Many newcomers have a common dream — that others can get rich quickly, and they can too. But honestly, is this idea reliable?

The data is quite sobering: invest 1000 yuan, and 900 yuan is gone within 12 months. It sounds exaggerated, but this is indeed a common scenario in the crypto world.

Where exactly is the problem?

First, lack of knowledge. Not even able to distinguish between BTC and meme coins, yet daring to go all-in on contracts. Unable to read candlestick charts, relying solely on intuition to chase rallies and sell in dips. As a result, fees silently eat away your principal, and your account gets smaller and smaller.

Second, mindset. Always wanting to get rich overnight — such a thing hardly exists. The market is so brutal that greedy people often die the fastest.

To surpass most people, it’s actually not difficult — just use a simple method: try with 10% of your idle funds, and be mentally prepared that this money might be lost entirely. Then, just wait. When real opportunities come, patient people will profit. Of course, as the RWA market continues to expand and tokenization trends persist, proper asset allocation is indeed more important than rushing.

That's too true. 90% of beginners go all-in without understanding this point. --- The hidden killer of fees, it eats away at how much principal people have no idea. --- Lack of knowledge and still dare to trade contracts, isn't that asking for death? --- Wait, should I try with 10% or go all in directly? The question has been raised. --- The biggest scam in the crypto world is "others can make money, so can I." Listen, believe it, and you're done. --- Let's not talk about RWA for now; first, you need to adjust your mindset. --- Is it so hard to tell the truth? But it is indeed the prerequisite for surviving in the crypto world. --- The story of turning 1000 into 100 is played out every day, and when you open your eyes, it's all around. --- Greed kills quickly. I've seen too many vivid examples of this.

I think this is just naked reality. 90% of people come in aiming for overnight wealth, then get badly educated by the market. The 10% trial method my brother mentioned does make sense, but the key is that most people simply can't do it. As soon as there's a slight movement, they go all-in. Can't tell the difference between BTC and altcoins but still dare to trade futures—that's just asking for death... Patience and waiting are the hardest, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon quickly. Honestly, RWA is indeed the right direction, but it's not something you can just bet on and make money.

Honestly, 90% of those who lose everything are mostly because their mentality collapsed. Greed is the ultimate disease. --- The fastest way for contract beginners to die is a hard rule; if you can't even read candlestick charts, it's really ridiculous to go all in. --- Trying 10% of idle funds is correct, but I'm just worried people are greedy—earning a little and then wanting to go all in to double their money. --- RWA is indeed different this time, but the premise is that you have to survive until that day. --- Lack of knowledge + mental breakdown? The two biggest ways to get out of the crypto world are these. --- The dream of getting rich overnight should be awakened from. The market's biggest test is patience and self-control. --- It's heartbreaking to see trading fees eat up the principal; no one seems to realize this. --- The story of turning 1000 yuan into 100 yuan is played out every day. The problem is most people simply can't change their greed. --- Asset allocation sounds sophisticated, but it's really just don't go all in. How come so many people don't understand such a simple principle?

To be honest, this article hits too many retail investors' pain points. I know people like that around me. It's so realistic—daring to go all-in without even understanding what BTC is, and secretly losing the principal to fees without realizing it. I agree with the 10% testing approach; most people simply can't control it. Waiting is the hardest part, really.
