In the crypto world, holding 100,000 yuan and wanting to turn it into 1 million, there are actually only two ways.

The first is to hope for a one-step success: multiply 100,000 by 10 in one go and become rich overnight. But in reality, hardly anyone has actually turned 100,000 into 1 million this way.

The second is the mainstream approach: double 100,000 to 200,000, then double again to 400,000, and a third time to 800,000. After three rounds, reaching close to 1 million is just around the corner. Although many people follow this path, few actually persist to the end.

At its core, the problem boils down to this formula: Return = Principal × Volatility × Time. Using 100,000 as an example, a 100% increase in one year can double it to 200,000. Sounds easy, but what does it take to achieve this?

Many in the crypto space have a common flaw: they want shortcuts. They either target altcoins that surge 50% in a day and then get cut in half; or they play with leverage—initially gaining 5% a day, but with 10x leverage, the profit becomes 50%, and the risk explodes tenfold. This approach is gambling—winning feels great for a moment, but losing means going back to square one overnight.

If you decide to follow the spot trading route without relying on amplifying volatility for gains, there are really only two options: either pick the right assets and seize opportunities, or extend your timeline and wait patiently. The advantage of spot trading is this—no leverage means less risk. To make big money, you can only rely on precise selection or trading with time to gain space.

Many losses come from impatience and greed, always wanting to make quick profits. Conversely, those who understand that "slow is fast" use stable compound interest to accumulate wealth, choosing the right direction and maintaining patience, ultimately achieving steady results.

That's right, but most people can't hold on until that day. --- Doubling three times sounds simple, but in reality, half of the people are out after the first round. --- It's another story of "slow is fast," but how many can really stick with it? --- Turning 100,000 into 1,000,000 isn't hard; the hard part is whether you can survive the second round. --- Leverage should have been banned long ago, but people just can't shake the gambler's habit. --- Choosing the right target is more important than anything else, but the question is, who can truly pick the right one? --- Spot trading is just exchanging time for money, provided you live long enough. --- Compound interest sounds great, but in practice, no one can stick with it. --- I've seen too many stories of losing everything overnight and going back to square one. --- Those who truly make money are the ones who endure, not the ones who rush. --- A 10x dream in one step—how many have died trying to achieve it? --- Extending the battle line is a good idea, but you need enough capital to survive until then. --- The disease of seeking quick profits in the crypto circle can't be cured at all.

To be honest, I'm the kind of person who keeps gambling until I lose everything and go back to square one... Now I've given up.

That's correct, but the reality is that nine and a half out of ten people can't stick to the second step.

That's true, but how many actually follow through? All the leveraged traders around me are gone now.

That's true, but very few people manage to stick through to the third round of doubling. I've seen too many people fail in the second round.

That's right, the tenfold dream has long woken up; you still have to take it step by step. Compound interest sounds simple, but sticking with it is hell. Leverage is really playing with fire—pleasure for five minutes, loss for a month. Spot trading is the right path; you just need to endure the loneliness. Watching others increase by 50% in a day makes you itchy, and then there's nothing afterward. Choose the right coin and maintain a good mindset; it's actually that simple. The hard part is whether you can do it.

In simple terms, it's a matter of gambling mentality; most people die from impatience. --- Everyone understands the theory of compound interest, but few actually stick with it. --- I've seen many margin calls due to leverage; those are real-life lessons. --- You can't double your investment 10 times; the way to survive is to double, double, and keep doubling. --- Spot trading is just about endurance; there are no shortcuts, only toughing it out. --- The key is mindset; making money is not that quick. --- Dreams of hitting the jackpot are all shattered by altcoins. --- Time is the greatest friend; everything else is useless. --- Choosing the wrong asset and having patience is also pointless. --- I've seen too many people go all-in and end up with nothing.
