Having been in the circle for so long, I’ve found that many people start out with the same dream – doubling their money, getting rich quickly, going all in. But the path I took is completely different, and the core principle is just one word: stability.

In half a month, 1000U turned into 20,000U. It's not that my luck is off the charts, but rather that every step I took was cautious enough. I've never considered myself a gambler; I'm more like a scout defusing mines in a minefield, taking one step at a time.

**Step 1: Surviving is more important than anything else**

When I got 1000U, most people's first reaction is to look for a "10x coin." But the first thing I did was to divide the principal into 5 parts, each part being 200U:

A trial-and-error approach that only involves logic one can understand.
Follow the institutional funds, choose mature projects, and directly pass on new offerings.
A strategy of swing trading, buying low and selling high.
A hedge that serves as a defense line when the market is not good.
The last one is left untouched and stored long-term.

In the past few days, I basically haven't made much profit, but the key point is - I haven't lost. If you don't lose, you have the chips for the next round.

**Step 2: Wait for the main upward wave, strike at the right moment**

The real opportunity came from the ETH market around 2500. I preemptively positioned myself in the daily chip concentration zone, and after a three consecutive bullish candles, I exited directly, securing a single trade profit of 4 times.

The most important thing is that I didn't go all in, only adjusting two layers of positions. Not being greedy and not losing control is the key to surviving until the end.

**Step Three: Compound Interest Snowball, Rely on Discipline Not on Courage**

After my principal reaches 5000U, I start to moderately increase my position. I also use leverage, but I will only ever move 30%, while the rest is defensive capital.

Stay grounded when making money, and don't panic during pullbacks. Enter with logic, and exit with rules. It's not about being bold, but about having the right rhythm.

This set of tactics is not mysterious, just four words—cognition, rhythm, execution, repetition. No insider information is needed, no heavy bets are required, just solidify the basics.

If you only have 1000U in starting capital right now, don't rush to get rich overnight. First, learn not to lose money, survive, and then enjoy the first wave of dividends. The real difference is often not who makes money quickly, but who lasts the longest.
