I have 100,000 yuan and want to turn it into one million. People in the crypto circle usually have two approaches.

The first: directly multiply tenfold. Sounds exciting, but the risks are enormous.

The second: double to 200,000, then double again to 400,000, then double again to 800,000. Three doubles, and a million is within reach.

Interestingly, most people still planning are thinking about the first approach, but those who actually make money are mostly playing the second. That's the difference.

Why? Just look at the formula—return equals principal times volatility times time. Starting with 100,000, a 100% increase in a year turns it into 200,000. Simple math.

What’s the current strategy? The rookies like to amplify volatility. Buying altcoins that can surge 50% in a day or even get cut in half in a day; or leverage to the max, where a 50% gain in a day with ten times leverage equals 50% profit. Sounds exciting, but the price is waking up to find the principal gone.

If you've already thought it through and only want to buy spot, not use leverage or trash coins to gamble, there are really only two ways—either pick the right coin or pick the right time, and extend the cycle.

It's very simple, but goes against human nature. That’s the market’s filter.
