Lately, a lot of people have been DMing me, asking: How did you turn ten thousand principal into a hundred thousand?



Honestly, there’s nothing mysterious about it. It wasn’t insider info, and it wasn’t all-in on some random altcoin hoping to get lucky. It was just steady, step-by-step growth, trade by trade.

I know a lot of people with 10k USDT all think: catch some news, chase some hype, bet on a double.

I used to do that too. And what happened? Liquidation, burnout, account wiped out—I experienced all three.

Later, I figured out one thing—

If you want to survive in crypto, it’s not about luck or going all-in. It’s about slowly growing your principal with small profits.

In less than a month, I grew from 10k to 100k. Not once did I make a reckless bet that got my heart racing; I played by the rules the whole way.

The core of this strategy is one sentence: Small wins add up to big wins; stable profits let the snowball roll.

The goal I set for myself is simple: make 3% to 5% a day, that’s enough.

Doesn’t sound like much, right? But if you keep it rolling, the power of compounding will surprise you.

Why can I maintain a stable win rate? Three principles, none optional:

**First: Follow the trend, don’t fight the market**

In an uptrend, I wait for a pullback to enter; in a downtrend, I never try to catch a falling knife. I don’t chase tops, I don’t bottom fish, I just take the juiciest part of the move.

**Second: Position sizing is more important than market direction**

I never use more than half my principal per trade. If I’m wrong, I’ve got room to maneuver; if I’m right, I add to the position with profits—my principal always stays protected.

**Third: Take profits when you have them, don’t get greedy for the last bite**

One or two trades a day is enough. Once I’ve made my money, I shut the computer. There are opportunities every day, but if you lose control even once, you might never recover.

After each day’s close, I always review my trades. I write down my mistakes so I don’t repeat them.

These methods seem simple, but the key is whether you can stick to them.

Here’s how my account grew:

10k → 17k → 32k → 60k → 100k+

There’s no legendary story here, just repeating the right thing over and over.

A lot of people ask me: How do you know when the market is about to move? How do you find entry points and set take profits? What signals do you look at?

Honestly, reading the market isn’t hard; the hard part is whether you’re willing to follow the rules.

Crypto is never short on opportunities—what’s lacking is discipline and patience. If you really want to grow your account steadily, safely, and big, carve these three principles into your mind. The rest is just execution and consistency.

Basically, this is the story of compound interest, but what percentage of people can actually execute it? Most people, after hearing it, still chase that illusory tenfold, until they get margin called.

What you said is absolutely right, it's just that sticking with it is too difficult. Most people fail because of their mindset.

That's right, but how many people can actually stick to this? For most, it's still a mindset issue.

Earning 3-5% per day sounds simple, but most people can't even stick with it for a week... That's the real barrier.

Sounds nice, but basically it just means as long as you don't die.
