Starting with a small amount of money to get into the crypto world, where do two or three thousand USD begin?



My consistent idea is:
Focus on a small coin with solid fundamentals and a pleasing K-line pattern, and go all in. Not feeling secure? Split it into two or three parts, and invest in the projects you truly believe in. This also helps diversify risk.

No matter how you allocate, remember the most important point:
When it rises, withdraw the principal immediately, and let the profits keep rolling in.
With a zero-cost position, you'll feel more secure and be able to hold onto the gains.

The reality is:
Spot trading is slow-paced, easy to get stuck in long-term positions, and most people can't hold on for more than a few months, causing plans to fall apart.

The hurdle for small funds:
Low win rate, money can't grow;
If you chase high returns, the win rate drops, and market fluctuations can shatter your mindset.

So, the most genuine need for small funds:
Low drawdown, stable compounding—don't think about getting rich overnight.
Long-term or short-term doesn't really matter; what's key is continuous profit generation.

Heavy position? That's a big trap.
Those who dare to go all-in usually have a win rate and mental resilience far beyond ordinary.

Don't fool yourself into thinking, "Once I save up a million, I can make money."
If you can't handle a few thousand USD now, even ten times that will just lead to losses.

Turning small money into big money has only one way:
Steady and sure, accurate choices, avoid basic mistakes, and let profits accumulate little by little.

In this market, slow is actually fast. Living long is more valuable than running fast.
Being able to stay at the table consistently is itself a way to make money.

Exactly right, it's just stubbornly holding on with a bad attitude, watching others multiply tenfold in a few months, while I still have two or three thousand USD and am hesitating over which coin to buy.

Everyone is right, but execution is extremely difficult. Very few people can truly withdraw the principal, most are still greedy and self-destructive.

You're right, but truly capable people are few and far between. I've heard the term "zero-cost position" countless times, but every time I try to execute it, I fail. For most people, it's really a mindset issue; even a few thousand yuan can create psychological shadows. Living long enough can indeed lead to profit, but the problem is most people won't make it that far. I agree with this theory, but the key is that everyone knows it, yet no one can do it. The reality is to sell immediately when bullish, but just a few days later, it takes off, and the mindset is shattered. Stable compound interest sounds simple, but in practice, it's endless self-torture. Those who heavily leverage—are their win rates super high? I think only those who survive are bragging. People who stick to this pace should be wealthy by now. Small amounts of money are tools to test human nature; making money is secondary, mindset is first. No matter how correct you are, it’s useless; in the end, you still have to understand these yourself.

To be honest, the idea of zero-cost positions is really brilliant, but most people just can't stick with it. Spot trading is indeed very exhausting. I've seen many friends give up after just a few months and jump into leverage trading. The key is attitude. If you can't handle small amounts well, don't think about turning things around. Living long is winning. This sounds simple, but it's deadly to actually implement. Now I remember, this logic is actually the compound interest concept in life, but people in the crypto world are easily consumed by greed. Being able to sit still is truly valuable, but those who can't are always the majority.

That's so true, it's all about mindset. I used to chase quick double-ups too, and ended up losing so much I was vomiting blood. The worst thing now is seeing others make huge profits while I'm stuck holding the bag. Zero-cost positions are truly a brilliant strategy, making it more stable. Many people just can't endure those few months; my friend has already given up.
