Why do people with smaller principal amounts tend to lose the fastest?

The answer is actually very simple:
It's not the market difficult, it's that you lack discipline.
People with small funds often have one common trait—impatience.
Having a few hundred or thousand dollars in the account, they think every day about "doubling it in one shot"—
Going all in, maxing out leverage, chasing rallies and selling dips.
When prices go up, they feel like they're about to take off;
When prices fall, they go straight to zero.
Last year, a follower of mine contacted me, his account was down to only $600, and he was distraught.
I told him one thing at the time:
Stop trying to double your money, learn to survive first.
The first thing we do is very simple—divide the $600 into parts.
Not all in at once, but split into three and play slowly:
One part only trades intraday, takes profits when they appear, and doesn’t be greedy;
Another waits until the trend is clearer before acting, willing to wait a few more days;
And the last part is kept as a safety fund.
This approach may seem slow, but it has a big advantage: no matter how the market twists and turns, you won’t get kicked out! $KAT ‌
The second thing is to control your hands $SIREN ‌
The biggest problem for beginners isn’t not understanding the market, it’s wanting to trade in every situation.
They trade during sideways markets, during volatility, and get itchy whenever they see a candlestick move.
Later, I told him one thing:
80% of the market time isn’t worth trading; wait for opportunities to come, and sit on your hands when they don’t.
The most crucial step is to set strict rules—stop-loss and walk away, take some profits early, and never add to a losing position.
Most people fail here: they know they’re wrong but still hope it will turn around, and the market loves to harvest those who hold onto such luck-based thinking. $STG

After sticking to this for three months, his account balance screenshot showed $18,000.
Five months later, the account exceeded $30,000. #币圈生存法则 $STO ‌
What I value most isn’t the account number, but what he later said:
I used to look for opportunities every day, now I only wait for opportunities!
Making money in the crypto world isn’t that mysterious; the real challenge isn’t understanding the market, it’s controlling your own hands.
Small capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is always trying to turn things around in one shot.
As long as your account is still there, opportunities are still there! But if you keep going all-in repeatedly, even the best market conditions won’t matter to you.
