The spring of ordinary people is in the crypto world.
Many people ask this question, and the subtext is: I started late, have no background, no capital, is there still an opportunity?
I can clearly tell you: Yes. But the prerequisite is that you know what you are doing.
I also started as a small retail investor with just a few thousand yuan, with no resources, no insider information, and no understanding of on-chain interactions, relying on exploration and practical experience to gradually find my way out.
Over the past few years, I've summarized a realistic rule:
For small funds to turn around, the path is very simple but not easy. There are only two strategies; don’t overthink it.
The first: Low-frequency high-win rate approach—find 10x coins and hold patiently.
It sounds like a joke, but it is a real path. The path looks something like this:
5000 → 50,000 → 500,000 → 5,000,000
You only need to make the right choices three times in a row to go from small funds to the edge of financial freedom.
The key point is—only take high-odds opportunities and hold:
Theme: New narratives are always the most imaginative. Old concepts have long been exhausted.
Position: The longer the bottom sideways movement, the stronger the breakout. Don’t chase high prices.
Consensus: Is anyone paying attention? Is there an active community that continues to build? Are there obvious signs of capital entering?
In terms of operation, set rules:
Triple your position, reduce by half.
When it increases by five times, lock in the cost.
Leave the remaining position for the trend.
Don’t chase, don’t be greedy, don’t change positions frequently. When you see the right opportunity, hold on and take enough profit.
The second: High-frequency small fluctuations—winning battles with discipline.
This method is suitable for those who don’t want to wait and don’t want to 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 capital for risk resistance.
Fast pace: Focus on 15 minutes to 4-hour cycles, resolve battles within the day.
Small stop-loss, high win rate: Stop-loss not exceeding 2%, take profit at 5-10% and exit.
What you need to do is not to double your money once, but to achieve stable profits weekly, roll over once a month, and multiply several times in six months.
The key is not how accurate you are, but to standardize your trading process, making “profit” a habit.
Finally, let’s be a bit realistic.
Making money in the crypto world essentially boils down to one thing:
Repeat the right things; don’t die in emotions, impulses, or stubbornness.
Whether 5000 yuan can double is not important.
What matters is—do you know which path you should choose, then take it step by step.
