🚀 From zero to a million: Can the logic really be reproduced?
💰 What does the first 1 million mean?
Having 1 million in hand versus not having it—how far apart will your life trajectories diverge?
Going from a few thousand to 1 million—this is the hardest part. Most people spend their entire lives unable to cross this threshold.
But once you have 1 million, moving from 1 million to more becomes a systematic approach. Why? Because you start to use the power of compound interest.
For example, 1 million × 20% = 200,000. What does this 200,000 represent? It’s the annual salary cap for most people. In other words, as long as you protect your principal and achieve a 20% annual return, you already surpass the annual income of the vast majority of employees. More importantly, having 1 million gives you the freedom to choose—reducing leverage, taking a year off, waiting for real opportunities. This leap in freedom changes not just the numbers.
⚡ The only fast track for small funds: Why use rolling positions
Rolling positions are not for daily trading.
To put it simply, it’s an opportunity amplifier. You don’t need to bet correctly on the entire trend at once—you only need to succeed 3 to 4 times within a cycle to turn tens of thousands into tens of millions. This is statistically feasible, but the premise is that you must use the right method.
So, how exactly do you do it?
📈 How to guard during normal times and strike when opportunities come
Most of the time, you should be in a "probing" mode. A light position (funds occupying no more than 10%), with the goal of maintaining market awareness. You’re learning the rhythm, observing cycles, waiting for that moment when it’s truly time to go all in.
When an opportunity arises, your stance must change. At this point, you may need to invest 30-50% of your funds. Why? Because truly big opportunities don’t appear frequently.
🎯 How to identify real big opportunities? Three dimensions
Not every rebound is worth heavy investment. You need to see three things happening simultaneously:
**Technical signals**
After a sharp decline, if the price has been consolidating in the bottom area for over 15 days, what does that indicate? It shows that no one is selling anymore. Then, watch for the bottom to lift—each rebound’s lows are higher than the previous ones. When a key resistance level is broken and trading volume doubles or more, the technical signals are confirmed.
**Fundamental support**
A certain blockchain project is about to launch a major technical upgrade, a leading institution announces entry, regulatory environment suddenly becomes clearer, explosive application growth occurs within the ecosystem—these are real events happening on the fundamental level, not media-created stories.
**Market sentiment extremes**
When the fear and greed index drops below 20, social media is full of despair. A more objective indicator is the liquidation volume—when the liquidation scale hits a new high, it indicates that many leveraged longs have been wiped out, and the market has been emotionally cleared.
⚡ From signals to execution: the rhythm of rolling positions
When a signal appears, the first step is not to go all-in.
You should observe for 2-3 weeks to confirm that the signal is real and not just a fleeting rebound. Once confirmed, use 20% of your planned capital for the initial position. As the trend gradually establishes, initiate the first rolling position, increasing to 40%. When the main upward wave emerges, the second rolling position is completed.
At each step, there is an exit plan. It’s not about selling only when profits are maximized, but about gradually exiting according to preset profit targets.
The cycle in the crypto world will always come. The question is, when it arrives, are you ready?

That's true, but the key is still to survive until the day the cycle arrives...

Really, it's the same old stop-loss strategy. Tried several times and lost everything each time.

It sounds good, but the key is still to survive. How many people died before reaching the first million?

Well said, but the key is that 99.9% of people won't reach the first 1 million, let alone replicate it.

You're right, but the key is to get through that first million.

You're right, but execution is too difficult. Most people still cut losses in fear.

The data shows that this set of logic has too many flaws... An annualized 20% sounds easy, but in practice? Gas fees eat up half, slippage eats up another half, and what you actually get in hand is a negative number.

It's the same old story, I've heard it hundreds of times... The key is that 99% of people don't have the mindset to hold on until the first 1 million.
