According to @AltcoinGordon, retail traders with small accounts face significant disadvantages when competing against algorithmic trading, insiders, and large market participants in 2025. He highlights that relying on day trading strategies, especially with limited capital and online tutorials, is unlikely to yield consistent profits. Instead, Gordon emphasizes building asymmetric long-term positions in cryptocurrencies, which can offer higher potential returns relative to risk for small investors. This approach aligns with current market dynamics, where automated trading and institutional players dominate short-term price action, making patient, high-conviction investing a more effective strategy for retail participants (Source: @AltcoinGordon, Twitter, June 10, 2025).
