Many people's first reaction is: find a coin that can rise 10x and go all in, waiting for a wave to take off. Sounds exciting, but in reality, nine and a half out of ten people who try this end up losing everything.
The true winners tend to use a more stable approach: first double your 100,000 to 200,000, then grow that to 400,000, and then push from 400,000 to 800,000. After three rounds of doubling, 1,000,000 is right in front of you.
There's a simple and straightforward logic behind this—Return = Principal × Volatility × Time.
Suppose you start with a principal of 100,000, and it gains 100% in a year, then another 100% the next year; after two years, you'll have 400,000. It may not be as thrilling as a 10x increase, but this kind of compound growth is much more manageable.
Here's the problem: many newcomers want to amplify volatility right from the start. How? Either by jumping into altcoins that can surge 50% in a day but could also be wiped out instantly; or by using leverage, where a 5% increase in a coin with 10x leverage yields a 50% profit—that of course works both ways, too.
If you don't want to risk your life and prefer to play it safe with spot trading, there are only two paths:
First, carefully select low-cap coins with potential, which tests your research ability and luck; second, extend your investment horizon—don't expect a 10x return in a year. Be patient for three to five years, and time will give you the answer.
To put it simply, the crypto world isn't short of myths about getting rich quickly, but most people fall for the trap of "quick doubling." If you want to survive longer, you need to honestly assess whether you're willing to take a gamble or prefer to steadily grow your wealth.

The power of compound interest is indeed attractive, but in practice, it's all about mindset. Who can truly resist going all-in?

The concept of compound interest sounds good, but how many people can truly stick with it for three or five years without wavering? I, for one, don't have that much patience.

The concept of compound interest is correct, but actually implementing it is damn difficult. Most people still can't resist going all-in.

It should be pointed out that this brother's understanding of compound interest is still at the elementary school math level.

Well said, compound interest truly outperforms all-in bets. The only concern is human greed.

Compound interest sounds great, but how many people can truly stick with it for three to five years without wavering? I bet five dollars that most people won't even make it to the second doubling before their mindset collapses.

The logic of compound interest sounds good, but who can really hold on... one limit-down and it's all gone.
