With 100,000 yuan in hand and the goal to turn it into a million, there are actually only two paths.



One is to dream of a tenfold increase in a single shot—jumping from 100,000 directly to 1 million. The other is to double your investment step by step: 100,000 → 200,000 → 400,000 → 800,000; after three doubles, you're close to your goal.

Honestly, most people want to take the first route, but in reality, those who make money are often the ones who choose the second.

Here's a formula worth pondering:

**Return = Principal × Volatility × Time**

For example, if you have 100,000 and it increases by 100% in a year, it becomes 200,000 by year's end. It sounds simple, but how about execution?

Many try to amplify returns by playing with volatility—either chasing altcoins that might surge 50% today but get cut in half tomorrow; or using high leverage, where a 5% increase is magnified tenfold to a 50% gain. The risk? It skyrockets exponentially.

But if you've already decided: **no leverage, only spot trading**, then there are only two ways to amplify your gains:

**First, choose the right potential coins**—projects with solid fundamentals and practical application prospects.

**Second, extend your time horizon**—let time do the work for you. Instead of aiming for overnight riches, rely on year-over-year accumulation.

It may seem slow, but it's steady. Unlike chasing quick gains and suffering heartache, this approach makes it easier to truly reach your goals. This is the game rule for spot traders.

That's right, leverage is a trap Endured three years of spot trading, watching people around me get liquidated one by one, only then did I understand this Time really will give you the answer

ngl the math checks out but have you actually traced the wallet flow on these "fundamentally sound" projects? 🔍 most of them show classic accumulation patterns right before the dump

You're so right, that leverage stuff will eventually blow up.

There's nothing wrong with that; steady compound interest is the way to go.
