chance?
I can tell you clearly: Yes. But the premise is that you know what you are doing.
I also started as a small retail investor with just a few thousand, no resources, no insider info, and no understanding of on-chain interactions, relying on exploration and practice to gradually find my way.
After these years, I have summarized a realistic rule:
For small funds to turn around, the path is simple, but not easy. There are just two strategies, don’t overthink it.
First type: Low frequency high win rate strategy - find 10x coins and hold patiently
It sounds like a joke, but it’s a real path. The path looks like this:
5000 → 50,000 → 500,000 → 5,000,000
You only need to make three correct choices continuously to go from small funds to the edge of financial freedom.
The key point is - only take high-odds opportunities and hold on:
Themes: New narratives are always the most imaginative. Old concepts have long been overdrawn.
Position: The longer the bottom consolidation lasts, the stronger the explosive power. Don’t chase highs.
Consensus: Is anyone paying attention? Is there an active community, continuous construction? Are there obvious traces of capital entering?
In operation, set the rules:
Take profits at 3x and cut positions in half
Lock in costs with a 5x increase
Leave the remaining positions for trends
Don’t chase, don’t be greedy, don’t switch frequently. When you see the right opportunity, take it and earn enough profit at once.
Second method: High-frequency small fluctuations rolling positions - win battles with discipline
This method is suitable for those who don’t want to wait or gamble on big trends.
I have helped many people start with this model, the principle is very simple:
Light positions: Control each order within 10% of total positions for risk resistance
Fast pace: Focus on 15 minutes to 4 hours cycles, resolve battles within the day
Small stop loss, high win rate: Stop loss not exceeding 2%, take profits at 5-10% and exit
What you need to do is not to double once, but to earn steadily every week, roll positions once a month, and multiply several times in six months.
The key is not how accurate you are, but to standardize your trading process so that 'making money' becomes a habit.
Lastly, let me say something realistic
Making money in the crypto space can be summarized in one sentence:
Repeat the right things, don’t perish in emotions, impulses, or unwillingness.
Whether 5000 can double is not important
What’s important is - do you know which path to choose, and then take it step by step.
Don’t just focus on others’ stories of getting rich
They are simply a few steps ahead of you
They have just completed the path of '10x' three times
What about you? Are you just starting, or haven’t you begun yet?
