Too many people enter the market with just a few hundred dollars, dreaming of a big turnaround.


And what happens? They lose everything in two weeks, grit their teeth and swear "I'll never touch this again," but next month they can't resist topping up again, and they get wiped out once more.
I've seen too many cases like this.
There’s a brother who invested 600U, went all-in with 100x leverage on PEPE.
He made 2000U overnight, so excited he treated everyone to a meal.
The next day, the price retraced, and he lost it all.
Unwilling to accept it, he added 500U, opened with 50x leverage, and got wiped out in two hours.
Four times in a month he blew up his account, maxed out his credit card, and almost broke up with his girlfriend.
He came to me and said, “I’m really not a gambler, I just want to turn things around.”
I told him, “If you want to turn things around, first learn to treat yourself as a ‘fool’.”
I asked him to do three things:
First, transfer the remaining 300U out of the exchange, leaving only 100U in the account.
Tell him: if this 100U is lost, stop; no topping up, no borrowing.
Second, reduce leverage to within 10x, only trade BTC and ETH, at most one order per day, with a 2% stop loss and take profit at 3%, then exit.
He asked, “How can I make money like this?”
I said, “First, just survive a month without getting wiped out.”
Third, every time he makes 50U profit, withdraw 30U to his bank card.
When he first withdrew, his hands were trembling, and he said, “I’ve never taken money out of the crypto world before.”
And what happened?
In the first month, he didn’t get wiped out, his account grew from 100U to 180U, and he withdrew 50U.
In the second month, he slowly traded with the remaining 130U, and by the end of the month, he had 300U.
Now his account has 4000U, and each trade still only uses 100U, with leverage never exceeding 10x.
He said, “I used to think slow was bad, but looking back, those who moved fast are long gone.”
A few hundred dollars wanting to turn things around? Don’t gamble.
The only thing you need to do is: first ensure you don’t get wiped out this week, then think about next month.
If you’re slow enough that others think you’re timid, you’ll survive until others go to zero.
PEPE-1.74%
BTC-0.14%
ETH-1.33%
