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.

If you are thinking of spending little capital outside the crypto space then be sure to use the capital to pay for a skill that pays off later in the future. Owing Bitcoin with little capital won't get you better profits, so it's better pay for a course that can better your life towards the web3 industry.
My mentor also said the first thing you should do when you have limited investment funds is to increase your income. This is similar to what you said. Investing with a small amount of money becomes difficult because you barely see any benefits from your investment. For example, with a 10% annual return, your $100 investment will yield $10, which isn't even enough for a day's food. But with $10,000, you can earn up to $1,000 in returns, which would probably cover your monthly expenses for up to four months in my country. This is a reality everyone should know. It's more realistic than dreaming of turning $100 into $10,000 from altcoins or meme coins.
