You might think this is bragging, but I actually turned 500 yuan in principal into 100,000 yuan in three months. There’s nothing magical about it; in the end, it's just an ordinary person achieving results step by step using the most "stupid" methods.

**Phase 1: Test the waters with 100 bucks, practice your mindset**

The initial idea was simple – take out 100 yuan, and even if I lose it all, it won't change my life. This mindset relaxed me and instead gave me five chances to make mistakes.

How to operate? First, I only focus on Bitcoin, why? Because the BTC market is large enough and not easily manipulated, I feel most secure when trading it. Secondly, I used 20x leverage—100x is too crazy, I’m afraid that if my mentality collapses, I might lose everything. 20x can amplify gains while keeping the risk within an acceptable range.

In addition to strictly controlling the position size, only half of the principal is used to open a position each time, which is 50 yuan, while the other 50 yuan is kept as a backup. The most important discipline is: close the position immediately after making a 10% profit, and definitely do not be greedy; if it loses 5%, accept the loss and exit, never hold on stubbornly. A maximum of two trades per day, stop if you win, and even more so if you lose.

After sticking to it for a month like this, 500 bucks turned into 3000 bucks. The speed isn't fast, but it's very steady.

**Phase Two: Rolling Position Increase, Profits Grow Larger Like a Snowball**

After having a capital base of 3000, the strategy was adjusted, but none of those ironclad disciplines were changed.

At this stage, I open a position with 1500, which is half of the principal. When I make money, I include the profit and continue to operate— for example, if 1500 earns 10%, it becomes 1650, making the total capital 3150. The next time I open a position, I will use 1575. When I incur losses, once the stop loss is triggered, I cut the position back to 500 directly, and only after winning a few trades do I dare to gradually increase again.

This stage tests one’s patience the most. I spent three months, relying on small wins to roll the initial capital of 500 into 100,000. There were no exciting moments in between, just the daily repetition of the same actions, but the power of compound interest was fully demonstrated here.

**Phase Three: Capture the Major Market Trends, Account Experiences a Qualitative Leap**

In the fifth month, the market experienced a noticeable upward trend.

What adjustments can I dare to make at this point? First, increase the position to 70%—because I have accumulated enough profits and confidence over the past few months, and I have plenty of funds on hand; second, dare to hold the position for greater returns—before, I would run after making a 10% profit, but this time, seeing that the trend is indeed good, I have raised my profit target to 30%; third and most importantly, set the stop-loss tighter—this way, even if my judgment fails, the losses won't hurt too much.

With this wave of market, the account jumped directly from 25,000 to 100,000.

**Summarize a realistic observation**

There are actually many opportunities in the crypto world. Bitcoin has ample liquidity, and market conditions fluctuate frequently. What is truly lacking is not opportunities, but people who can discipline themselves and live long enough to wait for opportunities to knock on their door. Remember this sentence—slowly becoming rich is the fastest way.
