Someone in the crypto circle always asks, how can small funds achieve double growth? I heard a very interesting saying: most people in the market are emotionally hijacked, and those who truly make money are never prediction experts, but those who can stay calm.
An old hand in the crypto world once shared his profit logic. Starting from 100,000 and now with assets over a billion, he summarized a very practical method—the "Five-Step Batch Method." This approach looks simple, but executing it requires breaking human greed.
**How to break down your principal?**
The first step is mindset building. Don't go all-in at once; divide your total funds into 5 parts. For example, if you have 10,000 yuan, split it into five 2,000-yuan portions. Only operate with one part at a time, and freeze the rest. What's the benefit of this? Single losses can never hurt your principal; at worst, you lose only 20%, which makes the psychological burden completely different.
**Core logic for selecting targets**
Newcomers should never jump into leverage and contracts right away—that's a meat grinder. Use 2,000 yuan to buy spot positions of coins you believe in long-term. Market fluctuations will be enough for small funds to double. There's no need to borrow money to amplify; first, stabilize your mindset and develop your feel for the market. This is the first stage.
**Timing to even out costs**
After buying, if the price drops 10%, what should you do? Add another 2,000 yuan. It sounds like chasing a dip, but actually, it's rhythmically averaging down. Your average cost can be reduced by about 5%. Later, only a 5% rebound is needed to break even, greatly reducing the chance of deep losses or being forced to sell at a loss. This step tests your discipline.
**The iron law of selling**
When the gain reaches 10%, sell half of your position to lock in profits. For example, if 2,000 yuan rises to 2,200 yuan, sell 1,000 yuan worth. The remaining 1,000 yuan, even if it later drops back to the cost price, you've already earned 100 yuan—achieving a zero-cost game. This step is the hardest because of FOMO, but sticking to this discipline is key to stable profits.
**Let profits cycle naturally**
The final step is to reinvest the earned money and part of the principal as a new "2,000 yuan" to find the next target. Suppose you earned 100 yuan profit, plus 1,000 yuan principal, making a new starting point of 1,100 yuan. Repeat the cycle of "small trial → add on dips → take profit on rises." Sticking to this rhythm for a year, it’s entirely possible to multiply your funds by 5 to 10 times, because each target is just a 10% gain, which is achievable.
**Why do most people fail?**
Actually, it's not because the method is wrong, but because execution is hijacked by emotions. Greed makes people chase highs, fear makes people cut losses. The market is not short of quick money opportunities; what’s lacking is the ability to hold onto gains. Many people turn this stable logic into a routine that results in losing their principal—failing to add on when they should, and being too greedy to take profits when they should.
If you're still relying on predictions and insider info to trade, it might be time to change your approach. You don't need to understand complex candlestick patterns or stay up all night watching the market. Just establish simple rules and let discipline make decisions for you. This is especially effective for small funds because risks are strictly controlled, and psychologically, it’s easier to stick with.

Five steps for phased listening sound good, but how many can really stick to it?
It's easy to say, but ultimately it depends on whether you can resist FOMO selling.
Discipline is something that's a hundred times easier to say than to do.
Doubling your gains sounds good, but nine times out of ten you're still losing.
This method is actually a psychological game; who wins or loses all depends on whether you can control your hand.

In other words, discipline overcomes human nature. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really deadly.
---
Listening to insurance in five installments is reassuring, but when it comes to cutting losses, you'll still regret it—that's the crypto world.
---
The zero-cost game theory is indeed perfect; the most vulnerable part is always the take-profit stage.
---
From 100,000 to over a billion, unless you're a chosen one, it really takes extreme self-discipline.
---
Earning only 10% each time sounds easy, but you have to resist the urge to chase highs—that's the hardest part.
---
The most frightening thing is understanding the method but lacking execution, all conclusions are correct, but the results are completely reversed.

Everyone is right, but there are very few who can truly do it. Greed, you see, is ingrained in our genes.

Basically, it's a mindset game. Most people simply can't follow through.
Discipline sounds simple but is really torturous to implement. Being able to stick to it twice out of ten attempts is already good.
The five-step method looks stable, but the key is whether you can endure those tempting FOMO moments.
Small amounts are already easy to get caught up in; when 2000 yuan rises to 2200, people want to go all in. That's the killer.
It feels like this logic is completely torturous for someone like me with a hot temper.
The ones who really make money are those with extremely boring trading styles. I'm stunned.

Honestly, many people know about discipline, but few can truly stick to it.
---
The five-step method sounds pretty reliable, but the key is to withstand the temptation to go all-in at a 10% gain.
---
Bro, this approach is just wrapping human greed in a mathematical framework. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really hard.
---
Don't ask me how I know; I’m part of the group that’s been pressed down and rubbed by FOMO psychology.
---
The most heartbreaking thing is that the market never lacks opportunities to make money; it just lacks people who can hold onto their profits.
---
Taking a 10% profit target for small, certain happiness—most people simply can't resist the potential for a sudden surge afterward.
---
Dividing into five parts can really help with mindset, but those who can't stick to it will still find excuses to move the other four frozen parts.
---
It seems that the most valuable skill in the crypto world right now is: the ability to wait.

It's not wrong to say that 99% of people die at the take-profit step.
---
It sounds right, but the key is discipline. I’ve been caught too many times because of greed.
---
The five-step method is basically about controlling desire, which is the hardest part.
---
Honestly, most people can't really follow through; they all want to make a big move.
---
I've tried this approach, and it’s indeed stable, but the gains are a bit slow.
---
The problem is, do you really have the courage to add to your position when it drops 10%? I don't.
---
Discipline > prediction. This phrase must be engraved in your mind.
---
Taking profit at 10% gain sounds easy but is extremely difficult to actually do. FOMO really is the devil.
---
The batch method definitely reduces psychological pressure, I agree with that.
---
The key is to trust your own rules; otherwise, it will still get chaotic.
