Letting go of the obsession with overnight riches is the only way to truly achieve stable returns.

Recently, many people have been coming to me with just a few thousand dollars, asking if I can help them multiply their money tenfold quickly. My answer is straightforward: there is no magic, only reliable methods. None of my friends who have built their success step by step rely on luck to get rich overnight. They all achieve this through continuous accumulation and self-discipline, gradually changing their accounts.

I know a trader whose account was down to only 3,000 dollars during the toughest times. But he didn't give up. He made two decisions: first, to abandon the habit of frequent all-in trades; second, to understand a key logic — market opportunities are abundant, but not every one needs to be seized. He started learning to hold cash and wait for truly promising opportunities.

In this way, he said no to most tempting opportunities and focused only on the most certain ones. His account grew little by little through this restraint.

**The Deadly Trap of Small Capital: Impatience and Ignoring Survival**

Newcomers in the circle with just a few thousand dollars often have the mindset of "one big trade can change my life." And then? Most of them become nutrients for the market.

The biggest opponent for small capital is not the lack of opportunities, but a restless mindset. You have only a few thousand dollars but dream of earning tens of thousands. This greed is the easiest to lead to reckless decisions. I’ve seen someone open a contract with 10,000 dollars using 100x leverage, only to be wiped out by a single fluctuation.

There are indeed opportunities in the crypto space. But these opportunities come round after round, and if you lose your principal, you'll never get another chance.

For small-cap players, the first thing to quit is high leverage in contracts. Altcoin contracts are small, and a single large order can disrupt the K-line. Main players want to smash the market, making it even harder to defend. So, for small funds, staying alive and leaving the market is more important than anything else.
