To be honest, I only started with 5,000 yuan to test the waters, and who would have thought it would grow to 150,000 in less than two months?
It’s not some kind of magic—just taking some simple methods to the extreme. A lot of people think it sounds easy, but very few actually stick with it—the hardest part is human nature.
**Don’t touch those “hot” junk coins**
When your principal isn’t much, the worst thing you can do is invest randomly. My strategy back then was very simple: use mainstream coins as the foundation and pair them with potential projects.
At that time, all kinds of animal coins were flying high in the market, but I didn’t follow the trend. Instead, I slowly built positions in coins like MATIC, ARB, and RNDR, which have real use cases and seemed reliable to me. It turned out that choosing the right track was way better than aimlessly chasing hype.
**Compounding is all about not being greedy**
A lot of people think compounding means going all in, but that’s not it at all. My approach is to set a small goal—say, take profit at 20%, then re-enter after a pullback.
For example: with a principal of 50,000, I’d aim to reach 60,000 and then exit. If you can catch this rhythm 6 to 8 times a month, doubling your money isn’t a dream.
Sound slow? That’s the scary thing about compounding—keep stacking small goals, and the final number will shock you. The key is to stick to the rules: take profits when you hit your goal and don’t get greedy for more.
**Don’t get trigger-happy when you should be in cash**
I’ve seen too many people make money only to give it all back. What’s the problem? They can’t walk away when they’re up, and they hold on to losses to the bitter end.
I set a strict rule for myself: if I don’t understand the market, I absolutely don’t touch it. For example, during the bear market in 2022, I basically did nothing—while others were trying to “buy the dip,” I was researching projects. I only made a move when there were real reversal signals, and that’s what gave me the opportunity to double my money later.
I only trust three things: on-chain data doesn’t lie, follow where the main funds go, and trust my own independent judgment.
**It’s not a miracle, but it does require discipline**
Rolling 5,000 into 150,000 sounds incredible, but in essence it’s just: pick the right projects + control your position sizes + manage yourself.
I’m not some genius trader—I just have a bit more patience and discipline than most. Now I’ve systematized this method: sector selection logic + emotional management mechanism + compounding rhythm control, all working together.
With a scientific strategy and strict execution, sustained profits are possible. Ordinary players should never blindly use leverage—figure out your methodology first.

It sounds nice, but in reality it's just luck + survivor bias. I bet your next project goes straight to zero.
Compounding isn't that easy. If it were really that simple, everyone in crypto would be a millionaire by now.
That MATIC run was indeed impressive, but you didn't mention all the pitfalls. Turning $5,000 into $150,000 isn't much more likely than winning the lottery.
Don't get brainwashed by this kind of talk. Discipline sounds great, but when it comes down to actually doing it, greed will swallow you whole.
Taking profits at 20%? I bet you've already gone all in on some new coin by now.
Staying on the sidelines in 2022 was indeed smart, but that's only if you could really resist checking the charts.
This is classic hindsight bias. Talking about discipline only after losses is just a joke.
No one can truly see where the smart money is going. Stop bragging, man.

Damn, this compounding is insane, but the key is still to hold back.
---
Basically, it’s about discipline. Most people lose everything at the moment they get greedy.
---
I’m holding MATIC and ARB too. Definitely stay away from shitcoins.
---
I’ve got to try this “sell at 20%” strategy. Seems way more reliable than going all-in.
---
The key is that very few people can truly stay out of the market and do nothing—itchy hands are a universal problem.
---
It’s fun to hear stories about turning 5K into 150K, but when it comes to actual trading, it’s still all about restraint.
---
I really respect this idea of using major coins as a base. Way more stable than any meme coin.
---
Compounding sounds simple, but sticking with it is hell.
---
On-chain data and independent judgment—these two points are definitely worth considering.

