If you have 100,000 yuan, have you ever seriously thought about this question—not how to get rich overnight, but how to steadily reach 1,000,000?

Many people hear the phrase "10x return" and automatically picture a scene: go all-in, then take off, turning 100,000 directly into 1,000,000. It sounds exciting, but what about reality? Very few survive. Those who truly make money long-term are not using this logic at all.

Their approach is this: they don't seek to get rich overnight, only to double their money repeatedly. Just do the math—you double 100,000 to 200,000, then double again to 400,000, then double again to 800,000. Just three times, and you're already very close to 1,000,000. So you'll realize a harsh truth: profitable traders only think about the next doubling, while those losing money are always trying to hit the target in one step.

There's a formula worth remembering: Return = Principal × Volatility × Time. Many people fail because they dislike waiting. Doubling 100,000 steadily in a year results in 200,000. It’s not exciting, but it’s real. So what do most people do? They wildly increase volatility—buy those coins that surge 50% today and halve tomorrow, or leverage 10x, 20x, magnifying a 5% fluctuation into a 50% risk. It seems faster, but in reality, it just shortens your lifespan.

Once you truly understand this—avoiding leverage, not betting on volatility, only doing spot trading—the path narrows to just two options.

The first is choosing the right altcoins and riding their growth. When your principal is small, rely on the growth multiples of quality altcoins and let market trends amplify your gains. The second is extending your timeline, using patience to earn money. Compound interest may be slow, but it never lies.

Finally, I’ll give you a big truth: going from 100,000 to 1,000,000 is not about getting rich overnight, but about three steady doublings. Take it slow—you’ll be able to reach the end.
