Let me say a view that will probably hit a lot of people: many lose money not because they picked the wrong assets, but because they take their small amount of capital and stubbornly sit down at a gambling table that doesn’t belong to them.
If your investable funds are under 100,000 U, and you go play copycat contracts and an early-stage Meme coin—somewhat, I can understand.
At this scale, what really matters is the odds. Earning 10% won’t change your life. Only by catching a run-up with several dozen times the gain do you have a chance to lift your principal to a higher level. But the prerequisite is: don’t add leverage or borrow money, don’t touch your living expenses; if you lose it all, accept it—what will be, will be.
When your capital is in the range of 100,000 to 1,000,000 U, it’s actually better suited for stock-related contracts.
At this stage, you can’t really afford for your principal to be wiped out directly. But if you only trade spot, your returns are also often hard to meet expectations. For targets like Samsung, Hynix, Micron, and SanDisk, when the opportunity arrives, the price swings aren’t any smaller than those of copycat coins.
More importantly, behind them there are real operating results, valuation support, and industry cycle tailwinds. The price action is relatively clean—rarely do you get sudden, inexplicable wicks, fake breakouts, or indicators that mysteriously fail. You can still use contracts to amplify returns, but at least you’re not putting your entire net worth into projects whose teams might run away at any time.
Once your capital reaches several million U and up, there’s no need to prove yourself by relying on high leverage anymore. When your principal is large enough, profits from an ordinary market cycle’s swing already surpass most people’s income for an entire year. At this stage, prioritize liquidity and capital safety—being able to stay in the market consistently is the core goal, and it’s more suitable to allocate into U.S. stock spot.
The two most contradictory, most ridiculous types of people: those who have several million U and go gamble on Meme coins; and those who only have a few thousand U, yet spend every day trying to achieve financial freedom by relying on an 8% annualized return.
