Many people in the crypto circle have a misconception—thinking that without sufficient capital, they can't play and that making money is a contest of whose principal is thicker. But if that were true, retail investors would have been out long ago.
In fact, small capital is not a problem at all; the real issue lies in the strategy. I've seen too many people start to go all-in with just a few hundred dollars, hoping to turn things around in one shot. The result is either chasing high and getting caught, or rushing to cut losses. This approach is no different from gambling—one misstep can mean starting over.
I once helped a friend change his trading mindset. He initially only had about 100U, watching the market daily, chasing rallies and selling off dips, with his account constantly shrinking. Later, I suggested he adopt a different approach—the "slow rolling" strategy. No gambling, no rushing; each trade aiming for small profits of 30U or 50U, focusing on whether he can consistently and steadily repeat the process.
In the first round, he grew his account to 160U; in the second, it broke through 200U. From the third round onward, he learned to lock in profits timely—taking half of the gains off the table and continuing to operate with the rest. At first, he thought this was too slow, but as his funds gradually increased, his mindset became more stable.
The core of rolling positions is controllability. With a lighter position, even if a judgment is wrong, losses are limited; with a steady rhythm, opportunities to make money will naturally come knocking. I do the same myself—main position for stability, secondary position for rolling, profits immediately cashed out, never chasing highs or guessing tops and bottoms.
Ultimately, having little capital is not really scary; what's most frightening is operating recklessly without a plan. Think through every step, repeat doing the right things—this is a hundred times more reliable than dreaming of quick riches.
