After years in the crypto world, I've seen too many people come in dreaming of "getting rich overnight," only to end up losing their principal. Honestly, to survive in this market with 10,000 yuan, don't think about turning it into a million first. You need to figure out how to stay alive.

Let me tell some hard truths. I started with 2000 USD, and at one point, my account grew to 60,000 USD. But because I was greedy with futures trading, I almost lost it all. Stories like this happen every day in the crypto space:

Nine and a half out of ten altcoins will disappear, and the "hundredfold myth" is just self-comfort for survivors; making 10x on futures is possible, but liquidation can happen in a second—it's the most common death trap for beginners; FOMO is the real harvesting tool—when a coin suddenly surges, the group explodes, and jumping in usually means catching the last wave.

So, the first golden rule: only use idle funds. Invest 10,000 yuan, and if you lose it, it shouldn't affect your daily life. If you make a profit, consider it a freebie for the day. Keep it within 5%-10% of your total assets—that's the ceiling.

Let me share some proven practical strategies. Divide 10,000 yuan into five parts, each 2000. Only focus on the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap like BTC, ETH, BNB. Absolutely avoid meme coins—it's simple: mainstream coins even if they crash to trash, still have a chance to rebound; small coins, once they fall, are usually gone forever.

The core approach is straightforward: buy more when it drops 10%, sell to take profit when it rises 10%. Sounds simple, but very few can stick to it. This method isn't fancy; just mechanical execution—don't let emotions control you.
