Crypto beginners often ask me, how can I get rich quickly? My answers are often disappointing: forget about those dreams of tens of millions, first cross the threshold of 1 million. Honestly, with 1 million in principal, even just a 20% return from spot trading can, in a year, outperform what an ordinary person works hard for ten years.



But that doesn't mean you can just relax. I've been in this market for many years, stepping on countless pitfalls, and the core principle I've realized is actually very simple—don't always chase small profits like "mosquito bites." The real explosion comes from splitting compound interest into several key "rolling position explosions." Usually, it's about small positions honing your feel and maintaining market awareness; once signals appear, then go all in.

So what do these signals look like? I’ve summarized three core features:

First, after a sharp decline, the price consolidates sideways for a long time, then suddenly, on a day with high volume, breaks upward, signaling a trend reversal—only then is it safe to act. Don’t rush to buy; wait for confirmation signals.

Second, the daily chart stabilizes above a key moving average, with volume and price rising together. Market sentiment begins to warm, retail investors are still complaining, but the main players have already quietly completed their positions.

Third, this is the most subtle—no buzz on hot searches, no discussions on Weibo, but the main players’ accumulation has quietly ended.

Now, let’s talk about specific operations. Suppose you have 50,000 yuan, and this money is best from previous profits. First, recover your initial investment and cut losses, then start the rolling position plan.

Use a position-by-position mode, which is crucial. Keep total position within 10%, leverage at most 10x, but actual leverage should be around 1x. Stop-loss must be strictly set at 2%, which is the bottom line—if hit, exit immediately, no negotiations.

How to add positions after the price breaks out? After the price rises by 10%, take 10% of the newly earned profit to open a new position. Throughout this process, always keep a 2% trailing stop-loss.

Remember one iron rule: never go all-in, never add to losing positions, never hold through a loss. The moment a stop-loss is triggered, exit immediately. Save your bullets and wait for the next opportunity.

If a standard 50% main upward wave is executed properly, this method can give you returns that will make you re-understand what compound interest really is. The key is to endure those consolidation periods and wait for that true explosive moment.

Sigh... I've heard this set of arguments too many times. The key question is, how many can actually stick to a 2% stop loss? --- Claiming that a million yuan in principal is an easy threshold—most people can't even save that much. --- The idea of a breakout causing a surge sounds great, but in practice, it can crush your mentality. --- Stop talking about those stories of major players quietly building positions. We retail investors are just victims of information asymmetry. --- Moving the stop loss by 2% sounds simple. But when it’s time to cut, who hasn't cried? --- The most heartbreaking thing is "saving your bullets." Most people have already gone all-in. --- Isn't a small profit like mosquito meat tasty? Stability is always faster than going all-in and turning things around. --- Compound interest only works if you live long enough; if not, it’s all for nothing. --- Daily breakout, volume and price rising together... it’s always the same story, but then it just drops right back. --- Practicing with 50,000 yuan? That’s probably just messing with your mentality. --- The harshest advice is "trigger the stop loss and exit," which requires incredible self-discipline.

Haha, it's the same old story again—starting with 1 million to just lie back and win? --- Sounds good, but how many can really endure a 2% stop-loss? --- Waiting and waiting, until the main players quietly finish, and we're still spinning in the mosquito coil. --- Never go all-in, never add to your position, never hold through a loss—easy to say, hard to do, brother. --- If the signals were really so clear, it wouldn't be us retail investors who see them first. --- Turning 50,000 yuan into a rolling position sounds super exciting, but can it really survive the consolidation phase? --- The key is to endure; just these two words scare away 99% of people. --- Feels like just storytelling; the real path to earning 1 million is another story altogether. --- Compound interest is compound interest, but only if you can really survive until that explosive moment.

It sounds good, but how many people can really survive the consolidation phase? --- I agree that 1 million is the starting point, but the problem is how to grow from 50,000 to 1 million. --- I've long experienced the iron rule of 2% stop-loss, getting cut repeatedly and painfully. --- Waiting for signals, not all-in, resisting temptation—easier to say than to do, brother. --- How can we tell when the main force is quietly building positions? Still depends on luck. --- Compound interest and rolling positions sound great, but executing them requires a strong mindset. --- Opening with 50,000 capital and 10x leverage, losing 2% at once is 1,000 bucks—can you afford to burn like this every month? --- Earning 20% on spot sounds easy, but why do I always end up losing here? --- The three signal features are a bit suspicious. With so many market variables, can we really rely on this judgment? --- Without a principal of 1 million, it's impossible to play; the discouragement is a bit strong.

Starting with 1 million is indeed a tough hurdle, but to be fair, when can ordinary people save up to that? That's right, making real money still depends on seizing that critical moment to act; usually, it's just running alongside. I genuinely agree with the 2% stop-loss line; I've seen too many people hold on to positions until they get margin called.

You need 1 million to start? Then should I get rid of my 50,000 right away?

Listen to this, it's all lessons learned the hard way. A million is just the starting point, I'm not joking.
