Sometimes, when I see the account growth of some veteran players, I can't help but wonder—if I had that kind of principal to get in early, would I still need to operate so cautiously now?



Taking XRP as an example. Over the years, many investors who accumulated at the bottom have indeed made a fortune. It's not that their operations are particularly brilliant; the key points are twofold: first, they timed it accurately; second, they had enough capital. When these two factors come together, even if you're not a genius, you can achieve a pretty good profit curve.

Looking at most of us, either we entered late or our capital is limited, often forced to shuffle around during volatility. That's why many people look at coins like XRP, understand the logic clearly, but just don't have enough chips to hold.

In investing, luck and capital often determine the upper limit.

Basically, I missed that train, and now I can only rely on my savings. If I had known in 2017, I would have gone all in on XRP, haha, crying. Anyway, as a retail investor like me, I'm just here to be a backrunner. With limited capital, I have to be careful and strategic.

To be honest, those who got in early really just lucked out... I'm still struggling and working hard now. But on the other hand, maybe what we lack isn't just capital, but also that early belief. Coins like XRP have indeed witnessed a group of people's sudden wealth, but most people don't even have the courage to get on board... Instead of worrying about the principal, it's better to think about how to master the current market. Honestly, it's about good luck plus fortune; we have to be ten times smarter than others.

Laughing to death, isn't this just saying me? With insufficient capital, I can only be a white strip in the waves. Honestly, everyone, the early adopters weren't really expert traders; they just got lucky with timing and added more capital. That's what you call fate. Our group of retail investors, we study K-lines every day, calculating like Zhuge Liang, but we're still blocked by the ceiling of our capital. Coins like XRP do seem to have logic, but the money I have is only enough to buy a small fraction. It's exhausting. It's not that I can't do it, but I came late and was born into a poor family. This is systemic harvesting.

Basically, it's just good luck. Early all-in on XRP and lying flat to win; we latecomers can only hold a few thousand yuan and play a heartbeat game with risks. Speaking of which, if you had someone else's principal and timing, you could also close your eyes and sleep while waiting for the returns. The problem is, I can't afford to wait. The bottom-filling players are now counting money, while we are here analyzing charts and laughing. This is the gap, brother. It's not that I'm not smart enough; mainly, my wallet is too thin. Eighty percent luck, twenty percent principal, and the remaining negative one hundred percent is my technical analysis.

To be honest, the group of people who bought the dip early on definitely had fun, but blaming others now is useless. The key is to stay alive and see the next opportunity.

Basically, I missed the boat, and it's no use regretting now. I should have never looked at those veteran players' accounts; the more I look, the more uncomfortable I feel. I've also thought about XRP, but with only this much capital, I can't afford to play. Luck is the key; no matter how skilled your operations are, if your capital isn't enough, it's all for nothing. Instead of envying, it's better to think about how to survive until the next bull market. Those who bought at the bottom are lucky; we just have to accept our fate. Capital determines everything; this is the harsh truth.

Basically, it's just that you missed the early train. Now looking at XRP, it's all tears of regret. The early wave of people indeed got a free ride, but we have to think about it—how many of them truly had a gambler's mentality when they dared to go all-in back then? If your chips aren't enough, don't expect to defy the odds and change your fate. That's the reality.
