Those who put small money into crypto, take out big money and vice versa

[Zanab247]

That is not true OP.  what we mean by invest what you can afford to lose in crypto is that don't invest all your money in crypto, because it pump and dump without anybody permission. Assume that is how crypto investment work, many people would have be using small amount of money to continue earning big profits from crypto, because no need of using big amount of money to buy crypto.

If you have big amount of money to buy crypto and you know it will not affect other sources of your income, you can go ahead and invest the money in crypto, because it will bring out amount of money that will make you to stop using small amount of money to buy crypto. There are institution using millions to buy crypto and hodl for long years before they can trade, because they know it will bring double profits that will make other institutions to go into crypto investment.

The rule "Those who put small money (or nothing) into crypto, take out big money - those who put big money into crypto, take out small money (or nothing)" seems to be true both objectively - because it is much easier to invest small amounts due to market illiquidity, and subjectively - because the person who have put the great proportion of his wealth (or even borrowed money) into crypto is often forced to sell in bad times.

What do you think ?

This a very wrong and I wonder were you get this kind of information from. The money you used in buying bitcoin will determine the amount of bitcoin you will have in your portfolio. So it is false to think that you can invest small amount of money or you don't have enough bitcoin in your portfolio and you begin to think of making enough profit more than those that have large holdings in bitcoin.

It is obvious that op has little or no knowledge about how the market works, he can right to a length but things don't actually work as he said, it is ok to say that if like money is invested it can be magnify with time that's if the market is good and it can as well shrink or diminishes if the market is bad and the same thing can happen to your investment even when you invested money is large hence his concepts of understanding is not really correct he needs to do more learning so he can make more meaningful contribution, we learn everyday anyways.

First of all I want to let you know that crypto space it's not a get rich overnight. I don't know why most newbie normally reason this way, this is why it's essential to have the knowledge before thinking of investment because there are a lot of things you need to know before starting your investment. It's a matter of how long you would be able to hold, it's not a matter of investing big amount or small amount because Bitcoin investment is a long time process that is why you need to have the knowledge because what you are telling us here it's a very different thing, and even though it seems harmful to the new beginners.

You are wrong and you should not think that investing in cryptocurrency is the same thing with trading. You can relate your observation to trading but not investing in cryptocurrency. Imagine you bought 1 Bitcoin at the rate of 80k and your friend bought his Bitcoin at same rate but he was able to buy 100 Bitcoin.

 If both of you left the coin in your different wallets for 4 years and later decided to sell the Bitcoin at the rate of 150k. Do you think you will make more profit than your friend? Do not forget that his profit will be 100x of the one he will be making from his investment. This is what different small investors from big investors and the rewards are different.

I think it’s more about position sizing than luck, people who put big money often expect fast results, when that does not happen they panic. Small investors usually have no rush, they can hold through years of sideways or drawdowns.

[lixer]

You may put big money and may take out bigger money if you are able to handle your nerve. I mean, the chances are wide open and it is only up to you and obviously you do not need to time the market but you need to hodl. Unlike other markets, bitcoin market got few advantages for easy money making due to its fundamentals, one of them is halving. If you follow halving and bullish trend then you can easily make big money from bitcoin market.

I agree that when people risk with small money, they are able to hold but at the same time, people who are well aware of fundamentals of bitcoin also keep holding without any fear of losses. So, small or big money got nothing to do with your profit level if you know how to profit from bitcoin market.

That's why it's important not to invest in Bitcoin with borrowed funds, as losses can be double the damage, whether small or large. While the amount of investment capital will influence the amount of profit we receive, skill is key to generating substantial returns through Bitcoin investment. Skilled individuals typically know when to capitalize on market movements or momentum, potentially generating substantial profits. Even with limited capital, they can still generate profits, especially through day trading or medium-term investing.

This is a false narrative that can only come from one that's not invested in crypto in the first place. Gaining from your crypto investment favours those that have higher capital than those that lacks appropriate capital. Even when you're talking of loss in your crypto investment, with smaller investment, if there's ever a loss, you loose less but with bigger asset in your possession, it's likely that you will loose more in that regard.

Crypto are volatile asset to start with and let's say for instance you bought a coin or say you bought bitcoin when the price was at $60k with $300. If after leaving your investment for a year you decide to sell and at the time the price of bitcoin is at $120k, your profit at that time will be $600k but if invested less with an $100 for instance, even with that bull, your profit would be $200k only. In the end, the higher the amount you invested in a coin or bitcoin in particular, the higher your potential return when ever there's a bull.

This is a bit confusing because you mention the same two words but with different narratives, and I'm curious to know how those who invest a small amount in crypto can withdraw large amounts. As far as I'm concerned with crypto in general and Bitcoin in particular, the capital you invest is proportional to the potential returns. However, if you invest a small amount, especially once, there's almost no chance of achieving the maximum returns you've described.

The risks are commensurate if one invests correctly. The reason people lose more money when investing in Bitcoin is because their investment knowledge is inadequate, preventing them from maximizing their investment potential. If they have sound investment knowledge, I believe it's unlikely that anyone would experience losses when investing in Bitcoin.

