100,000 to 1,000,000: Two Methods

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

One is "skydiving," relying on a wave of market movements to multiply tenfold and directly reach 1 million; the other is "steady growth," doubling to 200,000 the first time, then to 400,000, then to 800,000, and finally taking the last step. The first approach seems more attractive, but in reality, most people who make money do so gradually through the second method.

The key is to understand this formula: **Return = Principal × Volatility × Time**. Using 100,000 USDT as an example, a 100% increase in one year results in 200,000 USDT—just a doubling. This is the fundamental logic of compound interest.

What is the most common trap for retail investors in the crypto space now? Relying on amplifying volatility to gamble for quick gains. Either buying altcoins that can surge 50% in a day but can also be cut in half; or using leverage—initially a 5% increase, with 10x leverage, the apparent profit looks like 50%, but a small dip can wipe out your position. Most people end up losing heavily playing this way.

If you want to be more cautious, only do spot trading, giving up the illusion of amplified volatility, then there are only two paths left: one is choosing the right potential coins, and the other is extending the holding period, relying on time and market trends to earn through compound interest. Which path suits you depends on your risk tolerance and understanding of the market.
