When you first enter the crypto world, your account usually only has a few hundred USDT, and your mind is full of dreams of doubling your money.
Then you start eyeing contracts. Spot trading is too "boring"; only leverage can quickly change your fate.
But in reality? Before the market turns favorable, your funds are often liquidated early.
To be blunt—it's not that your capital is too small, but that you simply don't know how to manage that money.
The same 300 USDT, in the hands of an experienced trader, is a tool; in the hands of an impulsive person, it's a bomb. Chasing rallies, full positions, fantasizing about overnight reversals—those aren't trading, they're gambling.
Most beginners' first mistake is treating their initial funds as a "lifeline to turn things around."
Don't think that way. The most reliable approach is to see it as a "survival test." Learn to stay alive before trying to profit.
Don't rush into contracts; learn to understand market trends, be patient, and wait for opportunities. That's much more important than constantly leveraging.
Always remember: diversify your positions, don't use all your ammunition at once.
Don't have overly wild expectations for returns—turning 300 USDT into 600 USDT already surpasses most people.
Those who survive in the crypto space rarely make big money by single correct calls on the market. How do they build their wealth? By repeatedly avoiding market淘汰, continuously compounding their gains.
Don't complain about slow progress. As long as you're still in this market, the next opportunity will come.

Honestly, seeing full-position Dreamers makes me uneasy. Someone willing to play with 25x leverage with just 300U, I would just block them. If you can't even manage your private keys properly and still want to turn things around with contracts? On-chain data speaks for itself. I've looked at those liquidation addresses, and I've never seen a wallet address that lasted long in the end. Multi-signature wallets, position splitting, risk factors—these basics haven't been mastered. Why should I bet? Compound interest, you see, only works if you're alive.

Ha, you're right. I've seen too many 300U dreamers, all gone within two weeks.
Only when liquidated do I realize that money isn't the issue; it's the mind.
Wait, you say doubling 300 to 600 wins for most people? I love to hear that, but let's be realistic.

Really, I've seen too many people invest 300 yuan and end up with nothing after a week. Greed is truly the poison.
