Many people ask me a question: I only have a few thousand U.S. dollars, is there still a chance to make it big?
I'll be straightforward—yes. But the key is the precondition.
**The Correct Approach for Small Capital Startups**
Don't think about casting a wide net. Find a potential coin with solid fundamentals and proper technical analysis, and focus your efforts. Take XRP as an example—such coins with real application value have stable fundamentals and enough volatility to be expected.
Divide your funds into 2-3 parts and deploy them simultaneously across 2-3 clear opportunity points. Once the price starts to rise, take back your principal immediately, and let the remaining profits run inside the market. This is the core of "zero-cost holding"—only in this way can you truly sleep peacefully.
**Why Most People Fail**
The reality is clear: spot trading is slow, oscillation cycles are long, and it's easy to get trapped. Most people collapse before reaching profitability—changing strategies randomly, chasing highs and selling lows, becoming increasingly impatient.
The real difficulty with small capital is not finding opportunities but:
- Low win rate, slow account growth - Pursuing high returns, with drawdowns destroying confidence - Going all-in at once and getting washed out by the market
**What Is Missing**
To be blunt: what small capital fundamentally lacks is not a sudden big hit, but a stable rhythm with low drawdowns and continuous compound interest.
And one last thing, which may sound harsh but must be heard: stop thinking "I'll make money when I have a few million." Even a few thousand U.S. dollars can't keep your account stable now, and having tens of thousands will only make you lose faster and worse.
The only way out for small and large funds is these eight words: **Stable, Accurate, Few Mistakes, Continuous Compound Growth**.
In the crypto world, speed is never an advantage; surviving longer is the real competitiveness.

It sounds reasonable, but there are still people who go all-in and turn things around, right? Luck plays a big role.

ngl the "zero cost holding" strategy sounds good on paper but analyzed thoroughly... most people don't actually execute it. they panic sell way too early or fomo back in. red flags detected in the psychology here fr

Basically, it's a mindset issue. If you don't hold onto small money, big money is also wasted.

Honestly, the hardest part is mindset, not finding coins.

That's really hitting home. Right now, this mindset is indeed the biggest enemy.

It's a tough truth, stability is the key... Those who only think about getting rich overnight have already been washed out.

That's so true, the hardest part is definitely the mindset.

Oh dear, it's the same old theory. Basically, you just need to live longer.

It hits close to home. I'm the kind of person who has a few thousand dollars and always hopes for a big turnaround. As a result, I've been shaken out multiple times by chasing highs and selling lows.
