Dear friends, today I want to discuss a realistic and heartfelt topic: if you have 100,000 yuan in the crypto world, have you ever thought about how to turn it into 1 million?

To put it simply, there are only two paths, no third option. One is to take a risk and go all-in with the 100,000, hoping that one day it will multiply tenfold and make you rich overnight. The other is to be steady and persistent—first doubling the 100,000 to 200,000, then from 200,000 to 400,000, and then to 800,000. After three doubling steps, you're very close to 1 million.

Most people enter the market with shining eyes, eager to take the first fast lane and dream of getting rich overnight. But after years of experience in this circle, I’ve seen that nine out of ten people who actually make money follow the second path. This is not just motivational talk; it’s a harsh reality.

Let me break down the core logic for you: remember this formula—return equals principal times volatility times time. In plain language: if your 100,000 yuan can steadily increase by 100% in a year, by the end of the year, it will naturally become 200,000. No gambling, no relying on luck, just doubling your money.

Currently, retail investors in the crypto space especially love to play risky tricks. Some buy those highly volatile altcoins that surge 50% in a day and then get cut in half the next. How strong must their hearts be to withstand that? Others use leverage, hoping to amplify gains. For example, if a coin normally rises 5% in a day and you use 10x leverage, it looks like a 50% increase, but your risk also multiplies by 10. A slight fluctuation can wipe out your position instantly, and you lose all your money.

If you understand this and don’t want to rely on leverage to gamble your life away, and instead want to do solid spot trading, there are two reliable ways: either have the vision to pick truly promising projects, or extend your time horizon and use time to generate returns. Time is the best friend and the best tool.

Turning 100,000 into 1 million is definitely not a dream; the question is, how do you achieve it? Some do it in three years, others take ten years. What’s the difference? It’s about stability, mindset, and whether you’re always chasing risks. Being more steady and patient can sometimes lead to longer-term success because you live longer and make fewer mistakes.

The market changes every day, sometimes crazy, sometimes rational—that’s the norm. Protect your principal, stay true to your original intention, and when the next cycle comes, you’ll be able to stand firm. Don’t always look for shortcuts; often, taking shortcuts leads to dead ends.
