Many people want to get rich overnight through contract trading, but end up losing everything. I’ve been in this circle for so many years and have seen too many dreamers. Today, I want to say some honest words.

**The "50% win rate" in contract trading is a scam**

Two directions, flipping a coin—roughly half each? Sounds fine, but reality is completely different. Volatility, slippage, stop hunts—any one of these can break your stop-loss. Even if you set your risk-reward ratio to 1:1.5, a black swan event can wipe out all your profits from 99 wins.

Psychologically, it’s even worse. Want to run when you make money, but hold on when you lose—ultimately, your win rate might be worse than flipping a coin. The few who truly make 1 million through short-term contracts? I know only a handful, and each of them is a ruthless trader who has learned through real losses. Ordinary people can’t learn this skill.

**A more stable 1 million might look "stupid"**

**HODLing and dollar-cost averaging—least sexy method**

Take 100,000 yuan, split into 96 parts, and invest weekly in BTC, ETH, BNB (ratio 6:3:1). Persist for 4 to 8 years, and reaching 1 million isn’t really difficult. It sounds slow, but how many give up halfway up the mountain? It’s just patience that’s missing.

**Airdrops and free tokens—zero cost gamble**

The airdrops in the ARB and Solana ecosystems—some people operate hundreds of accounts and make millions in one go. The prerequisite is that you understand English, can configure servers, and are willing to spend time researching project details. Otherwise, you’re just working for a professional team.

**Mining rigs + dollar-cost averaging—steady and fast**

Buy mining rigs and host them at reliable mining farms, earn coins steadily each month, then use these coins to invest in mainstream projects. This way, you get both cash flow and growth.

These methods aren’t sexy, and they don’t have the thrill of contracts, but the ones that can truly help ordinary people reach 1 million are these "stupid methods."
