Always losing money on contracts, and still trying to make a comeback—this is a common problem for many people. But have you ever thought that people with smaller capital are actually more prone to pitfalls than those with large funds?



Take a real-life example. Suppose you have 1 million, and you plan to use 100,000 of it for contracts—that's the typical starting idea for most people. What happens next? Once you taste some success or suffer a few losses, you start to increase your bets continuously. The proportion of contracts占比 gets bigger and bigger, leverage multiples soar, and eventually it turns into gambling.

But looking at the game from the perspective of large capital players is completely different. They don't pursue extreme operations; instead, they follow the trend of the big cycle. The longer the cycle they observe, the higher their win rate naturally becomes. This isn't because they have extraordinary talent, but because they understand a simple principle: the dividends in the crypto world are all within the big cycles.

Those with ample funds also started from small capital in the early days. The key is that they followed the right cycle and avoided the trap of leverage. Now, this bull market is an opportunity. By following the trend and making trades, you'll find that making money isn't actually that difficult.

Currently, many friends in the market have capital between 200,000 and 300,000, and they always feel their capital is too small, constantly comparing themselves to the big players. In fact, your gap isn't at the starting point but in the accumulation of time. Don't think of yourself as too special; accept ordinariness. Those stories of overnight wealth are just stories.

Everyone has gone through this. The difficulties you're experiencing now have been faced by predecessors. It's hard to work in silence alone; following the main crowd is the right way. The direction is already very clear; now it depends on whether you can keep up with the rhythm.

That's right, but executing it is difficult for everyone.

Basically, small funds are easy to get carried away, and once leverage is used, you can't stop the momentum. Making a comeback in contracts sounds simple, but in practice, it's a trap. Getting the right cycle is really more important than anything else; don't always think about going all-in in one shot. The current bull market opportunity is indeed there, but you need to get your mindset right first. The amount of principal isn't really the key; the key is not to ruin yourself. Doing things blindly alone definitely won't work; you need to see how the veterans have gone through it. Instead of chasing quick riches, it's better to stay steady. Right now, it's all about who can stay calm.

You're not wrong; small funds are easily swallowed by leverage.

That's right, the key is to withstand the mental challenges. It's easy to say, but when you actually get into the contract interface, it's still easy to get caught up. Sometimes, matching the right cycle is more important than anything else, but who can really predict the cycle accurately? Without leverage, what's the point of my principal... Now it feels like everyone is just betting on who can survive until the next bull market. This round of the market indeed offers many opportunities, but the lessons learned earlier are also quite profound. Take it slow; anyway, rushing won't change anything.

That's right, small funds are easily tempted by leverage. This is the most common tragedy I see. The mindset of doing contracts is really more important than technology. Being in the right cycle is more valuable than anything else. Just listen to how the big players survive. Getting rich overnight is just a fleeting thought. It's really just a lack of patience. It's a matter of time, not a starting point issue.

You're so right. I'm the kind of person who starts with 100,000 and keeps adding more as I lose, now I regret it so much that I feel sick.

That's right, it's easy to understand but hard to do.

They are all correct, but execution is too difficult. --- Another bandwagon story, but what about reality? --- I understand the big cycle too, but I always hesitate to cut losses. --- I've listened to this theory for three years, and I'm still losing everything. --- I just want to know how to align with the right cycle, that's the real challenge. --- Having little capital is the original sin; joking around won't change anything. --- Leverage is like a drug, the kind you can't quit. --- If that's your way of thinking, I should have been rich long ago. --- I've heard "accept being ordinary" too many times. --- The problem is how to find that big crowd.

Well said. Small funds are easily swayed, and those who go all-in in one shot often end up like this.

According to research, there is a clear logical flaw in this article—it confuses "following the right cycle" with "funding scale." It is worth noting that from a technical perspective, the leverage risk of small account funds and the systemic risk of large account funds are actually two different issues and cannot be directly compared.
