Here's a candid truth—if your starting capital is still less than 2000U, then the most urgent task right now isn't thinking about how to double your money, but rather learning how not to get out of the game.
I've seen a case that left a deep impression. A friend started with 1000U and in two months, he made over 40,000. Throughout the process, he didn't get wiped out, and his mindset stayed stable. You ask him what he relied on? Luck? No. It was a set of seemingly simple, yet effective methods that allowed him to survive and finish the game.
**First bottom line: Money must be split up**
1000U shouldn't be put all in one basket. It should be divided into three parts—one for short-term trading, with at most one trade per day; another for swing trading, checking every ten days or half a month; and a third in the forbidden zone, where no matter how tempting the market, you don't touch it.
Here's a principle many people haven't understood: full position size is never bravery; it's just giving yourself away.
**Second key: Focus only on high-probability opportunities**
During consolidation? Don't trade. When the direction is unclear? Stay out and wait. Instead of gambling on uncertain price movements, save your bullets for truly confident trades. Markets present opportunities every day, but your principal is eroding daily—don't waste it.
**Third iron law: Set rules in stone, clear your mind**
Once you've set your stop-loss levels, don't change them. Small losses are normal; accept them. When your account shows clear profit, withdraw a portion of the funds first. Many can't do this—they always think they need to add to losing positions to recover, but that only deepens the trap. This is the fundamental reason most people can't turn their fortunes around.
Back to that friend's story. What happened later? His account surpassed 100,000. But more importantly, he no longer needs to stare at the screen or stay up all night. His life rhythm has completely changed.
To sum up in one sentence: only when your capital is alive can you talk about the dream of doubling. Diversify, pace yourself, and prioritize risk management. These may sound less exciting, but they can save you years of detours. In the crypto market, the fastest path to success is often to learn how to slow down first.
If you're tired of reckless trading and want to follow a steady, sustainable growth path—there are like-minded traders doing this and already achieving real results. There’s still a chance to get on board. If you want to join, don’t wait.

To be honest, most people who are fully invested haven't made it to the next bull market. This time, I really hear it the clearest.

Really, the biggest fear for small funds is thinking about going all-in and turning things around, only to accelerate your exit.
---
Splitting positions sounds simple, but sticking to it is the hard part. Most people just can't control themselves.
---
I've seen many people with full positions, and in the end, there are no good results. It's not courage, it's suicidal.
---
Living by rules is harder than making money by luck, but it's truly the only way to go far.
---
I just want to ask, how many people can really resist the temptation to add to their positions? 99% probably crash and burn.
---
For small money to double, first ask yourself if you can survive until that day.
---
The phrase "keeping the principal alive" really hit me. I didn't understand this a couple of years ago, and now I regret it so much I feel sick.
---
I've tried the idea of dividing into three parts; it's definitely more reliable than reckless operations. Now I see steady growth every month.
---
Wait, is that friend for real? 40 times in two months? That luck is just too outrageous.
---
Avoid trading during sideways markets, stay vague and still. It's correct to say so, but it's really tough to do. I feel itchy.

Wow, this is the pit I've been stepping into all along. Full position really is giving away profits. Now I finally understand.

Wow, this is something I only understood after these two years.
