#战略性加仓BTC Entering the crypto world for the first time, can a thousand dollars really turn into a hundred thousand?
This is not a theoretical question; it’s a real story.
The owner of the shop downstairs personally experienced such a scene. In 2013, he was dragged into the market by relatives and tried his luck by investing 10,000 yuan in Dogecoin. His idea was simple—since it was spare money, just to test the waters and have some fun.
Unexpectedly, the market surged rapidly. His account once skyrocketed to 500,000 yuan, leaving him stunned. At this point, his relatives were very rational, immediately taking profits and advising him to exit: "Hurry up and sell, lock in your gains." But the owner said a classic line: "The market is so hot, how can it stop here?" As a result, he didn’t sell.
What followed was a nightmare of decline. The account plummeted sharply, eventually remaining at just over 1,000 yuan. The owner was so angry that he deleted the exchange app and completely stopped touching this matter.
Time flies. By 2022, Dogecoin had surged again. His mindset was different this time; since he had already lost so much, there was no psychological burden. With the thought of "Anyway, pretending doesn’t help, might as well take another look," he reinstalled the app.
And the result? The account showed over 1 million yuan.
Ten yuan turned into one million. The "junk account" of 1,000 yuan turned the tide against the wind.
So the question returns to the original point: can a thousand dollars make ten thousand? It’s indeed possible. But it requires three indispensable things—luck, choosing the right coin, and persistence.
Most people won’t make it to that day. Market fluctuations will break your psychological defenses—you’ll cut losses at lows and chase gains at highs. But he didn’t. He chose the harshest method—simply deleting the app, avoiding the sight and the heartache, and instead became the most resilient holder.
It sounds like a joke, but the crypto world is so magical. Persistence itself is a strategy.

Haha, deleting the app is a brilliant move, more effective than any mindset training.

I think the most unbelievable part of this story isn't the doubling, but the fact that he actually has the mentality to delete the app and leave it for ten years? I myself check it about five times an hour...

Laughing out loud, this is the legendary "lying down to win," deleting the app is the ultimate holding strategy.

Wow, this story is so surreal. Deleting the app turned out to be the strongest holding? I couldn't help but laugh out loud. In the crypto world, there are really no tricks, only fate.

Uh... this story sounds a bit too much like a feel-good story, but it also truly reflects the craziness of the crypto world. Deleting the app is really a brilliant move.
