I didn't make money, is the market not giving opportunities? Self-reflection—many times, it's because I took the wrong path.



Losing without review, chasing after wins, reckless operations regardless of price movements, and self-deception that small funds can only be played this way. The outcome? It's been predetermined.

But this logic is flawed. If only big players and institutions could survive in the crypto world, then ordinary people would have long been out of the game. On the contrary—most losers don't lose because of small capital, but because of their trading mindset and emotional management.

Now, with only 100U, there are really only two ways to reach 1000U.

One is to go all-in on a "promising" coin, directly all-in, betting for a tenfold return.

The other is to take a steady, incremental approach—break down the goal, use controlled risk, and gradually increase profits.

Most people won't admit it verbally, but their actions are honest—always choose the first option. Because it's fast, exciting, and seems like a quick way to turn things around. But once the market moves against you, your account is wiped out, and there's no chance to reflect. This isn't about efficiency; it's gambling your principal on luck.

Those who truly survive are the second type.

The key to position scaling has never been about getting rich overnight, but about three words: can拆, can control, can preserve.

I've seen too many people with two or three hundred U, unwilling to set stop-losses, suffering small losses continuously, and getting wiped out in one big loss. Later, I just tell them: don't think about reaching 1000U in one step, first get 100U to 300U.

How to do it? Break the goal into several small stages, each aiming for a stable profit of 30 to 50U. Lock in part of the profit after completing each stage, and continue to roll the rest, instead of going all-in on every trade.

This process is indeed slow, so slow that many can't stand it. But it has a deadly advantage: it won't be knocked out by a single market move, and the account keeps growing while staying "alive."

Position scaling is like rolling a snowball—initially unremarkable, but as long as the direction is right and the rhythm steady, it will accelerate incredibly. More importantly, this process forces you to learn position control, emotional management, and risk respect.

Remember this: true account growth depends not on luck or dreams of getting rich quickly, but on the certainty built through repeated rolling.

Well said, that's the principle—making money depends on mindset, not luck. I'm currently practicing this approach.

Sounds good, but I still believe more in the joy of going all-in... Just kidding, I've definitely seen too many dreams shattered.

That's so true, most people are just greedy for quick gains. I've seen too many who dream of turning 100U into 1000U overnight, only to lose their principal in the end.

That hits too close to home. I'm the fool who went all-in, and now my account is lying on the floor.

No matter how nicely it's said, it's the same — most people can't stick with it at all, and after a month, they start going all-in.

After all this, the core logic is risk management and compound interest. However, there is a hidden risk—most people simply cannot stick to "small streams of water flowing steadily," and their psychological defenses are more fragile than smart contract vulnerabilities. The impulse to go all in is like a reentrancy attack; it can wipe out everything in one go. So the real issue is not the strategy, but the execution.

Exactly right, most people just want to get rich overnight, and they can't bear to slowly roll their positions.

Exactly, but the hardest part is managing that mindset. Among those I know who lost money, nine out of ten have a all-in mentality and simply can't sit still.

That's right, it's just the logic... most people simply can't listen.

It sounds reasonable, but to be honest, 99% of people can't do it, including myself...
