If the crypto world wants to go from 100,000 to 1,000,000, it all comes down to one word—speed. Countless people dream of jumping on the fast train of a certain altcoin, experiencing a tenfold surge in a wave, and instantly crossing the wealth threshold.

But reality often doesn’t cooperate. How many times a year do you encounter impulsive market moves without any fundamentals backing them? Even if you do, can you precisely buy in at the right starting point? Can you withstand the shakeouts in the middle without being shaken out? More importantly, can you take profits in time before a pullback and walk away unscathed?

Many in the circle have fallen into traps. Those chasing hot altcoins often end up at the top, forced to become long-term investors. Traders using 50x or 100x leverage on contracts often see their accounts go from tens of thousands to zero after a small market dip, their mentality shattered, and subsequent trades become chaotic.

Those who truly turn 100,000 into 1,000,000 tend to take the "slow route."

Gradually doubling from 100,000 to 200,000, then to 400,000, 800,000—several steady multiplications. It may seem quiet, but it withstands the repeated tests of bull and bear markets. Avoid the thrill of leverage trading; instead, focus on spot holdings. Keep volatility within control, extend the cycle, and time becomes your compound interest helper.

The key is these two strategies: first, don’t let short-term surges of altcoins blind you. Focus on projects with genuine consensus and real-world applications. Second, don’t rush to leverage and gamble on luck. Leave enough room for narrative development and pullbacks for your chosen assets.

This path isn’t as exciting, but precisely because it’s not aggressive, it’s less likely to be eliminated by the market. Turning around in the crypto world is never about being the bravest; it’s about whether you can survive until the end.
