If I was starting with $1K – $3K in crypto right now, here’s exactly how I’d run it up 👇

1️⃣ Master your IRL budget before you touch crypto

Every dollar needs a job. Cut waste ruthlessly. The less pressure you put on your crypto stack, the better your decisions will be. Saving takes time, building wealth takes longer. Accept it.

2️⃣ Get a stable income

You can’t live off a $1K stack. A job = consistent cashflow = more firepower to buy dips & hold positions without panic selling or missing trends.

3️⃣ Treat capital as scarce

The more precious you see your stack, the more disciplined you’ll be. Scarcity mindset is what made me the most money this cycle.

4️⃣ Crypto-specific execution

Stay liquid, opportunities are everywhere, but timing is everything. Never overweight your portfolio in one asset. Take more risks early on, but cut FAST if your thesis breaks.

Avoid chasing trends, by the time it’s 'hot', you’re often exit liquidity. Manage risk like your life depends on it, because in crypto, your capital does.

The game isn’t about going all-in once. It’s about staying alive long enough to catch the trends that change your life.
