Let's be real about the current crypto landscape. If you're being honest with yourself, Bitcoin is pretty much the only asset that actually deserves your attention—and even that's not exactly a sure thing if you're working with limited funds.

Most altcoins? Noise. The harsh truth nobody wants to hear is that your capital size matters way more than your trading skills when you're starting out. Small-cap plays come with outsized risks, and most retail traders don't have the runway to survive the volatility. Bitcoin at least has institutional backing and genuine scarcity on its side, but even it becomes a tough game when you're undercapitalized.

The market rewards big players. That's just how it works.

You're right, but it sounds so uncomfortable... I am that broke retail investor.

That's right, small investors are just destined to be beaten down.

It's a tough truth to hear, but this is the reality.

That's right, but honestly, the crypto world is just like this. --- If your funds are small, don't think about turning things around; relying on technology? Dream on. --- Tired of hearing it, institutions take the big slices, retail investors get the leftovers—same old story. --- So what should small players do? Just lie flat? --- Altcoins are all traps; at least I'm clear about that. --- It's just a capital game. If you can't play, don't. --- It's the same rhetoric again, but the market is just so cruel.
