Don't remind me again today

In this market, the most magical scene is: a bunch of people coming in with hundreds or thousands of U, their eyes filled with the fierce determination of "if it doesn't double today, don't expect me to leave."



Then what? The money hasn't increased, but the person has collapsed first.

To be honest, when you have a small capital in this industry, the biggest fear is competing against yourself. I used to do this too, thinking that I could rewrite my destiny with an All in, but later I realized - it's not that easy to change one's fate.

I met a guy who started with 1500U, which seems pitiful, right? But this person is so steady that I admire him.

Others get itchy hands at the slightest market movement, but he's doing well, pretending to be poor to the end, refusing to take action no matter what. When the opportunity arises? Hey, it's like a cat catching a mouse, he pounces right away.

Four months later, the account had over 30k U lying there. This is not luck; it's because he treated every single penny as a treasure.

His way of playing looks "cheap," but the less money you have, the more you have to do it this way: practice with the smallest position, take off when you make a little profit, run immediately when you lose, and don't give yourself a chance to get too into it. Face? What’s that worth?

In a real bull market, there are only a few instances a year; he calls it a "shotgun position" — holding out for an entire year just to pull the trigger a few times. That's how it was tough to endure.

The most extreme thing is that he directly locked 500U, not even allowing himself to touch it. Can that little money save your life? Yes, at least it ensures that you won't gamble away your last chance to turn things around.

Really, when playing with small funds in cryptocurrency, the biggest enemy is impulsiveness.

The more anxious you are to turn things around, the less likely you are to succeed; the more you desire to get rich overnight, the more likely you are to suffer a fatal blow. The market doesn't feed you meat every day; most of the time, it just waits for you to get greedy and send your money.

You have to endure. Endure until others are impatient, endure until others are liquidating and cursing, endure until others say you "are too timid, right" — then you will win.

Stop dreaming about becoming a god through a wave of huge profits. Want to turn things around? Those methods that seem incredibly foolish are actually the most stable and ruthless.

As long as you can control your hands, the crypto world is actually much friendlier than you think.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, it's just that too many people won't listen. Those friends of mine who shout about doubling every day are now all silent. Really, the hardest part is doing nothing and still getting scolded for being timid. Playing with small amounts slowly is better than anything else. I feel like those who are still all in right now will probably disappear in three months. I understand this logic, but executing it can really drive a person crazy. So, the cruelest part of the crypto world isn't losing money, it's watching opportunities come but having no bullets left. To be serious, locking up that 500U is the smartest move. Retaining the chance to turn things around is worth more than anything else.

This guy is right, it's just hard to control yourself. When you see a rise, you want to go all in; when you see a fall, you want to buy the dip; in the end, the account just becomes a cash machine. Endurance is really the hardest, especially when you see others making money. Locking 500U at the end is brilliant, you have to leave yourself an escape route. It sounds simple, but in practice, nine and a half out of ten people falter halfway. This is the truth of the crypto world, there's no magic, it's just about who can hold back better.

You're absolutely right, this is a perfect imbalance of the supply and demand curve—too many people are flooding in with irrational expectations, and the market starts to play people for suckers. From an economic perspective, the emotional fluctuations of small funds are a precursor to liquidity exhaustion. That guy's "shotgun position" strategy is actually practicing the principles of Risk Management in modern portfolio theory; he just hasn't wrapped it in complicated terminology. The true aesthetics of a bull run lie in knowing when to pull the trigger and when to play dead.
