Honestly, these days the most common illness among crypto beginners is greed.

You invest 100,000 yuan with the idea of multiplying tenfold to reach one million, but most people end up getting poorer the more they play. I've seen too many examples like this—initially confident and ambitious, then after three months, half of the investment is gone; another three months later, the principal is gone too.

In fact, those who truly make big money play completely differently. They don't dream of turning ten thousand into a hundred thousand in one shot; instead, they take three steady steps—100,000 to 200,000, 200,000 to 400,000, 400,000 to 800,000. Tripling their investment step by step, eventually approaching a million. It may not sound as exciting, but this is the strategy that allows people to last the longest.

**Why do beginners always fall into traps?**

Simple—human nature is greedy, and the crypto world is a place that amplifies this greed a thousand times.

Most newcomers focus on meme coins and leveraged contracts, eyes lighting up at 50% daily volatility, thinking this is some "opportunity." Little do they realize that behind high volatility lies hellish high risk. On the night of March 12, 2020, Bitcoin plummeted from $7,900 to $3,600 in a straight drop. How many leveraged traders got liquidated to zero? Too many to count.

What you think is a shortcut to wealth is, in reality, a meat grinder.

From a mathematical perspective, the logic of profit is quite simple: **Profit = Principal × Volatility × Time**. If you avoid leverage and meme coins, you can't rely on amplifying volatility to get rich. The only options left are: either pick the right assets with strong skills or exchange time for space.

**So how can you steadily double your investment?**

The real heavy hitters in crypto are doing one thing—rolling over their positions.

For example, after Bitcoin drops sharply and starts consolidating or preparing to break out, you use 10% of your total funds to open a position with low leverage. More specifically: with a 50,000 yuan principal, use 5,000 yuan to open a position with 10x leverage, which equals 1x actual risk. Set your stop-loss at 2%, risking at most 1,000 yuan.

If this trade makes a profit, say 7,000 yuan, your total becomes 57,000 yuan. In the next round, use 10% again; the principal has increased, but the risk remains within acceptable limits. Over time, your account grows through leverage reduction and compound interest. It may sound tedious, but this is the method that the people who last the longest are using.

Compare this to a beginner—going all-in with 50% position and maximum leverage, risking a total wipeout on a single dip.

The difference is clear. One is steady position management and patient accumulation over time; the other dreams of eating a big fat pig in one bite. The former earns slowly but lasts longer; the latter gets rich quick but also gets wiped out fast.
