I have seen quite a few interesting people. Some entered the market with less than 3000 yuan in capital, constantly shouting about wanting to 'turn the tables and make a comeback.' Initially, they knew nothing, chasing after rises and cutting losses on dips. After two months of this, they were left with just a small amount, anxiously seeking my advice. I told them: Don't always fantasize about getting rich overnight; treat this small capital as 'training money' first. You must protect your principal to wait for real opportunities. Guess what happened? After a year, they managed to multiply their small funds several times through steady and methodical approaches.
In fact, the cryptocurrency market has never been a 'game exclusive to the rich.' Even with small funds, one can still play creatively. The key is to follow the right methods and avoid pitfalls. Today, I will share my survival insights from these years in detail; they are all practical and actionable tips.
1. Stay true to your original intention: First, think clearly about 'why you are here'.
Many people rush in after getting heated, seeing others make money without clarifying what they want for themselves. First, ask yourself two questions: Do you want to achieve long-term goals with this, or just make a quick buck in the short term? Different goals mean completely different strategies.
If you want to do this long-term, you need to calm down and learn the basics, starting with moving averages and trading volume, and slowly establish your own trading system; if it's short-term speculation, then keep a close eye on hot trends, but never blindly follow the crowd. Remember, if the direction is wrong, the harder you try, the more you lose. If your original intention is steady, you won't be dragged around by the market.
2. Recognize danger zones: Avoid stepping into these traps.
The most common thing in the cryptocurrency circle is 'traps', especially for small funds. Stepping into one pit may completely ruin your chances. Remember these danger zones:
The 'sure win' situation: If someone tells you 'guaranteed profit' or 'zero risk', it’s mostly a scam. If it were truly guaranteed to make money, they wouldn’t need to drag you in.
Air targets, funding schemes: Those who can't even write a clear white paper and rely solely on recruiting investors for returns are basically 'harvesters of retail investors', entering is just taking over the losses.
Chasing highs without thinking: When you see a certain target suddenly skyrocketing, rushing in without considering valuation or trends is no different from 'gambling'. What rises quickly can fall even faster.
To survive, first learn to 'avoid traps', which is more important than anything else.
3. Bull market tactics: The 'turnaround window' for small funds.
A bull market is the easiest stage for small funds to leap forward, but it’s also the easiest to get greedy and crash. Remember three core points to significantly increase your chances of seizing opportunities:
1. Invest in new rather than old, but discern authenticity: In a bull market, new tracks and concepts can easily present opportunities, but you must check if the project has actual implementation scenarios and avoid purely speculative 'air concepts'.
2. Diversify your investment across hot sectors: Don’t put all your money into one target. Divide your capital into 3-5 portions and invest in 2-3 current hot sectors, like the previous AI and RWA, to disperse risk while capturing the main upward trends.
3. Be decisive with profit-taking and loss-cutting: In a bull market, market fluctuations are large. Don’t be greedy once you’ve made money; if you reach your target, secure your profits promptly. If you end up buying the wrong one, don’t hesitate to cut losses; don’t think 'it might rebound'. Preserving your capital gives you the next opportunity.
In a bull market, catching one or two real potential targets and holding on patiently often yields returns that exceed expectations when market sentiment explodes.
4. Bear market tactics: Go with the trend, don’t force it.
In a bear market, it's most taboo to 'hold onto losing positions'. Many people lose more and more in a bear market, eventually breaking down and selling at the lowest point. The correct approach is to 'go with the trend':
You can moderately use contract tools to short, but don’t set the leverage too high; 3-5 times is enough. High leverage in a bear market can lead to liquidation with just a small rebound. Additionally, pay more attention to the macro environment and industry policies; at the end of a bear market, there are often signals of favorable policies or capital influx, which are key turning points in the cycle. Capturing these signals can provide good opportunities to buy at the bottom.
In a bear market, you need to 'endure'. Operate less, learn more, and preserve your strength to wait for the bull market's arrival.
5. Mindset is more important than anything: Discipline is more important than 'magic trades'.
Finally, I want to tell everyone: There are market movements every day, but the capital is limited. For small funds to turn the tables, it’s not about occasionally hitting a 'magic trade', but about strict discipline.
Be ruthless with stop-losses; when you reach your preset stop-loss point, don’t make any excuses, exit immediately. Be quick with profit-taking; don’t always think 'just a little more', securing profits is real money. No matter how much the market fluctuates, as long as you maintain discipline, you won't suffer catastrophic losses. As long as you can survive, there will always be opportunities to make money.
The cryptocurrency circle has never been a place for 'luck'. If you have a steady mindset, can avoid traps, understand the rhythm, and observe discipline, even small funds can steadily progress and earn for a long time.
