Retail investors with small funds, relying on buying mainstream coins for financial freedom? Reality tells you: it's very difficult

Many newcomers enter the market with their first choice being to buy mainstream coins,

BTC, ETH, or even BNB, SOL……

Imagining: “If I hold for a year or two and it multiplies several times, I’ll be free.”

But to be brutally honest: relying on small funds to hoard mainstream coins for financial freedom is likely a pipe dream. Why?

✅ The market cap of mainstream coins is too large, with limited growth potential.

Think about it, for a coin that already has a market cap of hundreds of billions of dollars,

how much capital is needed to double it? The difficulty and time cost are something ordinary people cannot bear.

BTC rising from 30k to 60k looks like a double, but how many corrections, halving, and fluctuations in market sentiment do you have to endure in between?

✅ The time span is too long.

A complete bull market, from start to peak, takes at least a year, or at most three to four years.

Ask yourself honestly: can you really hold on? Will you not change positions, not cut losses, not chase trends midway?

When the market is stagnant, you can’t stand the boredom of sideways trading; when the market crashes,

you can’t endure the panic of retracement; when the market surges,

you can’t resist the temptation to sell early.

✅ Small fund volume can’t even handle the volatility; even if it truly doubles,

$1000 becomes $2000, $10,000 becomes $20,000, how far are you from freedom? Do the math yourself.

What is the only way for retail investors to make a comeback? To put it simply, it’s two words: rhythm!

Initially rely on segment trading, rolling positions, and short-term fluctuations to turn small money into large money,

and once the principal is thick enough, switch to a low-risk, low-volatility holding strategy.

If you want to get rich by hoarding coins, you must first have a large position of “idle money that can last for years without needing cash.”

Otherwise, simply holding small funds will likely result in not being able to hold on, not enduring, and not making a profit.

Summary: Mainstream coins are stable, not fast. The real comeback for retail investors has never relied on “holding back big moves,”

but rather on: capital management + segment trading + rhythm execution + emotion control.
