#比特币与黄金战争 $ETH Recently, I've received many messages from fans asking the same question—if you only have a few thousand yuan, how can you get started in the crypto world?

My thoughts have always been the same:

Either focus on a project with solid fundamentals and technical indicators, put your funds into it, and aim for a big return. Or split this money into two or three parts, allocating them to the sectors you believe in, which can effectively spread risk.

No matter which option you choose, the core logic is the same—when the target asset rises, withdraw the principal immediately, and let the remaining profits continue to grow inside. Holding a zero-cost position to operate is the most stable and fastest way for small funds to upgrade.

The problem is, reality is often harsh. Spot trading is very slow-paced and easy to get trapped, and most people can't afford to wait like that. In the end, ambitions often fade away.

The real difficulty for small funds lies in the lack of a sufficiently high win rate; money simply can't grow. To achieve higher odds, you have to accept a lower win rate, which can easily cause your mindset to be shaken by market volatility.

What small funds truly need is to control drawdowns and pursue stable compound returns. Going long or short isn't the key; the key is whether you can consistently make money steadily. Overleveraging is a big taboo—those who dare to heavily leverage usually have trading skills and psychological resilience far beyond ordinary traders.

Here's some tough love—don't always dream that once you have a million, you'll automatically start making money. If you can't even manage a few thousand, having tens of thousands won't change that—they'll just be lost again.

To grow small funds into something bigger, there's only one way: steady and sure, with precise entries, minimizing mistakes, and ensuring each profit is used to compound.

In this market, slow is fast; living long-term is more important than rushing to make quick gains. As long as you survive, you're already making money.

Well said, the key is still the mindset issue; too many people are impatient. Once the principal is back, withdraw immediately—this move is foolproof. Don’t ask me how I do it; I just live this way. Those who are heavily invested are all impulsive, not experts. A few thousand yuan can make money, and even a million can achieve steady compound growth; the reverse is also true. Living is the primary goal; making money is just an added bonus. Hey, how many people can still stick to this pace now? Stable compound growth is the way to go; don’t listen to those who shout signals and talk nonsense. Reality is cruel; most people won’t see the day when prices rise.

It sounds a bit like a patchwork, but it really hits many people's pain points. The spot slow part is truly outstanding; most people haven't even reached that point before their mentality collapses. --- I agree with the part about heavy positions; not everyone has that kind of resolve. --- Honestly, the most heartbreaking thing is the last sentence—"Can't even handle a few thousand, useless even with a million," that’s a bit harsh. --- Being slow is actually fast... I've heard this many times, but it's really hard to truly do it, right? --- Withdrawing the principal is indeed a practical move; the mentality of zero-cost positions is vastly different, but the problem is most people can't wait for that moment. --- Compound interest sounds simple just by hearing it, but in practice, there are too many temptations to overcome, easy to collapse. --- Instead of diversifying, it’s more about whether your judgment of the track is ruthless enough; being timid and diversifying won't help no matter how much. --- It sounds good, but in reality, the crypto world still relies heavily on luck; stable compound interest is just an ideal state. --- Surviving is already making money; this perspective is indeed different, much more comfortable than those shouting for instant wealth all day.

That hits home, it's exactly us retail investors being talked about. --- Trying to turn around a few thousand bucks, just listen and forget it, most people don't even have the right mindset. --- I love the idea of zero-cost positions, but the key is whether you can really withdraw the principal haha. --- Now I can't accept losing a few thousand bucks, even if you gave me a million, I might collapse too. --- Slow is fast, this is really true; living is more important than anything. --- Compound interest sounds simple when you talk about it, but actually being precise with every trade... it's hard. --- Contracts are actually clearer, spot trading is always tangled in whether to cut losses or not. --- Low win rate is the death trap for small funds; relying on luck to turn things around is impossible. --- I just want to ask, how many people can truly control the desire to hold heavy positions? --- Those who hold heavy positions really have extraordinary mental resilience; ordinary people playing this can easily break down.

That's really something. The biggest pitfall for small investors is always trying to turn things around in one shot... Trying to emulate Soros with ten thousand yuan results in a complete wipeout. That's the most honest advice I've seen. Compound interest sounds simple, but sticking with it is actually harder than finding the next hundredfold coin... The same old saying, surviving is winning. Don't talk to me about dreams of ten times in a year. Survive the bear market first.
