Is it impossible for small funds to make a difference in the crypto world? Not necessarily.



Recently, I saw a case: someone started trading with 1000 USDT and achieved 15,000 USDT in less than 30 days. It’s not luck, not catching a super market trend, but pure execution.

But why do most people lose money with small funds? There are three main pitfalls:

1. Going all-in at once, getting eliminated after one mistake. Wanting to run after making some profit, only to watch the market move up while you can’t get on the train. Frequently changing strategies, constantly stop-lossing in consolidation phases—simply put, it’s not the market that loses, but your greed and impulsiveness.

The key is actually very simple: position management plus rhythm control.

How to do it? Taking 1000 USDT as an example:

**Try small positions first, don’t go all-in.** Divide the principal into 5-10 parts, and only use one part each time#数字资产动态追踪 for example, 200 USDT( to open a position. Even if you’re wrong, it won’t hurt the core.

**Add positions only after making profits.** Once the first trade is profitable, cautiously add some of the profit—use the market’s money to make money in the market, keeping the initial principal always safe.

**Take profits periodically.** When the account doubles? Withdraw some to your wallet. No matter how the market moves afterward, that portion is already yours.

The friend who started with 800 USDT did it this way: small position start → slowly add after profits → withdraw regularly → finally, the account steadily grew to 19,000 USDT. The process isn’t fancy, just repeating correct actions.

Why do many people fail? It’s often not the method, but the lack of disciplined execution.

The biggest test in crypto isn’t whether you can get rich quickly, but whether you can survive long enough. Those still trading have often already beaten those who once ran the fastest.

To be honest, the hardest part is sticking to this strategy. I've seen too many people verbally agree with position sizing, but then turn around and go all-in.

Basically, it's a mindset issue; most people simply can't control their own hands.

That's right, discipline is the key, most people fail because of greed.

The core is to live long; greed kills quickly. --- Honestly, I've been using this position-splitting method for a while, but execution is the hard part. --- 1000U multiplied by 15 times? That's a joke. How much luck would that take? --- Where are all the people who go all-in and gamble everything now? I want to know. --- The last sentence hits the point—those who get rich quickly have all disappeared. --- The most difficult step is withdrawal; once you've made money, you’re reluctant to cash out. --- It looks simple, but the real challenge is maintaining discipline. --- The fun part of the crypto world—those with patience win, while the impatient all die. --- I've heard the advice to split into 5-10 parts too many times, but some people still go all-in.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Those who go all-in with a single shot are often trying to get rich overnight, but in reality, they tend to die the fastest. I've seen too many cases like this.
