There is a chance, but only under one condition: don't mess around.

I have seen too many people dream of turning 5000 into 100,000 as soon as they enter the market. Theoretically, it's not entirely impossible, but there is only one way to do it — trading mainstream coin contracts, and you have to get the timing right.

Let’s first discuss the most heartbreaking reality: copycat contracts are just gambling. The volatility is fierce, slippage can occur at any time, and liquidity is terrible; retail investors are often harvested nine times out of ten. If you really want to come out alive, you can only focus on assets of the magnitude of BTC.

Can that 5000 be turned into 20 times?

Yes, but there is only one way to live - follow the trend, operate with low leverage, and roll over using profits.

How to do it specifically? Build positions at key points in line with the trend, do not add randomly in between, and do not stop loss emotionally. Gradually use the money earned to enlarge your position. If the market really reaches the next round of highs, 20 times is not a dream.

But the heartbreaking truth is that this opportunity comes once a year, or even less often. The real challenge is not when to enter, but whether you can withstand those major fluctuations along the way.

The most torturous part of holding a long position is never the buying point, but the selling point. No one can accurately predict the top; some wait for a pullback, while others chase new highs. The divergence itself is the norm in the market.

If BTC returns to the key support zone, it is indeed worth holding on to—low leverage, long positions, and extending the cycle, betting that a trend can continue. The core conditions remain unchanged: small position sizes, low leverage, and the ability to withstand volatility.

The final heartfelt words:

Don't touch shady contracts; don't touch high leverage; those who want to turn their fortunes often end up flipping their vehicles.

To put it bluntly for beginners, trading contracts is really not suitable. High returns come with high risks; the two are inseparable. Instead of messing around blindly, it’s better to learn slowly from those who have truly experienced bull and bear markets.

In this circle, living long is always more important than earning quickly.

You're absolutely right, low leverage is the way to go, high leverage is just working for the exchange. --- Altcoin contracts are really just for harvesting, I don't know anyone who came out alive. --- Selling is always harder than buying, this hits hard and reflects the tears of many. --- Turning 5000 into 20 times? Possible, but you need a year's patience, most people can't hold on. --- Don't mess around with this phrase, it should be stuck on every newbie's forehead. --- In the face of trends, low leverage small positions are the only way to survive. --- High leverage kills without bloodshed, I've seen too many people go back to square one overnight. --- Actually, it just boils down to two words: live long. Those who earn quickly in this circle often die quickly. --- Slippage, liquidity, and harvesting, these are the only three things about altcoin contracts, nothing else. --- I believe in BTC, altcoins? You're really brave.

It's easy to talk tough, but how many can actually do it? You're not wrong, altcoin contracts are just giving away money; that guy I know lost everything in a month. Low leverage rollover sounds easy, but sticking with it is really hard; the mindset can break in an instant. With contracts, those who understand make money, while those who don't pay tuition; there's no middle ground. The most heart-wrenching part is that it's really hard to predict; when trying to take profit, you just want to chase new highs... only to end up disappointing. Living longer is more important than making money quickly; I agree with that a thousand times. Just talking without action is useless; the key is execution, which most people can't achieve. Turning 5000 into 100,000 is a dream, but it has to be done steadily.

To be honest, I agree with this theory, but the proportion of people who can truly implement it is heartbreaking. Low-multiple trend following sounds simple, but executing it is another story—most people can't endure those fluctuations, either getting out of positions early or collapsing mentally and increasing the position. Altcoin contracts should indeed be avoided, but for someone like me who wants to take a gamble, BTC contracts are not necessarily easy to control either; it still depends on whether one's psychological fortitude is strong enough. The saying about living longer really hits home. --- Turning 5000 into 100,000... theoretically it's possible, but the probability is too slim; it's steadier to just do Auto-Invest. --- The core is to not use high leverage and to stay away from altcoins; if you can achieve these two points, you've already outperformed a large number of people. --- It makes sense, but the problem is everyone knows they shouldn't increase the position, yet when the market is about to da moon, they still can't resist. --- Selling is always harder than buying; this statement really stings.
