#密码资产动态追踪 I often get asked by beginners: I only have a couple of thousand dollars, how can I survive in this market?



My advice is straightforward: select 1-2 fundamentally solid projects and focus your deployment; or split your principal into 2-3 parts to create a small diversified portfolio to spread risk. No matter what you choose, the ultimate secret is this — once the project takes off, withdraw your principal immediately, and let the remaining profits run on their own. This is called "zero-cost holding," and it’s also the safest way for small funds to operate.

But reality is always harsh. Spot trading moves at a snail’s pace, easily trapping people, and most can’t endure this process, leading to broken plans.

The real dilemmas faced by small funds:
1. No high win rate, growth becomes a luxury
2. Pursuing high reward-to-risk ratio, win rate inevitably collapses, and drawdowns can crush your mindset
3. What’s truly needed is: low drawdown + stable compound interest
4. Short-term or long-term isn’t the key; the key is whether you can keep earning
5. Heavy positions are absolutely taboo — those who dare do so are either invincible in win rate or have extraordinary psychological resilience

Finally, this might be a bit harsh: don’t daydream every day about "waiting until I have hundreds of thousands to turn things around." If you can’t manage a few thousand now, even a million will end up losing.

The only true way out for small funds is — steady deployment, precise entries, reducing trial and error, and letting compound interest snowball. In this market, slow and steady beats speed; living long enough is itself a way to accumulate wealth.

It's quite a harsh truth, but that's just how honesty is. I also started with small funds, and what I fear most is going all-in with heavy positions. A single pullback can instantly blow up my mentality, leading me to chase highs and sell lows, sinking deeper and deeper. The zero-cost holding strategy is really effective, but the key is to endure that painful period.

In simple terms, small funds require patience. Most people fail here.

Zero-cost holding sounds great, but in reality, most people can't even reach the step of withdrawing their principal.

That's right, but the reality is that most people won't live to see the day of compound interest.

That's so heartbreaking, this is human nature... The real killer is when you can't hold on.

That really hits home, but execution is just too difficult... I can't hold on anymore.

To be honest, I've heard this theory many times, but very few people actually implement it. The key is still mindset; no matter how perfect a method is, if your mindset collapses, everything is ruined.
