There are 100,000 funds that want to turn into 1,000,000, and the entire crypto circle is pondering this matter. Upon closer inspection, there are basically two approaches.

The first is direct assault: turning 100,000 into 1,000,000 in one shot, a tenfold increase. Sounds exciting, but the probability of success...

The second is steady progress: 100,000 → 200,000 → 400,000 → 800,000, and after three rounds of doubling, you approach the goal. Fewer people take this route, but most of those who actually achieve results are in this group.

The core logic is actually based on one formula: return equals principal multiplied by volatility multiplied by time.

Taking 100,000 as an example, a 100% increase within a year turns it into 200,000, and doubling is easily achieved. It sounds simple, but in practice, retail investors tend to take two risky paths: one is watching for coins with wild swings—some rise 50% in a day, while others get halved; the other is leveraging to amplify gains—if a coin rises only 5%, adding ten times leverage can show a 50% on-paper profit.

If you want to do things steadily without relying on increasing volatility to chase returns, there are really only two options left. Either choose projects with real potential, or let time be your friend—extend your holding period and experience different market cycles.

The cyclical nature of the crypto market is very obvious. Those who understand this logic are often better at navigating through bull and bear markets.