What you said is quite right, but execution is really hard. I've seen so many people who understand this logic but still fail because of human nature.
Being able to control yourself is more important than anything. Forget 20%, I often cash out at just 5%.
MATIC and ARB are indeed stable. As for shitcoins, even if there's a 10x opportunity, I won't touch them anymore—learned that lesson the hard way.
Being in cash is the hardest part, but that's actually when you make the most money. Most people do the opposite.
Turning 5,000 into 150,000 is not exactly hard, but it's not that easy either. The key is to survive long enough.

Hi, to be honest, I did make some money following the MATIC trend, but what really gets me stuck is still the emotional management part...
---
I've heard the "take profits at 20%" rule so many times, but actually executing it is really tough...
---
Lying flat and researching projects is true, but sometimes watching others buy the dip and double their money still makes me itch...
---
Rolling over for compound interest sounds great, but when actually doing it, a single pullback makes you forget everything...
---
The scariest thing is when you think you understand the market—that's usually when you lose the most...
---
I agree with not using leverage, but honestly, doubling a small amount of money really depends on luck...
---
I love the saying "on-chain data doesn't lie," but most people don't know how to read it at all...
---
Choosing the right track sounds easy, but it's really hard in practice. Sometimes the temptation of shitcoins is beyond imagination...

Damn, this compounding method is really ruthless. The key is whether you can control yourself, right?
---
I copied that MATIC move too, just never dared to add more. Looking back, I was too timid.
---
I've tried that rolling 20% and leaving tactic, but I always feel like I could get a bit more, then I end up losing.
---
People who just laid low in 2022 are all rich now. I was itching to buy bottom coins every day back then—really had no self-control.
---
To put it simply, it's still about discipline. So many people say "that's right" after hearing it, and then turn around and go all-in again.
---
Choosing the right sector really is step one. Just stay away from junk coins, trust me.
---
On-chain data really doesn't lie; it's way more reliable than listening to those so-called influencers.
---
This logic of stacking small targets is definitely solid, but it's insanely hard to execute.
---
That's exactly the problem—you can't bear to leave when you're up, and you stubbornly hold when you're down. Human weakness gets you trapped every time.
---
150,000 sounds crazy, but if you break it down, the logic actually makes sense.

It sounds nice, but how many people can actually stick to the rules? I've seen too many people who, after earning 20%, get impulsive and go all-in again.
Compound interest sounds great, but first, you have to survive long enough to see that day. Plenty of people get liquidated as soon as the market turns.
I also stocked up on some MATIC back then, but honestly, there was more luck involved than you make it sound.
Anyone can talk about turning 5,000 into 150,000, but the real skill is whether you can review and repeat the process all over again.
The “take profit and run” strategy sounds simple, but maintaining the right mindset is really a hard mode.
I just want to ask: can this system still work in a bear market? Feels like something’s missing.
On-chain data is useful, but the data retail investors can understand has already been seen by the whales. What do you think?

That's right, the hardest part is keeping your hands off and not making impulsive moves.
Seriously, I've also tried chasing pumps and dumps every day, and ended up losing everything in a month. After changing my approach, I'm actually making more stable profits.
Compound interest is brutal, but only if you survive long enough—you can't go all-in and lose everything.
"If you don't understand it, don't touch it." I've told all my friends this, but very few can actually stick to it.
Turning 5,000 into 150,000 sounds crazy, but just think of all the temptations you have to go through along the way—I'm honestly impressed.
The biggest risk with rolling positions is greed—always wanting one more bite, but you usually just end up getting wrecked.
Mainstream coins really are more reassuring. Those animal coins are just gambling, nothing more.
I like the on-chain data approach—it's way more reliable than listening to some crypto influencer talk nonsense.
Human nature is definitely the biggest enemy; the technical side is actually less important.
This whole system makes sense when you lay it out—it's not complicated, the hard part is sticking with it.
To be honest, I only started with 5,000 yuan to test the waters, and who would have thought it would grow to 150,000 in less than two months?
