The most common question I get lately is: "I only have 1000U or 2000U, how can I stand firm in this market?"

My answer has always been the same: find solid fundamentals and technical setups in potential coins, like $CHZ, $ACM, and the like, focus your efforts, and first earn your initial capital.

Of course, you can also split your money into 2-3 parts, and strategically position in several promising projects, using diversification to hedge risks.

But no matter what you choose, there is one principle you must stick to: once the market starts to rise, withdraw your principal first, and let the profits continue to run in the market. This is called "zero-cost holding"—small funds in the crypto space is the safest and most stable way to progress.

But reality is harsh. Spot trading is inherently slow and easy to get caught in traps. Most people lack the patience to wait, and no matter how good the tactics are, it’s all for nothing if you can’t stick it out.

The real challenges for small funds are actually just a few:

**Maintaining a high win rate is very difficult**, so the growth of your capital naturally slows down. Pursuing a high risk-reward ratio means sacrificing win rate, and frequent drawdowns can crush your mindset.

**What do small funds need most?** Low drawdowns and stable compound growth, not rushing to make quick profits.

**Is it about long-term or short-term?** Neither is the key; consistent profitability is the real hard rule.

**Overleveraging is a big taboo.** Those who dare to heavily leverage either have win rates far above average or possess extraordinary risk tolerance. Beginners who try this are almost certain to blow up.

There’s a phrase that might sound uncomfortable, but it’s the truth: don’t always think "once I save up 100K U, I can just relax and earn passively."

If you haven’t figured out how to grow a few thousand U, then even if you get a few hundred thousand later, you’ll probably lose it all in the end. There’s no shortcut to turning small funds into big ones—only steady, disciplined progress: every trade must be precise, reduce unnecessary mistakes, and stick to the logic of compound growth.

In the crypto world, "slow is fast." Surviving longer is itself a way of making money; endurance is always more important than speed.

I used to stumble around in the dark, but now I have a light in my hand. That light has been shining all along—are you coming or not?
