From 100U to 1,000,000U, does this dream sound crazy? But numbers tell the story.

Suppose you make a 5% profit on each trade, regardless of how frequently you trade—how many times would it take to grow from 100U to 1,000,000U? The answer is about 144 times. On the other hand, if you make 3 trades per day, you could reach this goal in less than two months.

100 × (1.05)^144 ≈ 1,000,000, this is not just motivational talk, this is pure mathematics.

Here's the question.

Compound interest is indeed magical, but it is also the most brutal test of human nature. What you need to endure is not just simple calculations, but: every trade must not fail—one 50% loss is enough to halve your previous gains. High-frequency trading means high exposure to market volatility, and the risk multiplies accordingly. Emotions, greed, fear—these things will create bloodshed in your account.

The crypto world is not short of stories of wealth creation, nor of tragedies where accounts are wiped out overnight. What is missing? Strict position discipline, calm emotional management, and—truly understanding the risks.

Behind these 144 trades lies a silent truth: those who make it to the end are never the ones who earn the fastest, but the ones who survive the longest. Controlling greed is more valuable than chasing miracles.

Are you willing to stake chips on this challenge?

144 times without a miss? Buddy, your math is correct, but reality will slap you in the face. I've seen too many people die at the 143rd time. Once is enough; a 50% loss in one go can really bring you back to zero. Honestly, this is just gambler's psychology disguised as compound interest. Living longer is indeed more important than earning quickly, but who can really do it? Anyway, I can't. Every time I think I can do it this time, I get trapped, then start bottom-fishing, and then get liquidated. Math doesn't lie, but people can deceive themselves. This theory sounds flawless, but it gets distorted when applied to trading. If you don't leverage your chips, you simply can't make money; if you do leverage, it's also very hard to survive.

144 times? Hmm, just thinking about it makes me want to go all-in. But honestly, one liquidation and I’d be back to square one. I think I’ll keep averaging down.

144 times without a mistake? Haha, how confident you must be. I’ve never seen anyone stick with it --- Compound interest sounds great, but in practice, it’s like a suicide trade --- The key is mindset. One liquidation and it’s all gone; math formulas can’t save you --- Making 1 million in two months? Wake up, that’s toxic positivity in the crypto world --- Three trades a day, isn’t that exhausting? I just want to live well --- Real money-makers never discuss this kind of stuff in groups --- Controlling greed is indeed more realistic than dreaming, but who can really do it? --- Behind 144 times is 144 psychological torments. I give up --- Once you’re in, probability isn’t just a math problem anymore --- Living long without making money, what’s the point? The key is not to die on the road

144 consecutive hits? Brother, you're dreaming. A black swan will send you right back to the start. --- Compound interest sounds appealing, but in practice, nine out of ten people fail at the emotional hurdle. --- To put it simply, mental preparation is more important; technical skills are secondary. --- A 100x dream does exist, but 99% of people don't have the patience for it. --- Can you really persist through 144 attempts without making a mistake? I bet 5U you won't last more than 20 tries. --- It still depends on time and luck; pure mathematics is just talk in the crypto market.

144 consecutive wins without a miss? Buddy, are you joking? The market is so crazy that I’d be happy to win 10 times in a row.

nah, the math checks out but that's where it stops. one bad trade and you're mining uphill against a 50% difficulty spike—seen it too many times. the hashrate of discipline beats raw horsepower every time.
