Don't go all-in; this is my deepest insight in the crypto market.

Four years ago, I entered with less than 2000U, and now I can steadily profit from the market. But this is not a story of getting rich overnight; on the contrary— it took me a long time to understand a simple truth: surviving is the key to everything that follows.

I've seen too many people around me. They rush in with a "gamble it all" mentality, only to lose everything in a few weeks. I’ve also fallen into traps and lost money, and only then did I truly understand that in this "player versus player" market, simply staying alive is worth celebrating.

**Position Sizing is the First Lesson**

When the principal is small, many people think: "This much money, what’s the point of splitting it?" Precisely this mindset is the direct cause of most people being eliminated.

My approach is very rigid: never go all-in. Even with just 2000U, I strictly divide into three parts:

- 500U for intraday short-term trading, one trade per day, never hold onto a losing position
- 500U for swing trading, waiting ten days or half a month for the right opportunity
- The remaining 1000U kept as a safety fund

What is the purpose of this division? To control single-trade risk. In the crypto world, the most painful thing isn’t missing an opportunity, but when the opportunity really comes, you have no capital left.

**Patience is a Mandatory Course**

Market opportunities are plentiful. What’s scarce is patience. I’ve seen too many people, including myself in the past, always thinking they must make a profit every time. The result? Frequent trading, frequent losses, and eventually losing all the principal.

The turning point for me was to only earn what I can confidently handle. Wait until the market is clear before acting. Even if it takes a month without a single suitable opportunity, I can stay calm and wait. This kind of patience isn’t passive; it’s using every trade with confidence to beat those who trade impulsively and frequently.

Those who survive, ultimately win.
