Don't be a sucker anymore! Want to get stronger in the crypto world with a small principal? These 6 "anti-harvesting strategies" have been tested by me and can save your life.


Newbies want to get stronger in the crypto world? With a small capital and the desire to reap profits, rely on these 6 "anti-sucker strategies"!
I entered the market with 3000 coins back then, relying on these points to go from losing to crying to stable profits. Now I'm sharing my most useful insights with you ---
1. Focus on just 1 coin and get to know it like a "familiar person".
The crypto world has so many coins that it's hard to count, but remember: the energy and capital of retail investors are equally precious.
Don't be greedy. "Chase this one if it rises, buy that one if it gets hot," just stick to one coin (like Bitcoin / Ethereum) and understand its temperament thoroughly.
What time does it usually fluctuate greatly?
How much of a drop is considered a "normal correction," and how much is a "real crash?"
What news will make it soar, and what news will make it plummet?
Understanding 1 is 10 times more reliable than randomly trading 10!
2. Don't touch the keyboard when the market is skyrocketing / plummeting!
Have you ever had this experience:
Looking at the coin price, it jumped 10% in 5 minutes. I got carried away and jumped in, but as soon as I bought, it dropped.
Staring at the account in red during the plunge, trembling hands cut losses, and immediately after cutting, it rebounds.
Remember: 90% of operations are wrong within 1 hour of a surge / crash.
At this time, don’t stare at the market; go have a glass of water, watch a short video, and come back when the market stabilizes — the market won’t shut down just because you delayed your operation by 5 minutes, but your impulsiveness for 5 minutes might cost you 3 months' worth of money.
3. Always keep half of your money on hand; this is the "lifesaving money."
Principal of 10,000, spend at most 5,000 to buy coins, and don't touch the remaining 5,000 at all!
Dropped, use this 5000 to average down (for example, add a bit when it drops by 10%, don't fill it all at once), to lower the average price;
It's up, I'm optimistic about the trend, I will use this 5000 to increase my position and earn more.
Even if the judgment is wrong, at least there are 5000 that can turn around, so you won't lose everything and just slap your thigh.
People who go all in have already lost their mindset - they are afraid of falling when it rises and afraid of going to zero when it falls, and they can't make rational decisions at all.
4. Draw a "dead line" for each transaction, let the computer bear it for you.
The most common mistake beginners make: when they make a profit, they want to make more, and when they incur a loss, they want to recover it.
Solution: Set the "take profit point" and "stop loss point" before opening a position, and let the platform execute automatically.
For example:
Set "sell automatically at a 15% increase" when buying, regardless of whether it can still rise by 30% afterwards—what matters is securing the profits.
At the same time, set "sell automatically at a drop of 8%"; even if you think "it will definitely rebound," let the computer help you play people for suckers, don't rely on your own impulse.
I have seen too many people, just because of "wait a little longer," a 10% loss turned into 50%, and in the end, they were liquidated.
5. Spend 3 days learning the basics, don't be a "follow the trend sucker"
Don't believe those lies of "You don't need to learn, just follow me and you can earn" — If he can really make a guaranteed profit, why would he bring you along?
Spend 3 days to understand these 3 basics:
K line: Look at the closing price and trading volume (red bars indicate strong buying pressure, green bars indicate strong selling pressure);
Moving Averages: 5-day line, 20-day line (short-term trend looks at the 5-day, medium-term looks at the 20-day, price above the moving average is considered strong);
Position: Never let a single coin position exceed 30% of the principal.
These things are not difficult; if you understand them, you won't be played for suckers by those who shout "a big bullish candle signals a bull market."
6. Do not adopt a "one-size-fits-all" approach, make 3 moves.
Whether buying or selling, don't go all in at once:
I want to buy 1000 coins, divided into 3 purchases (for example, buy 300 today, buy 300 again if it drops tomorrow, and buy 400 when it stabilizes the day after tomorrow);
I want to sell the coins I have, selling in 3 batches (sell 20% when it rises by 5%, 30% when it rises by 10%, and 50% when it rises by 15%).
This way, even if you buy at a high point and sell at a low point, you won't lose too badly and can gradually find your rhythm.
To put it bluntly:
The core of making money in the crypto world is not "predicting the market" but "controlling oneself"—controlling greed, controlling fear, and controlling the impulse to get rich quickly.
The principal amount is not scary; what is scary is rushing in without a plan. If you practice these 6 tips for 3 months, you will find that:
In the past, the market played you, but now you can play the market.
Adjust the mindset:
Add "scenario details": for example, "10% increase in 5 minutes" "red columns and green columns", so that beginners can relate to actual operations;
Strengthen the "anti-pain points": highlight specific errors such as "following the crowd to buy" and "all-in mentality collapsing", allowing users to resonate with being "hit on the mark";
Lower the threshold with "small goals": "Spend 3 days learning the basics" and "Practice for 3 months" is easier to execute than "learn slowly";
Colloquialism enhances affinity: "Don't touch the keyboard," "Don't move even if you die," "Slap your thigh," sounding more like an experienced driver sharing tips, bringing people closer.
