Many friends who just entered the crypto world often think about flipping quickly, but the result is usually a complete loss. However, I have seen real cases where starting with 1500U, they reached 19,000U in four months, and in half a year, they hit 35,000U. Their secret to success is not luck, but a strict discipline and enough patience.

**Step 1: Staying Alive Is More Important Than Making Money**

When the principal is small, it's easiest to lose your mind. If you only have 3000U and keep hoping to turn it around in one shot, the final result is often to be eliminated. The smart approach is to split the money into three parts and leave a safety net.

My plan is like this: 500U for day trading, focusing only on Bitcoin and Ethereum, quick in and out; another 500U for swing trading, waiting for a clear trend before acting, avoiding chasing highs or bottom-fishing; the remaining amount is frozen as "life-saving money." Even if the market halves, don’t touch this part—that’s your seed for later recovery.

Why split it this way? Because the crypto market is too volatile. Full positions can be wiped out in one go; those who survive are those who have planned their exit routes in advance.

**Step 2: Not Every Opportunity Is Worth Grabbing**

Most of the time, the market oscillates at low levels, and true trending markets are rare. The biggest trap for small funds isn’t missing opportunities but being repeatedly harvested during oscillations.

Instead of blindly acting, it’s better to learn to wait. Wait for what? Wait for the trend to be confirmed. Once the daily trend is established, you can eat the middle part of the "fish," but don’t go for the head or tail—that’s the play of experts.

**Step 3: Discipline Is More Valuable Than Talent**

Sticking to this method is really difficult because you will miss many opportunities that seem to be about to take off. But it’s this restraint of "missing out" that allows those who survive to finally win. Follow the rules every time; over four months, half a year, or a year, the power of compound interest will show.
