Can ordinary investors make money in the crypto market? The answer depends on the strategy you choose.
Many people fall into a misconception: thinking that only large capital has profit potential. Actually, that's not true. The key is not how big your account is, but whether your approach is correct.
Take $100 as an example. To turn it into $1,000, there are two paths. One is all-in gambling, betting on a 10x increase. It sounds great in theory, but reality is often harsh—when the market reverses, you can lose everything instantly. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, and this kind of play essentially bets your principal on a gamble, with countless lessons already laid out.
What’s the other way? Using a rolling position strategy. This isn’t about chasing overnight riches, but about steadily growing your account through well-paced operations, keeping risk within manageable limits.
How exactly to do it? The logic is straightforward. First, break down your big goal: turning $100 into $300. It’s not about achieving it all at once, but through three rounds of operations, each aiming for a steady profit of $30-$50. After each round, lock in part of the profit, and let the remaining funds continue to roll over. This way, you can gradually accumulate wealth without being wiped out by a single market fluctuation.
This process may seem slow, like ants moving house, but the magic lies in compound growth. Small accounts can grow like a snowball through repeated rolling.
I’ve seen many friends start with just $200-$300, some even without stop-loss awareness, fearing to lose their only capital and holding on stubbornly. After teaching them this method, the change was quite noticeable. Setting clear stage goals, operating at key points, not only enhances psychological resilience, but also prevents a single fluctuation from causing a margin call, and through the power of compound interest, small funds can be amplified.
In practice, I do the same: maintaining a stable main position to generate basic returns and ensure account stability; using smaller positions to flexibly roll over and capture growth opportunities amid volatility. The combination of large and small positions disperses risk and strengthens the ability to withstand market fluctuations.
The core idea is this: don’t expect to double your money in one shot. Take it step by step; time and compound interest will give you the answer.

The rolling position strategy is indeed more reliable than all-in, but it’s the hardest to execute mentally.
In simple terms, you have to be patient; many people can't endure until the moment of compound interest.

That's right, rolling positions is indeed much more reliable than all-in.
The key is to have patience; not everyone can wait.
I'm also using this strategy, but it's easy to lose your composure when executing.

Rolling positions sounds good, but the problem is whether you can stick with it.
Really, most people still want to go all-in in one shot.
That's the reality, mindset is the hardest part.
So, does that mean small accounts are actually easier to succeed with? This logic is a bit counterintuitive.
Compound interest sounds like an advertising slogan, but it does make sense.
Earning steadily over three rounds... easier said than done, what if the market doesn't give you three rounds?
I just want to know how much to set for stop-loss, that's the key, right?

The rolling position strategy does look stable, but execution is the real devil.
---
Using this approach again, but it still depends on market sentiment.
---
Rolling from 100U to 1000U sounds easy, but how many can really stick with it?
---
Flexible small-position rolling sounds good, but I'm worried that frequent trading might eat up all the fees by accident.
---
Compound interest, the key is to stay alive first, that's the most critical point.
---
Feels like luck still plays a big role. Even with a good strategy, what if a black swan event occurs?
---
Main force positions with stable output? Which coins can be stable now? I haven't seen any.
---
Psychological resilience is important; most people get stuck on emotional management.
---
So, discipline is key. Don't change your plan just because of a market wave.

This logic makes sense, but the question is, how many people can really implement partial profit-taking?
