#美国贸易赤字状况 Starting from $140, how to grow to 900,000 in one year?

In March last year, I entered the crypto world with $140. At that time, I was extremely broke, only had 980 RMB on me, and had to borrow 20 RMB from my roommate to make a round number. My goal was straightforward: first reach $1000, then see what happens.

The past two weeks were a testing phase. I would deploy $30 per position each time, aiming for hot spots. If I lost money, I accepted it; if I made money, I snowballed. 100 → 200 → 400 → 800, within four weeks, my account skyrocketed to $1200. I was so excited that I withdrew $200 to enjoy a big meal, took photos, and posted on social media with the caption: "First battle success."

But $1200 was just the entry ticket. The real strategy was capital allocation: 50% focused on big trends, 30% locked in for the long term, and 20% flexible for quick strikes.

Last year's L2 sector rally saw my main position OP surge from $1.2 to $9. The account suddenly shot up to $80,000. But I didn’t get carried away; I withdrew $20,000 to help my family. The rest continued to fight. This year, I precisely caught the LSD wave, and my account surpassed the $900,000 mark.

At this point, I made a decision: withdraw $100,000 to pay off my student loans in one go. When I signed the papers, my hand was steady as a rock.

Looking back at this process, it’s not about superhuman talent. It’s just a few simple principles: First, don’t get scared out during volatility. Second, don’t put all your profits back in; know when to take profits. Third, heavy positions should be well thought out, not just all-in randomly.

In the crypto world, those who survive and even profit are always those who dare to venture and are as steady as Mount Tai. When the next wave arrives, turning $1,000 into a seven-figure sum isn’t a dream. The key is whether you’re willing to start now.

1. This is true asset management, not the gambler's mentality of all-in. 2. It sounds good, but in reality, it's luck + courage. I don't believe everyone can hit the OP and LSD. 3. The key is that he really managed to get ashore with a part of it, which is indeed impressive. Most people are just sleepwalking. 4. From 140U to 900,000, I calculated the annualized return... I can't figure it out, I can only say it's crazy. 5. I'm most impressed by the part about paying off student loans. Not everyone who makes money remembers this. 6. The theory of splitting funds sounds right, but in practice, who can really keep the ratio of 5:3:2 unchanged? 7. Surviving in the crypto world is much harder than making money. This guy belongs to the category of having missed both. 8. When the next round comes, I also want 1000 to turn into a seven-figure number, but now I don't even have a thousand bucks. 9. I was scared when OP pulled from 1.2 to 9, feels like there's no such opportunity now. 10. The phrase "as steady as Mount Tai" is used perfectly; not many can resist not going all-in.

This article is starting again, $140 turning into 900,000, and you're still talking about being as stable as Mount Tai... Forget it, I don't believe you at all.

ngl this reads like a vesting unlock dump waiting to happen. op talking about OP going 1.2→9 like it wasn't literally an airdrop + liquidity event followed by predictable distribution phases. if you read the actual token contract... classic greater fool theory with extra steps.

$140 to $900,000? That number sounds great, but how many can actually replicate it? Anyway, I don't believe it.

140U starting with 900,000? Man, your luck really isn't bad, but I just want to know how much of this surge is due to skill and how much is pure gambling. Withdrawing and paying off loans is indeed smart, smarter than those who go all-in on dreams. But honestly, I was also in that L2 wave, but I was caught at a high point, almost convinced I could watch K-lines every day.

$140 to $900,000? Man, your luck needs some fuel. I don't have that kind of fate.

It's another story of "I went from $140 to $900,000," just hear it and move on. True retail investors never come forward to share their stories; they are only silenced by losses.

Borrowing 20 bucks to make the numbers work is a brilliant detail—this is what true Web3 natives are all about. But speaking of OP going from $1.2 to $9, I feel like everyone is a genius storyteller now.

Oh no, this is a classic case of survivor bias... 900,000 U is indeed satisfying, but how many people are buried behind this number? But on the other hand, the logic behind the fund allocation still has some merit; it's not purely a gambler's mentality, I have to admit. It's just... starting with $140 and flipping 600 times? Brother, the luck factor here is a bit frightening, not everyone can precisely hit the OP and LSD tracks.
