After playing for so many years, I've seen too many people lose everything due to impulsiveness, and I’ve paid my own tuition many times. Today, I want to honestly share a few truths: if you want to steadily grow your small capital, don’t waste time dreaming of a hundredfold miracle coin; the key is to find the right path that suits you.

The toughest time was at the beginning. Following the crowd and shouting to buy in, I had no resistance to the "get rich overnight" stories about contract leverage. Slight market fluctuations would blow my positions up. The most outrageous moment was when I followed a so-called "big V" to buy a project claiming to change the world, only to have them run off directly, the coin’s value dropping to zero, and my hard-earned principal evaporating in an instant.

That period was indeed tough, but I have to thank these lessons. They made me realize the most critical point: the most frightening thing in the crypto world isn’t losing money once, but dying hard on the wrong track. Many people stare at the charts every day, study all kinds of indicators until their eyes turn red, but if they choose the wrong direction from the start, the more effort they put in, the more they lose.

From the paths I’ve personally tried, looking back, the most practical ones for new players are these:

**First: Spot Trading — The Most Secure Choice**

Simply put, buy mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum at low points and sell at high points. This should be the basic skill every beginner starts with. Why? Because the risk can be controlled, and you don’t have to play the heartbeat game with leverage experts. Most of my big gains now come from this—setting proper take-profit and stop-loss levels, buying when it dips, sleeping when it rises, without being tied to the market all day.
