Why Retail Traders Shouldn’t Fear Trading Competitions

[Cryptoic]

I was in an X Space earlier where someone mentioned that the reason he doesn’t participate in trading competitions is because he’s underfunded, as most competitions tend to favor whales.

The host debunked this idea and gave an analysis of three ongoing events that actually favor retail traders even more:

 

1. BitDelta Winter WonderTrade Festival

 

2. Bitget Crazy48H trading event

 

3. Zoomex Fair Play Cup

He explained that these competitions stand out because they are more accessible, especially when compared to events that require $30,000+ in minimum trading volume.

 

So my question is: why do people often assume that trading competitions are only for whales?
