If you have 100,000 USDT, have you thought about how to turn it into 1 million? There are actually only two strategies, with vastly different results:

One is "going all in," relying on a market surge to multiply 10x and reach 1 million directly; the other is "steady growth," doubling to 200,000 first, then to 400,000, then to 800,000, and finally taking the last step. The first option seems more tempting, but in reality, most people who make money do so gradually through the second approach.

The key is to understand this formula: **Return = Principal × Volatility × Time**. Using 100,000 USDT as an example, a 100% increase in a year doubles it to 200,000 USDT—just a simple compounding principle.

What is the most common trap for retail investors in the crypto space now? Relying on amplifying volatility to chase quick profits. Either buying altcoins that can surge 50% in a day but can also be cut in half; or using leverage, which might show a 5% gain with 10x leverage, making a 50% apparent profit, but a small dip can wipe out the position. Most people who play this way end up losing a lot in the end.

If you prefer a more stable approach, sticking to spot trading and giving up the illusion of amplified volatility, there are only two paths left: one is choosing the right potential coins, and the other is extending your holding period, relying on time and market trends to grow your wealth through compounding. Which path suits you depends on your risk tolerance and your understanding of the market.

Compounding sounds simple, but in practice it requires patience. Most people can't get through the first cycle and start to get anxious.

Steady progress is the right approach, but it's easy to say. How many people can truly achieve it? Most are still lured back by a 10x market surge.

That's right, compound interest is the key, but the problem is most people can't endure that long.

That's so true. A 10x turnaround is just a dream; you still have to rely on compound interest to slowly grow. --- Playing with leverage really is a way to make money. I've seen too many people get wiped out overnight. --- Compound interest is the key; everything else is just gambling. --- Spot trading + time, it's more reliable than anything else, but you have to be patient. --- That 50% increase in altcoins, it can be cut in half in the blink of an eye. So exciting. --- Choosing the right coin is really more important than the multiplier, but honestly, who can pick the right one? --- It sounds simple, but execution is difficult. Most people still want to turn things around quickly. --- Amplifying volatility is pure suicide. I've seen too many cases like that. --- Instead of betting on a market move, it's better to earn steadily through compound interest, really. --- Many people overlook the variable of time, but it's actually the most critical.