If someone invests by understanding the situation of the cryptocurrency market, then he will be successful. And if someone invests without understanding the situation of the cryptocurrency market, then he will definitely face losses. It is necessary for every person to understand the situation of the cryptocurrency market, then he will be successful in investing, and those investors who do not find dividends even after investing a lot of money, invest at the wrong time. If you can invest at the right time with the right plan, then you will definitely be successful, but Bitcoin investment must be long-term, then only then is there a guarantee of success.

Someone who has invested a large amount of money certainly understands the ins and outs of market dynamics. It is almost impossible for them to panic and sell because they already have a good foundation of knowledge in this matter. they tend to view fluctuations as a normal or natural part of their long term investments. different from beginners, who are certainly influenced by various factors, whether it be emotions or experiencing significant fear, which can trigger bad decisions such as selling assets when prices drop drastically.

Not everyone is investing in bitcoin with all the required knowledge but 90% of people invest because of FOMO when seeing their friends or neighbours making good profits in a bull run. So, regardless of large amount or small amount, most people never take time to study and understand the ins and outs of bitcoin investment. This is the reason, I believe that OP brought here a good point to discuss.

If you are investing in DCA or around the bottom of bearish market then I assume that you have enough enough knowledge on bitcoin market and you are aware of risk management. If you do bulk investment at the middle or top of bullish market then you may risk more than what you afford. This needs to be avoided for the protection of the capital.

You are sounding like too generalized rather than talking about any personal experience. It would be your own assumption that big investors are usually going for leverage for investing with bitcoin and might be exiting at losses but I have experienced in my experience because I was able to predict bitcoin market due to its four year cycle. I bought bitcoin by availing a loan and when I doubled my investment I booked half of my position and closed 90% of loan and then closed the loan in next 3months from my day job salary. This way I managed to have some bitcoin and I hold them still in profits.

I mean, if you have clear plans then you may go for calculated risk. I predicted bullish market somehow accurately and then bought with the help of loan and for closing the loan also I got plan. So, I manged. I am not recommending this to anyone but I want to say, not all investments with leverage are not ending in loss if you have prior knowledge in bitcoin market.

Putting "none" how is that an investment? Airdrops? Well, there's a fine line between real investments than just investing your time, trying your luck at something.
Those who put small amount and came out with huge profit are probably the people who are risking on a pump and dump coins. Do you know how many times they tried putting the same "small" amount on hundreds of different shitcoins? You don't really know whether they'll get breakeven or haven't got their capital back after that huge profit. 
Huge investments usually earn small profit "consistently". So, that means, over a period of time, it will become huge.

I don't know what your surely mean but what I know is that if you put big money on Bitcoin you will take out Big profit and if you put Small money you will get small profit. Likewise if you put big money in shitcoin you will get nothing and if you put Small money in shitcoin you will still get nothing. Maybe that is how the arrangements was supposed to be.

In crypto investment, it is not the amount of money you put in that matters, but what matters is the understanding you have. The reason why those who start with a small amount end up having big profits is that they understand that what matters is to start with an amount that they can afford to invest, and doing this consistently over time becomes very profitable.

Most people who invest in crypto big don't understand; they believe it is the size and the amount of cryptocurrency they invest that solely determines the outcome of the investment, but they don't understand what it takes to make a profit in cryptocurrency.

[Sammye3]

So you mean there is every assurance that investing little gives you more profits and investing with a huge amount gives you little profits? I don't see how this is valid, if so you mean whales who invest large would profit little and common traders would benefit more?

I don't really see what information you're trying to pass or maybe you did not just put it in a right way for people to understand you and not misunderstand the context of your post. Everyone investing in Bitcoin with the right mindset and strategy would definitely profit from it regardless of how the market turns out to be, patience and consistency is what is needed.

To me, one who invested a large amount would definitely make more money on the long run with the right understanding than one who invested little because a large investment is majorly for long term projects so it's expected to yield more profits than little investment. I think it's best you gather more knowledge about how the crypto world works and not conclude blindly.

So you think big investors are stupid?

The only way an investor will invest big money, later to take it out when it is less, is due to their lack of knowledge of Bitcoin. I won't blame you, though, maybe because you row around with people who later take out their investment due to panic. And oftentimes they end being on loss. The reason is that they did not have an investment goal. An investment goal helps investor stay in line with their investment, no matter the circumstances. They keep things in place, the necessary things, even before they start their investment.

The idea that small investors often walk away with larger relative gains while big investors struggle is less about intelligence and more about pressure and positioning. Small capital allows flexibility and patience because there is no immediate threat to daily life if price moves against them. When someone invests a large portion of their wealth or borrowed funds the emotional weight changes everything. They are no longer watching price as an opportunity but as a threat to stability. That pressure forces decisions at the worst possible moments. Illiquidity also plays a role because large entries and exits move markets and expose timing risk. Small investors can average quietly while large ones are noticed by the market. None of this makes big investors stupid it just means their margin for error is smaller. Without a clear plan large capital amplifies mistakes instead of smoothing them out.
