Cryptocurrency Survival Manual: From 5000U to the Secret of 10x Compound Interest
Three months ago, a brother from Shenzhen came to me when his account had only 5000U left, and he was on the verge of collapse. I directly poured cold water on him: "Don't think about getting rich quickly, let's talk about steadily tripling your money first." He gritted his teeth and executed my advice. On the seventh day, he caught a wave of BTC correction and made 9800U in a single day, messaging me: "Finally see the hope of survival."
Three Key Principles for Position Adjustment: Position, Stop Loss, Rhythm
Retail investors often treat technical analysis as a holy grail but end up failing due to three major pitfalls: "heavy betting, chasing highs and cutting losses, and gambling on rebounds"—betting on altcoins with 10x leverage can lead to immediate liquidation on a single bearish candle. The real methods for survival boil down to three core principles:
1. Position Control: Use Profits as Ammunition
The first trade should not exceed 15% of the capital (750U max investment from 5000U). For the first three days, use 1000U as capital, keeping each trade under 150U, focusing solely on BTC corrections, and withdrawing after making 3%-5%. On the fourth day, when ETH rebounded, he increased his position with the 200U profit, setting a stop loss, and took profits at 8%. By the seventh day, he had withdrawn 3000U of his original capital, with the remaining profits rolling into SOL, and during the main uptrend, he nearly multiplied his investment by 10 times.
2. Take Profit and Stop Loss: Withdraw Principal at 5% Profit, Cut Losses at 3%
Treat your account like a piggy bank: every time you make 5%, withdraw the principal and continue to play with the profits. If you lose 3%, close the position immediately, never entertain the fantasy of "waiting a bit more." This brother was able to double his position on the seventh day precisely because he strictly followed the rule of "cutting losses at 3%," avoiding deep losses.
3. Rhythm Control: Only Play with Mainstream Coins, Use Small Coins as Hedge
BTC and ETH are the main themes of the battlefield, while small coins should only be used to hedge risks, never heavily invested. The biggest mistake retail investors make is using large amounts to bet on small coins while playing mainstream coins with small amounts.
Lastly, a sincere word
Whether you believe me or not is not important; what matters is whether you believe in "taking profits." That will determine whether you can survive. Those who criticize me are still gambling on altcoins with 10x leverage; those who follow my advice have already ingrained the word "stability" into their trading. The cryptocurrency market is not a casino; it's a battlefield where a group of people steps in rhythm.

Remember: The cryptocurrency market is never short of wealth myths, but it lacks the execution power that engrains "not greedy, not anxious, not chaotic" into the bones. The method is simple; the difficult part is the persistence day after day.
