Only after you pass that threshold will money automatically find you.
I have seen too many people, holding tens of thousands in principal, obsessed with staring at the market and selling at a loss every day, talking about tenfold or hundredfold profits, only to find their accounts stuck in place after years of turmoil. The harsh truth of the cryptocurrency world is: with funds below one million, all frequent operations are essentially self-consumption.
When your principal is less than one hundred thousand, even if you hit a doubling market once, after deducting trial and error costs and time costs, what you get may still be less than a salary from a job. True class crossing begins when you grow your account from five figures to seven figures—only then do you have the entry ticket to the table.
One, why is one million a watershed?
When your funds reach seven figures, the investment logic will undergo a qualitative change:
Volatility becomes a friend: a twenty percent increase on a hundred thousand principal is only twenty thousand, but a twenty percent increase on a million is two hundred thousand, which exceeds most people's annual salary. No leverage is needed; the profit is already substantial.
The mindset is completely different: when you have small funds, you always want to take a gamble to turn things around, but the result often falls just before dawn. A seven-figure account allows you to layout calmly, able to wait and afford losses.
When opportunities arise, dare to place heavy bets: when the market is giving away money, small funds betting heavily won't earn much, but big funds can achieve a leap with a slight effort.
Those who can stabilize above seven figures do not rely on accurately predicting every rise and fall, but rather control their hands during 80% of the junk time and place heavy bets during 20% of the certain opportunities.
Two, the three iron rules for ordinary people to roll to seven figures.
1. Learn to 'wait', holding back from acting is making money.
90% of the time in crypto is spent in shakeouts, and truly trending markets happen only two to three times a year. I have seen the most powerful retail investors stay in cash for three months during the bear market in 2022, only to strike heavily when Bitcoin showed 'consecutive bottom volume + slow rise, steady decline' signals, doubling with one rebound.
No trading in sideways markets—this simplest principle has already helped you outperform most frequent traders.
2. Only markets that are easy to understand at a glance are worth entering.
True opportunities never require complex analysis:
After a deep fall, sideways: after a long decline, the coin price starts to shrink in volume and move sideways, with increasingly smaller fluctuations.
Volume breakout: one day, the trading volume suddenly increases by more than three times, and the price steadily rises.
Pullbacks do not break: a pullback after a breakout that does not break the previous low is a clear signal from the market giving money.
This kind of market will appear 2-3 times a year; catching one is enough for you to eat for half a year.
3. If you see it clearly, then take enough position; otherwise, it's all in vain.
The only way for small funds to turn around is to dare to place heavy bets in the face of certain opportunities. But this does not mean gambling; my position rules are very simple:
Total position should not exceed 50% of the principal, and a single coin should not exceed 30%.
The initial position should not exceed 50% of the planned position, add more on pullbacks.
Each trade's stop loss should not exceed 5% of the total funds; this is the lifeline.
Many people see the correct direction but don't make money; the fundamental reason is that the bets are too light. Hesitating to take small bets when the timing is right deserves to not earn.
Three, changing fate does not require daily operations.
I spent three years going from one hundred thousand to my first million, but the second million only took five months. Why? Because the larger the principal, the more the power of compound interest can be leveraged.
Small funds stage: focus on spot trading, never touch contracts. Contracts are 'risk hedging tools', not 'gambling chips', ordinary people playing contracts face nine deaths out of ten.
Core allocation: 60% Bitcoin + 30% mainstream coins + 10% potential altcoins, fixed investment in the early bull market, hold during the main upward wave, and gradually take profits later.
Profit layering: withdraw the money earned back to the principal first, then use the profits to roll. I withdraw 10% every time I earn 30%, ensuring profits are secured.
The most effective strategies are often the simplest: in a bull market, hold onto spot; in a bear market, stay in cash and wait. Control your hands, and you have already beaten 90% of people.
Four, true experts all lose to 'slow'.
The biggest trap in crypto is making people believe 'fast is winning'; the common trait of those who get liquidated is: fearing missing out on the market leads to over-leveraging, fearing slow recovery leads to holding onto losing positions, and fearing too little profit leads to increasing their positions.
Those who can truly survive are the ones who focus on 'slow':
Missed the market? Admitting you don't understand is not shameful.
Is recovery too slow? First, ensure you don't lose; staying alive is the most important.
Is profit too little? Take profit and preserve the principal for the next opportunity.
In the crypto world, it's not about who runs faster, but about who survives longer. Seizing two or three rolling market opportunities in a lifetime is enough to change your fate.
Lastly, let me be honest.
I have seen too many genius traders who understand technology and can analyze, but in the end, lose to their inability to control themselves. I have also seen many 'fools' who only hold onto Bitcoin and Ethereum, and after several years, they instead achieve stable profits.
