Breaking out of the crypto world doesn't rely on luck. What does it rely on? Eight years of real trading experience tell me, the answer is four words: discipline and compound interest.
These years of daily liquidation and sleepless nights have finally been endured. Now, my trading income is enough to support my family, and by 2025, my account has grown 50 times — if I hadn't used full funds to buy two houses along the way, this multiplier could be even higher. But that’s not luck; it’s ironclad discipline built on blood losses.
**Why are small funds more prone to mistakes?**
Because they’re afraid to act, or they push all in at once. I’ve seen too many people get anxious with just a few thousand dollars in front of the screen, often chasing highs or getting trapped. The smaller the principal, the more precise your moves need to be.
**How to play?**
Start with a capital of 800U or 2000U, with one-third of the position — this is not conservative, it’s responsible for yourself. Don’t touch the market without clear signals; forget about bottom-fishing or holding through dips, that’s basically giving away money. Enter only when the trend starts, taking the first sip of soup. When it pulls back, take the second. In a sustained trend, catch the third wave. When there’s volatility, just shut down and wait for the next rally.
**How to roll profits?**
Once you make 100U, treat this as new principal to snowball. This way, your position can gradually grow, but there’s a ceiling — never exceed 30% of the original principal. Stop-loss to lock in losses, let profits run, emotions are useless here.
**The cruelest truth is:**
While others are frantically chasing highs, I’m quietly retreating. When others are cutting losses and leaving, I’m decisively bottom-fishing. Turning a position around is never a gamble; it’s a castle built bit by bit with compound interest.
This trading method is designed for small funds — under capital constraints, the rhythm must be precise. In market cycles like the Fed’s rate cut expectations heating up or the widespread rise of privacy coins, those who understand this logic will steadily earn more than yesterday.

Sounds good, but it's easier said than done. Most people still can't control their hands.

It sounds very reasonable, but I still think most people can't stick to this discipline, including myself.
50x leverage is indeed impressive, but that part about buying a house feels a bit out of place. Is it hinting at taking profits in time or something else?
The key question is—can this logic really outperform in a bear market?

Sounds good, but I want to ask... how much of that 50x growth is inflated by house appreciation?

It sounds good, but how many people can truly stick to discipline? I'm the kind of fool who wants to go all in as soon as I make money.

You're absolutely right, small amounts really test discipline the most. I used to lose a lot because I didn't know how to manage my position size, going all-in and getting beaten badly. Now I'm much more stable.

Basically, it's just stubbornly sticking to the rules, but most people simply can't do it.
