The capital requirement myth deserves a reality check. You don't necessarily need massive funds to trade crypto effectively. Here's what actually matters: overtrading drains your account faster than lack of capital ever could. Instead, focus on intelligent pair selection—finding coins with the right volatility and liquidity for your strategy. Time spent in trades beats rush entries and exits. Building an efficient structure around your approach separates consistent performers from those who burn out. It's not about throwing money at the market; it's about making each dollar count through smart execution and discipline.

ngl, this is the truth. I've seen too many people throw in a few thousand dollars just to double their money, only to have their accounts wiped out within a week. The key isn't really about having more or less money; it's about whether you can control yourself and avoid reckless actions.

That's a good point, but I've seen too many people treat "discipline" as just talk, only to be ultimately controlled by their emotions.

That's right, I've seen too many people throw money in only to be killed by overtrading.

Discipline and execution are the true moat. The amount of funds really isn't that important.

Well said, that's the truth. I've seen too many people spend a few thousand yuan just to get rich overnight, only to lose it all in a month. The key is really self-discipline, not how much capital you have.

To be honest, I agree with this view. I've seen too many people invest a few thousand dollars and get liquidated in just three days. On the other hand, those who make steady profits are usually carefully selected assets that are gradually built up.

To be honest, this article hits the pain point of overtrading... I've seen too many people burn through money just because they impulsively trade frequently.
