Newbies often ask me this question: "I only have one or two k USDT, how can I get started in the crypto world?"
My answers can actually be summarized into two ideas:
**The first method**: Find fundamentally sound and technically supported potential coins, and bet all your money on them. This is the All-in gambling method.
**Second Play Style**: Divide the principal into 2-3 parts, while laying out 2-3 imaginative projects. Putting eggs in different baskets will diversify the risk significantly.
But no matter which path you choose, there is a set of unchanging operational logic: **when the market rises, first pull out the principal, and let the remaining profits continue to run**. This is what I often refer to as "zero-cost holding"—the most stable and efficient way for small funds to advance.
The problem arises - the theory is perfect, but reality hits hard.
The pace of spot trading is too slow, making it easy to get stuck, and most people simply cannot wait. No matter how good the strategy is, if it cannot be executed, it is just a decoration.
**The real difficulty with small funds lies here:**
If the win rate is not high, small funds have almost no opportunity for continuous growth. To pursue a high profit-loss ratio, the win rate will inevitably collapse, and frequent retracements can destroy a person's mindset. What small funds actually need is not explosive profits, but low retracements combined with stable compound interest. Whether to go long or short is not important; the ability to sustain profits is the decisive factor. Those who frequently go all-in with heavy positions? Forget it, those who dare to do this have win rates and psychological endurance far beyond average people — your capital cannot bear it.
Here's a possibly heart-wrenching truth:
Stop always thinking "Once I save up 1 million, I will definitely make money." If you can't operate well with just a few thousand now, giving you hundreds of thousands will still lead to losses.
**The only way to multiply small funds:**
Steady and methodical, precise execution, reducing unnecessary mistakes, allowing compound interest to ferment over time. Slow is not a bad thing— in this market, persistence and patience are often worth much more than speed.
