Only have 10 yuan and still want to get into crypto? Alright, don’t laugh just yet—hear me out.

First, find a way to gather 73 RMB, which will exchange for exactly 10 USDT. Don’t ask why—that’s your starting line.

What do you do with these 10 USDT? Go half in—use 5 USDT as margin to open a 100x leveraged position, which lets you catch a 0.2 ETH move. Remember, if the price moves 20 points against you, you’re liquidated, so you have to catch at least a 50-point swing before you exit. If you double your money, you’re at 20 USDT, and you still have one chance to make a mistake—if you blow up on your first try, the second round is your last stand.

Let’s assume you’re lucky and get 20 USDT. Keep going: use 10 USDT margin for another round, and if you win, you’re at 40 USDT. Push further, use 20 USDT margin for a third round, and you’ll reach 80 USDT. Three wins in a row and you’ve climbed from 10 USDT to 80 USDT.

Once you hit 80 USDT, change your strategy. Split your funds and only use 10 USDT per trade—you now have eight chances for error. Don’t go all-in at once; take your time and grind up to 200 USDT in a month—it’s doable.

After another month, split into 10 portions and enter the market with 20 USDT each time. At this stage, your goal is 1,000-2,000 USDT. Once you hit 1,000 USDT? Use 20 positions, 50 USDT each. Before 1,000 USDT, use isolated margin and set your stops carefully; after that, you can try full margin but you must manage your risk. At this pace, turning 10 USDT into 1,000 USDT takes about two to three months.

Beyond 1,000 USDT is a different battlefield. Many people fall because of overconfidence—go all-in and lose everything, with no bullets left to recover. If you’re on the wrong side, admit defeat—don’t fight it, cut your losses and start over. There’s no shame in that.

Time is your only ally. If you rush, you’re doomed.
