#比特币流动性 Some people ask me, what can you do with 10 bucks? Maybe not even enough for a decent meal. But I just want to try: using this starting capital, turning it into 1,000 bucks in three months, then from 1,000 to 10,000. This isn’t some fairy-tale wealth dream; frankly, it’s a hardcore approach for small retail investors to survive—relying on discipline and rules to grind it out.



**Phase One: From 10 to 20 | Doubling or Zeroing Out**

The only goal at this stage: double the funds.

I choose ETH because of its liquidity and relatively stable trend. Before risking the entire 10 bucks, I’ll split it into two parts: $5 for actual trading, and the other $5 kept aside for possible variables.

Suppose ETH is at 3000. I use $5 to open a position, buying about 0.0016 ETH. If it gains 50%, I close the position and take out $7.5; if it drops 20%, I cut losses and take out $4.

It’s that simple and straightforward: trade at most 1-2 times a day, don’t expect to get rich overnight. After a loss, pause for 2 hours to cool down, so your mind stays clear and emotions don’t dictate decisions. The three iron rules—no holding onto losing positions, no adding to positions, no dreaming.

Why do this? Because the capital is so small that low leverage won’t generate anything meaningful. Instead of slowly grinding, it’s better to efficiently test within a risk control framework—don’t waste time or mental energy.

**Phase Two: From 20 to 80 | The Thrill of Consecutive Wins**

Suppose the first step succeeded, and now you have 20 bucks. What’s next? Keep rolling.

Use only 50% of your capital for each round:

With 20 bucks, open a position with 10 bucks, aiming for 50% profit → total becomes 25 bucks.

With 25 bucks, open a position with 12.5 bucks, again aiming for 50% → total becomes 31.25 bucks.

With 31.25 bucks, open a position with 15 bucks, continue aiming for 50% → total around 50 bucks.

Three consecutive wins in a row, and your capital has nearly quadrupled. Feels good? Sure. But here’s a hidden danger—the moment you slip once, everything resets back to 10 bucks. So, winning streaks depend not on luck but on strict discipline to execute each step properly.

**Phase Three: Above 80 bucks | Survival is More Important Than Winning**

At this level, the approach must change. Divide the capital into 8 parts, each 10 bucks. Reduce leverage to 50x. Take profit targets from 50% down to 30%, and tighten stop-loss from 20% to 10%.

Why? Because with 10 bucks, even if you wipe out, it’s just reset. But with 80 bucks, survival comes first—only after surviving can you talk about growth. Many people get this logic wrong.

**Final Words**

A harsh reality: if you can’t manage even 10 bucks well, even if someone suddenly gives you 1 million, the outcome probably won’t be much better. Trading isn’t gambling; it’s survival. Only those who make it to the end have the right to define what winning really means.

The story of ten bucks... I think this guy really understands risk control. It's not about doubling your money, but those three ironclad rules hit me—no holding the bag, no adding to positions, no dreaming. That's the true language of survival.

Basically, it's a mindset game. Most people are eliminated in the first stage before they can endure.
