Wanting to turn 100,000 into 1,000,000 is something I've heard a lot in the crypto world. But the number of people who can actually do it is very few, and the reason is actually quite simple—most people choose the wrong path.

There are two strategies. The first one sounds the most exciting: directly going all in on a tenfold coin, turning 100,000 into a million. This gets people pumped up, but the reality is that less than one in ten who do this survive. How many people have been lured in by this dream, only to be wiped out by various altcoins and Ponzi schemes.

Another approach is relatively simple: triple doubling the snowball. 100,000 turns into 200,000, 200,000 turns into 400,000, and 400,000 turns into 800,000, and in three steps, you are close to a million. It doesn't sound as exciting, but this is the strategy of those who have survived the longest in the crypto world.

Why is the slow path actually the way to survive? The logic behind it is very straightforward. Doubling in a year is not difficult; what’s difficult is whether you can keep that money. Cases of chasing a coin that surges 50% in one day only to be cut in half the next day happen every day. Using 10x leverage to bet on a 5-point fluctuation, hoping to amplify the returns tenfold, but a single pullback wipes everything out. These are all common practices in the crypto world, and also the outcome for most people.

Stable spot players actually do two things.

First, choose the right coin. Don't follow the trend just to pick up cheap options; focus on projects with real applications and solid fundamentals. The rise of SOL last year and the performance of various ecological coins this year are supported by logic. In contrast, projects that rely on concepts to attract investment and lack real development progress are air coins that play the game of quick in and out, with 99% of retail investors getting trapped.

Secondly, give time enough space. Don't always think about getting rich overnight, make compound interest your friend. Frequent traders are on edge all day, fearing they might miss a limit-up or get directly liquidated by a pullback. In contrast, those who can hold their positions patiently move steadily forward amidst market fluctuations. The movements of the whales are worth observing, and the macro data from the United States will also affect market rhythms, but these are all temporary information and should not be the reason for your frequent trading.

The winners in the crypto world are never the smartest person. Those who can withstand corrections, are not angered by short-term fluctuations, and stick to their strategies tend to live the longest. They know when to act and when to patiently wait.

In simple terms, the survival rule for spot traders is: choose the right direction, control the rhythm, and replace luck with compound interest. There's nothing magical about it; it's just a game of time and patience.
