Holding 10,000 or 8,000 in principal and dreaming of financial freedom? Wake up—get your first million before you start dreaming.



What does it matter to you if $XRP skyrockets? What truly changes your fate is the skill to turn small money into big money.

Why focus on the first million?

Because once you have that amount, the game changes completely—a 20% swing in spot trading means 200,000 in profit. Last year, during that major bull run in $BTC , plenty of people made their fortune on this exact logic. More importantly, once you figure out how to actually make money, your mindset stabilizes. You just have to repeat the same strategy, and as long as you don’t mess around, you’ll live comfortably.

Before you make your first pot of gold, stop fantasizing about being a “crypto mogul” or “making tens of millions a year.” No matter how good you make it sound, talk is cheap. You have to actually do it.

**Rolling your stack isn’t something you do every day**

You only go in when there’s a big opportunity. Normally? Use a small position to practice your skills. Back in the day, I practiced with 1,000U, earning a steady 5%-8% per month, just waiting for those high-certainty trends.

When the opportunity arrives, that’s when you go all in. If you can successfully roll your stack three or four times in your life, going from zero to 10 million is basically locked in.

**Three iron rules—if you can’t remember them, you’ll end up ugly:**

**First, be patient.** Don’t try to roll your stack every time there’s a trend. Last year I saw a newbie try four times in a year and wiped out three times.

**Second, only go for high-certainty opportunities.** What’s certainty? Big drop → long sideways move → breakout on volume. This pattern has a win rate of over 85%. Last year, I caught that $ETH run, tripled my capital in a month, all with this logic.

**Third, when you confirm it, go all in.** Opportunities don’t wait. Hesitate for a second and you might miss it. Back when $SOL broke out, I went all in and didn’t miss the following 60% rally.

There really aren’t many chances to get rich in crypto, but rolling your stack is one of the few chances for ordinary people to turn things around.

Don’t chase every pump and dump. Endure, wait, spot the opportunity, and strike hard—get your first million, and everything else will follow.

The people who survive and make money in this market have always been the ones who dare to take action first.

Are you ready?

Having theory alone is useless; the real challenge is staying disciplined and not touching those positions.

What you said is absolutely right, but it's hard to put into practice... How many people can really resist taking action?

Absolutely right, small amounts are a testing ground for your mindset; real skills only show when you’re handling large funds. These days, everywhere you look people are hyping up price predictions, but honestly, 99% of it is just talk. Only those who’ve been through the grind understand the real tricks behind it. Those who can’t control themselves will never get their day to make money—I’ve seen way too many people who are too impatient. I’ve also used that pattern with an 85% win rate. To be honest, you have to pair it with the market sentiment for it to really work; just looking at the chart can still get you fooled sometimes. Going all-in isn’t something everyone can handle—you need strong psychological composure to pull it off.

1 million is really not the end; it's just the threshold for starting to make money. To be honest, no matter how nicely you talk about compounding, it's still tough—most people simply can't endure that loneliness.

Haha, you're right, without at least 1 million you really can't do much. I've also been waiting for this wave of ETH logic, just still holding on, waiting for that certainty to appear. I need to think about going all-in, I'm afraid if there's a pullback my mindset will collapse.

Seriously, you want to lie flat at 18,000? Wake up, bro. A 20% swing in spot trading sounds great, but you need principal first. Those who can’t resist have all been wiped out—I’ve seen it too many times.

Sounds good, but the real challenge is not to be greedy. All it takes is going all-in once and you lose everything. The ones who survive are those who know how to cut losses. I've heard this logic a thousand times. The key is execution. My friend understands this theory but still lost everything because his hands shook. 1 million is really the dividing line; below that, everyone is just running along for the ride. Rolling positions sounds simple, but the real hell is the psychological part during actual trading. Every day you see people bragging about how they doubled their accounts, but no one talks about the three times they lost. Resisting the urge to act is the deadliest part. I've failed at this several times.

What you said is absolutely right, but ordinary people just don’t have that many opportunities to learn from mistakes. It sounds easy, but when the opportunity actually comes, most people get cold feet. 1 million is definitely a watershed—after crossing that threshold, the game really changes. Just watching others make 5%-8% isn’t as good as working a regular job. I just want to know how to identify that “certainty” opportunity; it feels like anyone can talk a good game. The key is still having some ammo left—not everyone can remain steady and not make a move.
