Holding 100,000 yuan in the crypto world, imagine the scene of turning it into a million—this dream almost every retail investor has had. But the question is, how to get there?

There are basically two approaches. One is to jump tenfold directly, going all in with 100,000 to reach a million in one wave. The other is step-by-step: doubling the 100,000 to 200,000 first, then another wave to 400,000, and a third doubling to approach 800,000. Gradually stacking up this way, the mindset remains stable, and the risks are more controllable.

Currently, many retail investors in the crypto space have these common issues. Some chase small coins with wild swings—50% gains in a day when rising, and halving when falling. Even more aggressive is leveraging—if the market only rises 5%, using 10x leverage can turn that into a 50% return, but the risk of liquidation also multiplies tenfold. With this approach, the chances of making quick money in the short term and losing everything are almost equally high.

If you want to be more cautious, treating spot trading as your main battlefield and abandoning strategies that rely on amplifying volatility for gains, there are really only two paths: either carefully select quality small coins and hold a heavy position after thorough research; or the simplest method—pick good coins, extend the holding period, and let time and compound interest do the work.

The rules of the crypto market are actually so straightforward—there's no magic formula. Stick to spot trading, control risks, and act when the time is right. Often, this approach allows you to survive longer than frequent trading and high leverage battles.
