How I Use 5,000U in the Crypto Market and Maintain Stable Profits ~30%/Month

Rules are always more reliable than luck. In the crypto market, most people lose not because they lack intelligence, but because they rely too much on emotions and luck. I once knew a friend who started with less than 5,000U, no advanced techniques, and didn’t boast about complex strategies. After three months, his account approached 60,000U. What impressed me most wasn’t the number, but his “boring enough to make you sleepy” trading style: no FOMO, no trying to catch the top or bottom, no belief in “100 times bets.” Just repeating a few principles that seem “stupid.” Watching him, I truly understood: Slow – Is Fast. 👉Below is a completely new article, compiled from my personal experiences and what I’ve learned from this “naive money game.” The core revolves around three pillars: Following the Big Money – Picking Up During Panic – Locking in Discipline.

  1. Follow the Whales, Don’t Obsess Over Charts Most traders lose because they think they can predict the market. We, on the other hand: abandon predictions, switch to observation. Instead of staring at charts all day, we spend more time on on-chain data. Tools like Etherscan, Whale Alert, Nansen… help track large transactions and real money flows. The logic is very simple: 👉 Prices can be manipulated, but real money flow doesn’t lie. For example: A token has dropped sharplyBut tokens are withdrawn from exchanges and transferred into cold wallets → Likely whales are quietly accumulating I personally spend only 5–10 minutes daily to quickly scan: Money in/out of exchangesNumber of active walletsLarge wallet fluctuations That’s enough to know which side the market favors today. Following the big money, you might not get the biggest gains, but you often avoid the worst cuts.
  2. Pick Up During Panic, Don’t Catch Falling Knives Everyone says: “Buy when the market is fearful.” But when prices really crash, very few dare to buy. Our strategy is to find projects: With solid fundamentalsHave products, ecosystems, real money flowBut are being sold off due to market psychology Especially long-established DeFi projects, not trash coins following trends. Typical buying points have two characteristics: Prices have fallen sharply from the peakLarge wallets are not withdrawing, or even increasing holdings If during a price decline, the Top 50–100 wallets hold or accumulate more, it’s likely retail panic selling, not whale panic fleeing. How to enter: Never go all-inBuy in parts (for example, 30% – 30% – 40%)Accept not buying at the exact bottom, but at a safer cost basis
  3. Turn Trading Into a Boring Routine My friend’s greatest strength is: 👉He makes trading extremely dull. His principles: Maximum 2–3 trades per daySet a goal to stop trading afterwardEvery trade has a stop-lossMaximum risk ≤ 3% of the account per trade Most importantly: 👉Take profits immediately, only leave capital to keep cycling. I also follow similar discipline: Losing two consecutive trades → take a break for the dayNo “recovery” trades, no revenge trading Many people can’t maintain discipline because they trade too big. Only use money you can lose without losing sleep. When emotions are not involved, decisions are much more accurate.
  4. Secret to Profiting with Small Capital: Survive First, Get Rich Later With small capital, the question isn’t: “How much can I make on one trade?” But: “How long can I make money in this market?” Accounts growing from 5,000U to tens of thousands don’t come from big wins, but from: Consistent win rateRegular tradingContinuous locked-in profits I have a habit: Withdrawing part of profits weeklyOnly leaving the principal + necessary margin This helps: Preserve gainsAvoid overexpanding the account too quickly, which can change psychology and strategy Profiting doesn’t start from large numbers, but from valuing each small profit.
  5. Personal Experience: Naive Effort Is the Shortcut After years in crypto, I’ve realized: All visible shortcuts are ultimately detours. Now, I spend more time: Reading on-chain dataObserving money flowsLess chart watching, less price guessing I no longer dream of “100 times bets,” only focus on consistently 15–30% per month. Try calculating: 20%/month → that’s already a very impressive number in a year. Finally, I maintain a very important habit: Every night ask myself 3 questions: Is this trade aligned with my plan?Where did I go wrong, and how to fix it?What should I avoid tomorrow? Sticking to this for a year, your skills will surpass most people in the market. The market always rewards those who respect the rules. Naive money isn’t scary. What’s scary is a naive mind always looking for shortcuts.
