Many people enter the crypto space and do one thing: guess price movements
Look at K-lines, observe sentiment, listen to news, and then rush in to gamble
As a result, most people's outcomes are the same—losing money
In fact, the logic of making money in the crypto space has never been about guessing direction, but rather about utilizing rules and information asymmetry
Small capital is most afraid of not earning slowly, but of dying quickly
If you only have 3000U, going to play with high leverage and fantasizing about doubling overnight is basically a death sentence
If small capital wants to survive, first establish a solid structure:
2000U for spot trading, only touch the mainstream coins in the top 20 by market cap, don't chase small coin trends
800U specifically for arbitrage, such as exchange price differences and funding rate opportunities
200U kept as spare cash, do not move
Many people overlook a stable method of making money: hedging arbitrage
When certain exchanges show a price difference of 1%+ for BTC, while the funding rate is negative:
Buy spot on one exchange
Open a short position for hedging on another exchange
Not betting on price movements, you earn:
Price difference + funding rate + volatility return
This method is not exciting, but stable
When capital exceeds 20,000U, then start paying attention to new coin opportunities
Those who can truly catch doubling coins do not rely on luck, but on information asymmetry
Project financing, exchange trends, on-chain funds, community heat, these are all more important than K-lines
In summary:
The crypto space is not about who predicts accurately, but who understands the rules better
Those who understand the rules eat meat, while those who don't can only be liquidity.
