Honestly, many newcomers to the crypto world stumble because of one main reason—being too impatient.

They know nothing and jump in dreaming of making big gains, failing even at the simplest principle of "not losing while alive." #美联储FOMC会议 's surge, $PEPE 's rebound... watching others make profits, they just can't sit still.

My advice is: start with a small account. 200 or 300 dollars is enough.

This capital isn't for making money. Really. Its purpose is to train your execution and mindset. Write down your plan and follow it—don't change your mind on the spot, and don't go all-in. Can you handle this small position steadily without getting liquidated? Congratulations, you're already ahead of 90% of people.

Some rely solely on self-exploration? Not to deceive you, but nine out of ten will end up crying out. Having an experienced person guiding you? You can avoid half the pitfalls. Then gradually increase your position size. But at this stage, your mindset is most vulnerable—getting cocky when you win, panicking when you lose. The real dividing line is here: stay clear-headed when making money, and don't go crazy when losing—this is what it means to truly get started.

The most dangerous trap is treating trading like gambling. The market loves this—occasionally letting you win a couple of rounds, making you think you've found the secret, then suddenly turning around and throwing you out.

Always, always respect the market.

Once you truly stabilize, then consider increasing your position size. For beginners, earning 8,000 or 10,000 dollars is already the ceiling. Don't think you can become rich overnight. The market is always there; there's no need to rush. The more impatient you are, the faster you'll lose. Keep your mindset and positions steady—don't overtrade or give up prematurely. Opportunities will come eventually. Those who truly make money are never the fastest-handed, but the ones who can stay calm the longest.
