The most common question in the backend is: "I only have 800 or 1000 yuan, how do I get started in the crypto market?" Today, I will thoroughly explain this most rooted and practical issue.



My advice has always been the same: find projects with solid fundamentals and good technical analysis, and focus your investments. Alternatively, divide your funds into 2 to 3 parts, and allocate to 2 to 3 promising targets, using diversification to hedge risks. No matter which path you choose, the underlying logic is the same — when the price rises, withdraw the principal first, and let the profits continue to grow. This is "zero-cost holding," and it’s the safest and most efficient way for small funds to advance.

But reality is always harsh. Spot trading is slow and easy to get trapped, and most people can't sit still — so strategies often fail.

The real dilemma small funds face:

Low win rate means growth will fall behind. Pursuing high returns can drag down the win rate, and frequent drawdowns can destroy your mindset. Small funds actually need low drawdowns combined with stable compound growth. Whether short-term or long-term isn’t the issue; the key is whether you can sustain profitability. Some people tend to heavily concentrate their positions, but those who dare to do so have win rates and psychological resilience far beyond ordinary.

This statement may be harsh, but it’s 100% true — don’t always think "once I save up 50,000, I can start making money." If you can’t handle a few thousand now, having 50,000 won’t help; it will only lead to bigger losses.

The only way for small funds to turn around: steadily progress, make precise moves, reduce mistakes, and stick to compound growth. In this market, "slow" is "fast"; endurance is always more important than speed. Being able to survive is already making money.

Well said, you need to control your mindset and avoid impulsively making frequent trades.

honestly the "zero cost hold" recipe is the real seasoning here, not the capital size talk

That's really hitting home; I'm just afraid people won't listen.
