#数字资产市场动态 The real bottleneck for doubling funds is not actually a technical issue.
What traps most people, frankly, is that psychological wall. The less capital you have, the more volatile your emotions are. Seeing your account floating with losses makes you restless, while a slight profit makes you eager to close and run. In the end, trading becomes a pure battle with your own emotions—how can the funds possibly grow?
The true breakthrough is here—treat losses as normal trading costs, not as a flood of disasters. When you no longer fear losses, you'll open positions more decisively, and set stop-losses more firmly. No matter how volatile the market, it won't shake your holdings. Only then can you fully ride out a trend.
But this is only the first hurdle. Once the capital scale increases, the strategy must also upgrade.
In the early stages with small funds, you can use a "short, fast, fierce" approach to cycle through various coins, but as the capital grows, this method becomes just providing liquidity to the market. Large positions must focus on assets capable of supporting your holdings—mainstream coins with sufficient liquidity. The trading rhythm should shift from intraday to swing trading, upgrading from minute K-lines to daily charts.
Simply put, whether your funds can step up is never about your understanding of the market, but about you as a trader. If you're stuck at a certain capital level, it's really because that psychological and methodological barrier hasn't been truly crossed.

That's right, many people get stuck on psychological barriers. Seeing ten or twenty times gains, they want to jump in, and when it dips, they cut their losses. It's really a battle with oneself.
It's not really a technical skill; it's just about endurance.
When funds are small, it's indeed better to be aggressive, but once the scale grows and you're still bouncing around on the minute chart, you're really just feeding the whales.
After going through a few cycles, I realize that the two biggest bottlenecks to making money are attitude + execution.
Holding steady is more important than anything else.
I want to ask you, how do you handle coins that have been sideways for several months? Can you really wait it out?
Losing money is the toughest test, but it's also the stage where you can make the most money... Easy to say, but real trading will tell you the truth.
If the direction is right, don't worry too much about intraday fluctuations. Once you understand this, you've already won.

Well said. Psychological resilience is indeed the Achilles' heel for most people. I've fallen into this trap myself—when the money was small, I would tremble watching the candlestick charts, afraid that a few percent drop would make me sell. In the end, after a year, it was better to just lie down and do nothing.

That's quite right, but the key still depends on the ROI and the mining power yield ratio of the holdings. Small retail investors focusing only on adjusting their mindset is useless; they need to upgrade the trading system itself, just like expanding a mining pool. You can't keep using the old methods forever.

That’s really harsh; psychological resilience is indeed the Achilles' heel for most people.

You're right, the mind is truly the biggest enemy. These past two years, I've been battling my greed and fear.

To be honest, I have a say in this... In my early years, I was the kind of person who couldn't sleep because of floating losses. As a result, during a market wave, my account was wiped out. Now I understand that the real enemy is the pile of garbage emotions in my mind; technical charts and such are just a cover.

To be honest, mindset is indeed a powerful weapon, and I’ve also experienced pitfalls myself. When I was dealing with small amounts, a single limit-down would keep me awake at night. Thinking back, it’s quite embarrassing... The key is that you have to go through several waves of big fluctuations to truly understand.
