If you are always thinking about getting rich overnight, then I advise you to just close this article. What the crypto world lacks the least is fuel like you.
I see many people thinking they can achieve financial freedom in the crypto world with just a few thousand yuan, and I laugh. Isn't that just me three years ago? Fortunately, I wasn't completely eliminated by the market, and I have accumulated some hard lessons. Today, let's not talk about empty words, but discuss how small funds can survive in this brutal market.
Let me set a bottom line: entering the market with 8000 yuan, the goal is not to earn 20 million, but to survive first. Only by living long enough will opportunities come to find you.
Plan one: spot layout, waiting for the right opportunity.
I once tried the first method, which is also the most reliable method: using spot trading to seize trends.
You need to have capital first. If you only have 3000, I strongly recommend you save up to 8000-10000 through work first. Why? Because this gives you at least three opportunities for trial and error. The most common mistake for newcomers in the crypto space is to go all in and then passively wait to break even.
How to buy? I only operate when Bitcoin's weekly line is above MA20; this is the dividing line for trend strength. If it drops below, I stop loss and never hold on stubbornly. Remember, if you have small capital, you should invest in new coins, especially those that emerge during a bear market with heat and stories. Why? Because the growth of major coins cannot support the dreams of small investors.
But never just rush into any 'new coin'. You must check if it has practical applications, whether the team is transparent, and if the community is active. The APT I invested in during the bear market was chosen for its technical background and market heat, and later I sold it for about four times my investment. Although it wasn’t at the highest point, I was already very satisfied.
Core point: use 1/3 of your total capital for trial and error, and resolutely execute stop losses each time. If you catch a fivefold opportunity, do not be greedy; take profits first. If you can catch two or three such opportunities within a cycle, your capital can achieve qualitative leaps. But if you fail three times in a row, believe me, temporarily withdrawing from this market is not a bad thing; work hard to accumulate capital and come back in the next bear market.
Plan two: contract trading, dancing on the edge of a knife.
To be honest, I do not recommend beginners to trade contracts. But if you only have a small amount of capital (like 3000), and you want to quickly learn from mistakes, strict discipline is the only thing that can save you.
I once used 400U (about 3000 yuan) divided into four parts, each 100U for trading. Key rules: only open one position at a time, set stop loss at 20%, set take profit at 100%. For example, if 100U goes to 200U, take profit; if it drops to 80U, stop loss. Do not add positions, do not hold onto losing trades.
If you successfully reach 1100U, start to divide your capital: 70% for spot trading and 30% for contracts. Continue using the same rules for the contract part, while the spot part should choose to dollar-cost average into Bitcoin or Ethereum. This way, even if the contract part incurs losses, you still have a spot base.
I have seen too many people lose all the money they earned in 9 trades because they did not strictly manage their positions. So if you decide to go this route, you must adhere to the following rules:
If you are going in the wrong direction, stop loss immediately; do not wait for a rebound.
Never operate with all your capital.
Do not regret 'earning less' after taking profits.
Only use spare money; never invest borrowed money.
The most important thing is not the strategy, but the mindset.
No matter which plan you choose, continuous learning and risk awareness are fundamental for survival.
When I first entered the market, I couldn't even grasp the basic concepts of blockchain, just thinking about making money quickly, and the results were predictable. Later, I insisted on spending two hours every day learning the basics and keeping up with industry trends, and that’s how I slowly found my way.
What the crypto space lacks is not various 'teachers' and 'insider information'. My experience is: ask less, practice more. Use your own judgment to verify ideas with small capital. Acknowledge losses and summarize gains.
Also, do not put all your eggs in one basket. I am not saying you should buy many types of coins, but you should have a concept of capital allocation. Even for the projects you are most optimistic about, I do not exceed 30% of total capital.
The crypto space is not an easy place to make money; it requires extreme discipline and learning ability. Starting with 8000, the focus is not on how much you can earn, but on learning the market rules at the lowest cost.
I have seen too many people come in with dreams of getting rich, only to leave with regrets. If you cannot strictly execute your strategy and control your emotions, it is better to leave this market early.
Remember, living longer is more important than earning quickly. Today’s crypto space is no longer an era of barbaric growth; only those who respect the market and continue to learn may wait for their own opportunities.
