Recently, an old follower suddenly reached out to me: "My account just broke through 38,000!" I stared at the number for a few seconds—I still remember three months ago when this guy was asking around with just 600 bucks on hand, trembling at every move.

Having been in the crypto world for so long, I've heard plenty of stories about getting rich overnight, but more often than not, there's the tragedy of losing everything and hitting zero. This time was different—he didn't rely on insider info or black-tech indicators; he simply allocated his limited capital to the right places.

Honestly, this approach might be more practical than all the strategies you've seen.

**Why is it so easy to get wrecked in the crypto world?**

Most newcomers to the scene think they can double their money in a day, but the market keeps teaching harsh lessons. Trading nonstop 24/7, a 20% drop is just an ordinary day. If you go all-in, a small dip can seriously hurt you. Even more brutal are those meme coins—when they fall, they do so without mercy, and they can trap you instantly.

The biggest self-deception in crypto is: "I can definitely read the market right." There are plenty of analysts around, talking eloquently about theories, but their actual trading results are disastrous. To survive in this market, admitting you don’t understand is a hundred times more important than pretending to be smart.

**How can you survive longer?**

That guy’s secret is simple—divide 600 bucks into three parts, each with different tasks and rules. It’s not a new idea, but few actually follow through. Most people either go all-in or randomly trade, never thinking about leaving themselves a backup plan.
