I've been in this circle for almost ten years, and what pains me most are the newcomers who dare to go all-in with just a few hundred USDT. I once saw a guy put his entire 800 yuan into some shitcoin, calling out signals in the group at noon, only to lose everything by the afternoon. There are also those who buy this today and switch to that tomorrow, tossing back and forth so much that just the fees are enough for a good meal. Even crazier, some people keep averaging down every time the price drops, putting in next month's rent...

Last year I met a friend who only had 1,200 yuan in his account, and his hands were shaking the first time he traded. But after five months, his account balance shot up to 32,000. Don't be envious—he didn't have any special tricks, he just stuck strictly to his rules. If you're playing with a small amount in this game, no matter how sharp your instincts are, it won't help; the key is not to make rookie mistakes.

These three survival tips are ones every brother with less than four figures of capital should remember.

**First Tip: Divide Your Money, Don’t Go All-In**

Small capital is most vulnerable to gambling mentality. I always recommend splitting it "5-3-2":

Half of your funds for short-term trades. Just focus on the two biggest market cap coins (you know which ones). Sell as soon as you make 3-5%, never get greedy. Treat this as pocket money—small gains add up.

Thirty percent for swing trades. Only move when the signals are clear—moving averages trending up, volume increasing. Hold for three to five days, target 10%-15% profit. Once you hit your target, get out—don’t be greedy.

Twenty percent is your lifeline. No matter how tempting the market is, never touch this money. When the market crashes and others are forced to sell at a loss, you still have a backup. This is the key to surviving with a small bankroll.

I've seen too many people go all-in at once—if it goes up, they get arrogant; if it drops, they lose control, chasing pumps and getting caught in dumps, unable to stop.
