#数字资产市场动态 There are often jokes like this in the square: After years in the crypto world, relying on a 'stupid method' to buy a house in a first-tier city, turning small funds into eight figures—every time I see these posts, fans ask me again: Is there really such a stable way to make money in the crypto circle?



Honestly, no. There is no such thing as a 'sure-win secret' in the crypto world. Those who treat individual success stories as universal rules or blindly copy others' results are essentially falling into the most common trap in crypto—a dangerous illusion.

So, how should small funds play in the crypto space? Honestly, there are three key points:

**First: Replace the idea of 'breaking even' with 'paying tuition to learn the market'**

If your principal is limited, don’t dream of getting rich overnight. Think of this money as tuition fees; the real goal is to survive a full market cycle with some of your principal intact. Use very small positions—for example, only 1-2% of your account per trade—to personally experience the pain of liquidation, the feeling of market pinning, and the fear when emotions spiral out of control. Record these practical experiences daily, and you’ll find that these insights are more impactful than any tutorial.

**Second: Learn the fund allocation method of 'no leverage' first**

Put the bulk of your funds into safe places—such as exchange spot accounts or stablecoin savings products—and only use the returns from these accounts to trade. What’s the benefit? Even if your trading strategy is poor, your principal remains there, slowly growing, and your mindset will change completely. You won’t be able to sleep because of a single loss anymore.

**Third: Let data speak, don’t gamble on feelings**

Before risking real money, do extensive manual backtesting—don’t be lazy, record each trade carefully. Write down the profit or loss, the market conditions at the time, and your psychological state. After two months of consistent testing, if your strategy’s win rate exceeds 55% and the maximum drawdown is within a manageable range, then it’s time to increase your position size. This process will help you eliminate many ineffective methods and save a significant amount of trial-and-error costs.

Ultimately, the primary goal for small funds in crypto isn’t 'winning,' but 'staying alive'—staying alive and 'understanding' how the market works and how your temperament affects decisions. When you understand the market pulse at the lowest cost, you won’t miss big opportunities when they come. Take it slow; in fact, small funds can move the fastest this way.

That's so true, I'm just worried that beginners won't listen.

Damn, it's that same old "pay tuition" argument again... but how should I put it, it does make some sense, huh

It sounds like treating stop-losses as just eating habits. --- I support the 1-2% position size; honestly, quite a few people go all-in right away. --- The mindset shift of paying tuition is crucial; at least it can improve sleep quality. --- 55% win rate and still two consecutive months? That's a bit harsh, but indeed reliable. --- To put it simply, don't gamble; either get out or stay out. --- The biggest advantage of small funds is that you can afford to lose, which actually allows you to survive until the big market moves.

Really, compared to those boastful success theories, I trust this practical approach more.

That's right, gambling based on intuition is just pure loss. --- Paying tuition fees does make sense; I've been doing that for a long time. --- Small funds shouldn't think about getting rich overnight; you need to stay alive. --- 1-2% position size, I need to learn this; I was too reckless before. --- Waiting two months with a 55% win rate before adding to the position? That's waiting for trouble to happen. --- There's no guaranteed secret to winning in the crypto world; it's all nonsense. Just staying alive is good enough. --- People who don't use leverage generally live the longest, no problem with that. --- Data speaks for itself; it sounds simple, but it takes a lot of perseverance to actually do it. --- Most of those stories about buying houses are probably just bragging; don't believe them. --- I haven't kept records of my trades, which is why I've been cutting losses all the time. I'm so regretful. --- Taking it slow can actually be the fastest way; I want to screenshot this and post it on my social media. --- Once your mindset changes, making money becomes possible. Before that, it was all emotional trading. --- Wait, does this mean most people have to lose money to make money?
