$ZEC recently received a heartbreaking question: I only have 1000U left, is there still a chance to make a comeback?

To be honest, this question is like asking, “I only have a pack of instant noodles, can I win over my dream girl?” 1000U is less than 10,000 RMB, which can't even make a splash in this market. But then again, it's not completely hopeless.

First, lower your expectations—don’t expect to get rich quick with 1000U. Focus on how to turn it into 5000U first. When a bull market comes, multiplying your money isn’t that hard; the key is surviving until that day.

Having a small principal is actually a good opportunity. Don’t be in a rush to go all-in. Spend more time researching mainstream coins, understanding on-chain ecosystems, and practicing chart analysis. Once you really understand the logic of this market, opportunities will naturally come to you.

The most important thing is risk control—even if you later manage to raise more money, don’t bet it all. Keep some reserve funds and manage your position size. The crypto world changes too fast; what’s a value coin today could go to zero tomorrow. Survival is the most important thing.

Many people think you can play around with small funds, but in reality, this is a capital battleground. You could lose money just from funding rates, not to mention participating in DeFi, chasing airdrops, or speculating on trending coins—you might not even meet the minimum requirements.

So to put it plainly, it’s not impossible to turn small funds into a comeback, but you first need to learn how to keep that little money alive and then slowly snowball it. Don’t rush.
