Curious to hear how others manage small capital outside the crypto space.
What did you start with when you had limited funds?
Where do you park or grow your money now?
Any strategies or assets you'd recommend for someone starting small today?
Looking forward to learning from your experience.

I think this will depend on your instinct, your location, your way of life, and the available resources around you because you will need all these before you can set up a small-scale business for yourself, unlike crypto investment, where you can just buy and hold your coin without any third party being involved.
If you are in a rural area, or you have access to a rural area where grains and cash crops are being produced, you can buy them during harvest and sell them when the price is high; this also has its own risk, but it is profitable, and you can use a small amount of money as capital to start.
Furthermore, if your money is big enough, you can venture into real estate investment to get a property for a future purpose, or you can buy gold.
