Wealth doubling ultimately comes down to these two paths:

One is gambling-like — turning 100,000 directly into 1,000,000. Many dream of chasing a hundredfold coin, achieving financial freedom with a sudden surge. It sounds tempting, but reality is often harsh: these types of coins are basically routines to cut leeks, rising rapidly and falling even harder. By the time most people react, their principal has already vanished into thin air.

The other is compound interest — 100,000→200,000→400,000→800,000, three times doubling to approach a million. There’s a legend in the crypto world called "Bitcoin Emperor," starting with 40,000 yuan, not chasing single big profits, but focusing on high-probability opportunities like Bitcoin halving cycles, steadily operating step by step, eventually growing to 200 million in assets. This is the power of "slow doubling."

Most people fantasize about the first path, but those who truly make money usually follow the second.

Why? Break down this formula and you'll understand:

**Return = Principal × Volatility × Time**

With 100,000 yuan principal, a 100% increase in one year turns it into 200,000. Long-term profitable investors are never fooled by short-term high volatility; they understand how to use time to amplify the power of compound interest.

Contrast this with those who always want to amplify "volatility":

Either chasing the hype and playing with altcoins, which can rise 50% in a day but also be cut in half just as quickly. Some investors follow the trend of low-market-cap coins, ignoring technical strength and liquidity traps, ultimately being ruthlessly harvested by the market.

Or using high leverage, turning a 5% increase into a 50% return with 10x leverage. But high leverage is like a double-edged sword. Bitcoin has experienced three "winters" with over 70% declines. In such conditions, even a small correction with high leverage can directly wipe you out and trigger liquidation.

To make money, you must recognize one thing: a single sudden surge is luck; stable compound interest is strength.
