After ten years in the crypto world, I've seen many come chasing the dream of quick wealth, only to leave in disappointment.

If you're just starting out and have $10,000 in spare cash (about 1500U), remember this: don't rush into spot trading.

Even if you hit a bull market and multiply your investment by 7, you'll only end up with $70,000, which is less than a few months' salary, yet you'll have to monitor the market day and night. The risk-to-reward ratio is too low. While buying BTC and ETH at the bottom during a bear market and holding them long-term is certainly safe, no one wants to settle for such small gains.

An experienced trader once advised me: understand contracts, and you'll understand the crypto world.

I recommend starting with $100 to trade contracts, using 50-100x leverage, and never opening a position larger than 10% of your capital—let this $100 teach you the thrill of doubling your investment and the suffocation of losing it all, which will shatter your preconceived notions about money; that's the most valuable tuition you can pay.

Then add another $100 to practice naked candlestick analysis, identify support and resistance, backtest your signal's win rate, and combat your own greed and fear: itching to trade against the trend, making small profits while enduring significant losses, is an inevitable part of the learning process.

Once you advance, study human psychology, understand market sentiment through candlestick charts, and then touch upon the core—mathematics. Contracts are not gambling; they are about controlling win rates and profit-loss ratios. Using limited stop losses to seek high returns is the mindset of a professional.

The crypto contract market never rewards the smartest; it only favors those who are patient and disciplined. After enduring the refinement of experience, skills, mindset, and mathematics with a few hundred U, one can finally grasp the weight of the saying 'one day in crypto is like a year in reality.'

Finally, the iron rule: only enter the market with money you can afford to lose.

In this market, surviving long is a thousand times more important than making money quickly.
