People entering the crypto world often share the same dream: getting rich overnight. But after years of market ups and downs, you'll realize that steadily doubling your investment is actually more challenging than a sudden surge.



I once mentored a fan who turned a $5,000 account into $130,000 in three months. No insider info, no fancy trading techniques. It all boiled down to two words: focus and compound interest.

At first, he was just like most people. When the market moved, he wanted to chase; when he heard about a coin with potential, he wanted to jump in. What was the result of this reckless approach? No profits, just a shattered mindset.

Later, I told him to do one thing: narrow his method to a rhythm that could be repeated consistently.

How to do it? Very simple—don't go all in at once. For example, with $100,000, split it into five or six parts. Only trade one part at a time, sticking to spot trading. When prices drop, add to your position as planned; when prices rise, take profits and lock in gains. Don't try to guess the top or bottom—just cycle through "sell on rise, buy on dip."

This rhythm may sound unexciting. But once you get into it, the speed of growth will be faster than you imagine. The most terrifying part of compound interest is precisely this: the calmer you are, the faster your account grows.

When the market goes up, you're earning. When it fluctuates, you're still rolling. Even if there's a sudden drop, you won't panic—because your positions are sufficiently diversified, and your mindset remains stable.

Looking back at this method, there's nothing profound about it. The only challenge is one thing: can you resist making impulsive moves? Back then, I used this seemingly simple but actually very stable approach to grow small funds.

If you're still confused now—uncertain about how to build positions, add to them, take profits, or whether to keep pushing—maybe we can have a chat. Don't rush to jump in. The market has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks is a rhythm that can keep you alive in the long run.

Sounds good, but essentially it's about patience and waiting. Most people just can't do it.

That's right, the key is not to get itchy. I used to be the kind to chase gains and sell on dips, turning five-figure amounts into three-figure sums... Now I understand that stable compound interest is way more satisfying than gambling recklessly.

Operate, I've never seen it so simple and straightforward. Rotating five or six positions, in other words, just not giving yourself the chance to shoot yourself in the foot. Much calmer than when I was farming airdrops back in the day, when I was randomly clicking on contract interactions. Looking back now, it was really brilliant. The key is mindset; those who can resist the urge to act are the true winners.

Really, I've seen too many liquidation events with tenfold leverage, and fewer and fewer people are steadily earning compound interest.
