#比特币与黄金战争 How does a newbie make their first million in the crypto world? Instead of aiming for ten million right away, it's better to first solidify your base. I've been in this circle for many years and have seen too many people get rich overnight only to go bankrupt overnight. Those who survive almost all understand one principle—it's not about daily scalpings, but about learning to hit profits in multiple waves.



Usually, taking 20% of your spot holdings for stable income, compounded over a year, can outperform most people. What's the real way to make money? **Start with small positions to practice, wait for genuine signals, then go all in with heavy firepower, and only go long, not short.**

What are true signals? Pay special attention to three situations:

**Long-term consolidation after a sharp decline, suddenly breaking out with high volume**—this is when the trend is truly stable. Not a rebound, but a trend.

**Daily candles closing above key moving averages, with volume and price rising together**—market sentiment is starting to warm up, and the big players have already quietly positioned.

**No reaction on hot searches, retail investors still complaining**—this is often an excellent window for the big players to build positions.

How exactly to operate? Let's take an example with 50,000 yuan:

First, this 50,000 should be profits earned earlier, not the principal. Stop-loss to recover funds is the first step before talking about rolling positions. Use a segregated account mode, keep total position within 10%, leverage no more than 10x, so the effective leverage is actually 1x, with a stop-loss always set at 2%—this is the safety bottom line.

After confirming a breakout, add to your position for the first time, only when the price has risen more than 10%. Use another 10% of the profits to open a position, with a 2% stop-loss again. Throughout, avoid averaging down, resisting against positions, or getting itchy about gains. When reaching the stop-loss point, close the position and shut down, saving firepower for the next opportunity.

A main upward wave of 50% can, through compounding, grow into 200,000 yuan. Catch two such waves, and 1 million yuan is within reach. To put it simply, as long as you roll through 3 to 4 cycles in your lifetime, the path from 50,000 to 100,000 to 1,000,000 is open, and then you can fully exit.

The key risk control rules must be ingrained in your mind:

🎯 **Do not roll in choppy markets, do not roll in declining markets, do not chase hot coins**

🎯 **Even if the principal is lost, only the segregated margin is lost; the remaining funds are automatically locked, and liquidation won't touch the main account**

🎯 **During rolling positions, take out 30% of profits for withdrawal, buy a house or car to secure gains, and avoid being eaten up by greed**

To be honest, rolling positions is not gambling with your life; it's about **waiting for opportunities**. When the opportunity comes, roll; when it doesn't, stay flat. Better to miss a market move than to open reckless positions. Those who truly roll out their first million will naturally understand what position discipline, emotional management, and cycle awareness mean. By then, subsequent operations are just copy-paste.

This market will always reward those who are prepared. $BTC $ETH $XRP opportunities are right there—it's up to you whether you're ready.

Sounds very right, but most people simply can't sit still. --- Compound interest is indeed the truth, the question is whether you can hold on until that moment. --- A 2% stop loss is too harsh; I need to reflect on myself. --- You're right, retail investors always want to become rich overnight. --- I knew this logic a long time ago; the hard part is execution, brother. --- Rolling over 50,000 to a million sounds great, but how many times must the mindset not to collapse? --- No reaction on trending searches; I noted down the retail investors' complaints, this is indeed a signal. --- The key is not being able to hold; as soon as it rises, I want to chase; as soon as it falls, I want to cut. --- I agree with not doing short positions, only going long; short players are really prone to collapse. --- The suggestion to withdraw 30% must be followed; otherwise, all profits will be eaten up by greed.

Sounds good, but the millions I earned were all lost in the last bull market from a HODL move. The key is patience, but that's the hardest part of human nature. Turning 50,000 into 1 million sounds simple, but actually executing it is another story. A 2% stop-loss sounds easy, but when the market really drops, who can stay unshaken? Volatile markets are the most torturous, and you might get repeatedly cut. This methodology is correct, but the problem is most people die of impatience. People waiting for opportunities see no real signals for two years. I agree with not chasing trending coins; many have been ruined by them. Rolling positions sounds stable, but it's really just time trading space, and you need to live long enough. I just want to ask, can your 100K be cashed out?

After all this time, the core remains the same old saying—waiting for opportunities is much harder than creating them. The early digital art market was the same; the collectors who truly stayed are those who never chase the trends, but wait for the moment when scarcity emerges.

No matter how eloquently you put it, you still have to cut losses. I've seen too many people talk smoothly, but when a sudden crash happens, they get wiped out all at once. The idea sounds good, but in reality, you can't find anyone who can stick to a 2% stop-loss even with a lantern. The phrase "lock in profits" hits me the hardest—so many people make money only to lose it even faster.
