Over the years in the crypto world, I’ve realized that many people share a common misconception: if you have less capital, you have no chance. In fact, the biggest risk isn’t about how much money you have, but whether you believe you have a chance.

"Too little capital to play effectively"—I’ve heard this too many times, but honestly, it’s just self-imposed limitations. If making money only depended on large funds, ordinary people would have no place in this market long ago.

On the contrary, small funds actually have unique advantages. What are they? Flexibility. Quick entry and exit, low trial-and-error costs, and the ability to adjust strategies at any time. Large funds involve millions, making every move cumbersome. With a few hundred or thousand dollars, we can adjust freely—this is a natural advantage.

Speaking of which, I started with just a few hundred U. At that time, like most people, I would go all-in impulsively, and when the market moved, I’d get wiped out. Only later did I realize that the real enemy of small funds isn’t the market, but the impatient, profit-driven mindset. Large funds profit through scale, while small funds need to rely on strategy and patience.

There’s another interesting aspect in the crypto space: participating in testnet interactions, ecosystem projects, etc., can almost be done at zero cost, allowing you to accumulate experience and even earn airdrops. That’s why I always recommend beginners start with small funds, understand the market logic first.

So, how exactly should you do it? Suppose you have 100U and want to turn it into 1000U. The question is: should you go all-in and bet 10x at once, or do it step by step? My approach is straightforward—break the big goal into achievable smaller goals.

For example, first aim to turn 100U into 300U, divided into three rounds, each with a profit target of 30%. This way, you can control risk and also experience a sense of achievement at each stage, keeping your mindset stable. Once 100U is safely turned into 300U, then push from 300U to 900U. Step by step, snowballing is much more reliable than gambling everything on a single shot.
