#大户持仓动态 Someone asked me, with just over 800, around 1,000, is there still a way to survive with this amount of money in the crypto world?
I won't beat around the bush—there are some. But the key is that the first step must be the right one.
The most common mistake when starting with small amounts of money is wanting to touch everything. Don't do that. Focus on a coin with strong fundamentals and mature technicals, concentrate your efforts on it, and the results will be completely different.
Divide the funds into 2 to 3 parts and lay out 2 to 3 clear opportunities. As soon as one rises, withdraw the principal immediately, and let the remaining profits run in the market.
This is the concept of "zero-cost position"—the only way for small retail investors to sleep soundly.
But what is the reality?
Spot trading is slow, with repeated fluctuations, and if you're not careful, you'll get trapped. The vast majority of people lose their composure before the profits really start to materialize. Then they begin to arbitrarily adjust their strategies, chase after rising prices, sell on dips, and become increasingly impatient.
In fact, the difficulty for small funds is not in the lack of opportunities, but in these few pitfalls:
Low win rate, the account can't grow;
Pursuing high returns can shatter your mindset with just one big drawdown.
Getting eager and heavily investing, a single mistake can lead to being taken away by the market directly.
To put it bluntly, what small funds lack the most is not the opportunity for a big hit, but rather a rhythm that can achieve stable growth, low drawdowns, and compound interest.
This may sound uncomfortable, but you really need to hear it:
Stop waiting for things like "When I have a few million, I can make money." If you can't even hold on to a few thousand, having hundreds of thousands will only lead to faster and more serious losses.
The way for small funds to turn around is just these eight characters, there is no ninth character:
Stable, accurate, few mistakes, continuous compounding.
In the crypto world, speed does not guarantee survival; true skill lies in longevity. Many people frantically chase quick profits in the early stages, only to end up bankrupt.
If you are still walking in the dark right now - frequently stepping into pitfalls, having a chaotic rhythm, and lacking reliable information channels - it is time to change your mindset. Establish your own system and follow the right rhythm to survive in this market.

There’s nothing wrong with what you said, just afraid that too few people will actually take it in.
Anyway, those small investors around me really have a hard time with their mindset.
The strategy of zero-cost holdings is indeed brilliant, but it takes a lot of determination to execute it.
Mindset is more valuable than strategy.
I’ve already been educated about going all in twice.
Stop messing around; maintaining the rhythm is the way to go.
I just want to know, how many people can truly stick to those eight words?

You are right, stability is the key.
Chasing the price is too easy, but holding on is the hardest.
Honestly, I've seen too many people make money and then lose it all.
This mindset is harder to fix than the technique.
Right now, I'm trying out this "zero-cost" approach, and it seems quite reliable.
However, it still depends on whether I can withstand that turbulent period...

honestly the "zero cost position" framing is just repackaged risk management disguised as alpha... but yeah execution matters more than capital size

You're right, it's the mindset that collapses the fastest.

That's right, but I'm afraid that even if we know, we still can't do it.
