Saving and increasing value ultimately boil down to two approaches.

One is a single big hit—turning 100,000 into 1,000,000 in one shot. It sounds tempting, and many are indeed captivated by this dream. Especially in the crypto world, there are always those obsessed with low-market-cap small coins, fantasizing about waking up one morning to find their investment multiplied a hundredfold. The reality is harsh: these coins are often liquidity traps, with sharp rises followed by even sharper falls. Most people don’t see their investments double before they lose everything.

The other is multiple steady gains—10万→20万→40万→80万, tripling three times to approach a million. It doesn’t sound as glamorous, but this is the strategy of long-term winners. There’s a legendary story in crypto: starting with 40,000, not chasing quick profits, but focusing on cycles with high certainty like Bitcoin halving, eventually growing the assets to 200 million. Steady and consistent, time becomes the greatest weapon.

Most people want the first path, but truly successful people walk the second.

The underlying logic is actually very simple—

**Return = Principal × Volatility × Time**

Take 100,000 as an example: a 100% increase in a year turns it into 200,000 by year-end. Investors who can sustain profits never blindly chase high volatility; they understand the power of compound interest.

But many people always want to squeeze some juice out of volatility. Either they chase every rise and fall daily, follow small coins, ignore technical analysis and liquidity, and end up being harvested; or they leverage high, using 10x leverage to amplify a 5% increase into a 50% return. Sounds exciting, but what about reality? Bitcoin has experienced three drops of over 70% in history. With high leverage, a slight correction could wipe out your account instantly.

Time is the real amplifier. Choose the right direction, let the power of compound interest run, and it’s much more reliable than betting on a huge market move.
