Many beginners just entered the market, their minds filled with dreams of doubling their wealth overnight, and they go all in at the first chance. I’ve also gone through this stage, but after seeing too many people wipe out their accounts in a single night, I finally understand a principle: in this market, surviving long enough is much more realistic than getting rich quickly.



Let me share a real experience of my own. Last month, I started with 1000U and took half a month to grow my account to 20,000U. There’s no secret code, no following any calling KOLs, and luck isn’t a big factor either—it's just about sticking to a core idea: making "stability" a part of every operation step. Today, I’ll break down this method, hoping it can serve as a reference for those still exploring.

**Key Step: Diversify First, Then Strike**

With 1000U, most people’s first reaction is to find a "ten-bagger" coin and go all in. My logic is completely opposite: I need to think carefully about how to allocate this money to ensure that even if one direction goes wrong, the account won’t be wiped out.

I split the 1000U into five parts, each 200U, with different responsibilities:

*Probing Position* — Only trade on technical analysis I truly understand, refuse to open positions based on intuition
*Following Trend Position* — Select mainstream coins with solid fundamentals, pass on new coins launched less than a month ago
*Swing Position* — Buy at key support levels during dips, sell in batches during rebounds, never greedily chase the last bit of profit
*Risk Management Position* — When the market shows abnormal signals, this money acts as insurance claims
*Safe Harbor Position* — Strictly locked, reserved only for projects capable of crossing cycles

A few days ago, the account was relatively stable, occasionally making small profits. But the most important thing is—no losses. In the crypto world, breaking even is already the best start. Surviving is the prerequisite for future opportunities to profit.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it's just too hard to execute, and most people are still greedy.

Sounds good, but 1000u to 20000u in half a month? I feel a bit skeptical. Put real money out there and see, don’t just talk about theories. Diversifying your holdings is correct, but the key is to hit one or two explosive points— that's the real skill. The market is so competitive right now, do you really think you can survive with your approach? Let’s wait for the bear market. Capital preservation is very difficult, buddy. Don’t believe me? Just look at my account.

Honestly, the strategy of dividing into five positions has long bored me. The key is whether you can stick with it, right? It's somewhat effective, but I've never dared to truly lock in the main position; I always end up cutting losses. This is the crypto world—staying alive is much harder than making money. I remember my account also died this way—too greedy, and in the end, nothing. Capital preservation mindset really saves lives; it's much more reliable than any tenfold coin. I just want to know how you use your risk position; is it really just for show? Starting with five portions of $200 is indeed stable, but when the market goes crazy, no one can hold on.

The desire to survive is more valuable than greed, and this statement is truly correct.

It's true, but being able to achieve 20 times with just 1000U... Is luck really not a big factor? The more I hear, the more it sounds like a story session.

Oh dear, it's the same decentralized layout theory again. I've heard it too many times. The problem is that most people simply can't do it. A 20x return sounds impressive, but can that swing trade really be reliably replicated? I'd like to see it happen. The capital preservation mindset is fine, but I'm just worried that someone will go all-in on new coins again.
