Is trading cryptocurrencies a way to get rich?
What is getting rich? Getting rich is relative.
Turning 100,000 into 1,000,000, some feel they've gotten rich, while people in Shanghai might scoff, saying 1,000,000 can only buy a decent toilet in Shanghai.
Turning 1,000,000 into 10,000,000, in Shanghai you can buy three bedrooms and two living rooms, which counts as a 'normal citizen'.
Therefore, getting rich is relative, relative to your principal. If the principal is small, no matter how large the profit, the absolute value is still insufficient. Only scale can produce benefits.
To trade and survive long-term, investment risks and any possible occurrences must be considered. The core of leveraged trading is to gradually increase positions when in profit and to gradually decrease positions when in loss, minimizing losses; this is the essence of trading!
In April 2025, I achieved a profit of 120,000 U with this strategy, with a win rate of up to 78%! This is not metaphysics, but a leveraged weapon built with mathematical formulas and discipline. From 500 U to 50,000 U, you only need to master three stages of counterintuitive operations:
1. Startup phase (500 U → 2000 U): Use '10% position + 10x leverage' to nibble on newly launched coins.
Core logic: Treat 500 U as 50 U to spend, with a single opening position not exceeding 10% of the principal, using 'trial and error costs' for 'violent explosions'.
Practical case: In August 2025, when HTX launched BOT, I opened a position of 50 U (10% position) with 10x leverage (equivalent to 500 U position), bottoming out when the coin price dropped by 15%. Within 3 hours, the coin price rebounded by 30%, yielding a profit of 150 U. Through 8 repeated operations (each time immediately withdrawing the principal), I ultimately rolled the position to 2100 U, achieving a total return of 320%.
Deadly details:
Must set dynamic profit-taking: When profits reach 20%, immediately move the stop loss to the cost line to ensure no loss of principal.
Only trade new coins with a depth > 10 million U: Someone once had 300 U fully invested in MEME coins, and within an hour due to insufficient liquidity, they were liquidated and owed 200 U.
2. Explosion phase (2000 U → 10,000 U): Switch to '20% position + 5x leverage' to chase whale hotspots.
Core logic: Use 'whale movements + on-chain data' to lock in high-odds opportunities, amplifying trend profits with 5x leverage.
Practical case: In September 2025, when DeFi 2.0 leader FLX went live, I monitored through Nansen that a whale address transferred 5 million U in one day, immediately opening a 400 U position (20% position) with 5x leverage (equivalent to 2000 U position). Set 5% stop loss (loss of 20 U) and 15% profit-taking (profit of 60 U), within 3 days the coin price soared by 40%, a single profit of 1600 U, rolling position to 3700 U.
Violent techniques:
Immediately move the stop loss to the cost line after a 10% profit: When FLX rises to 1.1 times, move the stop loss from 5% to 0%, ensuring that the principal is absolutely safe in subsequent market conditions.
Only take action when BTC stabilizes at 68,000 U: When the market is stable, the probability of explosive hot coins increases 3 times, avoiding blind chasing in a bear market.
3. Ultimate phase (10,000 U → 50,000 U): 'Hedging + laddered rolling' to prevent black swans.
Core logic: Build an offense and defense system with '30% spot + 70% contracts', laddered increasing positions to amplify profits.
Operational steps:
30% anti-dip anchor: After 10,000 U is credited, immediately use 3000 U to buy BTC spot, as a 'safety cushion' to hedge market risks.
70% laddered opening: Split 7000 U into 7 orders, each order 1000 U to open ETH perpetual contracts (2x leverage = 2000 U position). Set a 3% stop loss (loss of 30 U) and 5% profit-taking (profit of 50 U), and 4 of the 7 orders must be profitable to break through 20,000 U.
Dynamic risk control: When total asset drawdown exceeds 15% (e.g., from 30,000 to 25,500), immediately close 60%, only restarting when the '20% profit protection line' is triggered.
Deadly details:
Withdraw 30% of profits to cold wallet after profit: After each rolling profit, 30% of the profit must be converted into BTC and stored in a cold wallet to avoid profit withdrawal.
Use 'halving position method' to control risk: When total assets double to 20,000 U, lower the next position to 3500 U (50% of the original 7000 U) to avoid excessive risk exposure at high levels.
3 mathematical iron laws of violent rolling positions
Kelly formula optimized version:
Position ratio = (Win rate × Odds - Loss rate) / Odds
Example: If a certain strategy has a win rate of 60% and odds of 3 times (profit 30% / loss 10%), the best position is (0.6×3 - 0.4)/3 = 46.6%.
In practical operations, use the half-Kelly strategy (23.3% position) to control risk while retaining profit space.
Fixed risk percentage method:
Single opening position risk = Account balance × 1%
Example: 10,000 U account, single stop loss not exceeding 100 U. If a certain coin is currently priced at 10 U, and the stop loss is set at 3% (0.3 U), then the maximum opening position is 100 U / 0.3 U = 333 units.
Hedging formula:
Spot position = Total assets × 30%
Contract position = Total assets × 70% × (1 / Leverage ratio)
Example: 50,000 U account, opening ETH contract with 2x leverage, contract position = 50,000 × 70% × (1/2) = 17,500 U, spot position = 15,000 U, ensuring that total asset drawdown does not exceed 20% in extreme market conditions.
3 traps that 99% of people will fall into
Full position on new coins: Someone once invested 300 U fully in MEME coins, and within an hour due to insufficient liquidity, they were liquidated and owed 200 U.
Do not stop loss after a 15% decline: A trader added to their position when FLX fell 15%, ultimately losing all their principal and still owing 500 U.
Take small profits and run: When earning from 1000 U to 1500 U, withdraw 1200 U, missing the subsequent 10x explosion, ultimately earning only 300 U.
Three realms of stop loss: from surviving to making big money.
First realm: Acknowledge defeat — accepting stop loss is standard in trading, like wearing a bulletproof vest when going out.
Second realm: Quick knife — strike immediately without hesitation. During ETH's plunge, Liangxi closed a 50x leverage long position within 0.3 seconds to avoid liquidation.
Third realm: Guard hunting — it's more important to have a lower stop loss rate than to stop loss. During the BTC turbulence in 2025, I monitored whale movements through Nansen, only taking action 3 times with a win rate of 100%.
In the crypto world, 500 U is not the principal, but a ticket to leverage with discipline. When you can see 'whale capital flow' in a 15-minute K-line, capture 'trend reversal points' in on-chain data, and calculate 'certain income' in the position formula, the leap from 3000 to 300,000 is just a matter of time.
