Ethereum(ETH) market is so hot, someone always asks me—what should I do if I only have a few thousand bucks?

My advice is actually quite simple. Either focus your efforts on a promising coin with solid fundamentals and technicals, using concentrated investment to aim for your first profit; or diversify your bets by splitting your funds into two or three projects you believe in, balancing risk.

Whichever path you choose, the core logic is the same—once it rises, take out your principal first, and let the remaining profits continue to grow. Holding a zero-cost position is the safest and fastest way for small funds to progress.

But reality often hits hard. Spot trading is slow, easy to get trapped, and most people simply can't endure this process, making their plans ultimately invalid.

Where is the real dilemma for small funds? If the win rate isn't high, the principal can't grow. To improve odds, the win rate must inevitably decrease. Repeated fluctuations can easily mess with your mindset.

What small funds truly need is low drawdown and stable compound growth. Doing long-term or short-term isn't the key; whether you can keep making money is the core. Overleveraging is a big taboo—those who dare to heavily invest usually have a win rate and psychological resilience far beyond ordinary traders.

To be blunt, don’t always think that once I save up a million, I’ll start making money. If you can't do well with just a few thousand now, even with hundreds of thousands, you'll lose just as fast.

The only way for small funds to turn around is steady, cautious steps—accurate entries, minimizing mistakes, and persistently letting profits compound. In this market, slow is fast; surviving longer is always more valuable than rushing. Being able to stay alive is already making money.

Keep paying attention to market trends; in this circle, survival itself is a win.
