Holding onto 100,000 yuan with the goal of reaching 1 million. To put it simply, there aren't many options.

One is to gamble big—using the 100,000 as chips to aim for ten times the return. Sounds exciting, but the risk is also high. Most people in the market focus on this path, but very few actually make it out alive.

The other way is to take it step by step. Turn 100,000 into 200,000, then 400,000, then 800,000... with a few doubles, reaching 1 million is just around the corner. It may seem slow, but every step is within your control.

Why is "slow" actually more reliable? The logic is simple: returns equal principal times volatility times time. Many people want to save time, so they desperately chase altcoins—today up 50%, tomorrow cut in half. Or they leverage, trying to use a few points of capital to earn dozens of points, but the risk has already taken off.

If you're just trading spot and not using leverage, then the two things that truly determine win or lose are:

**First, choosing the right target.** Focus on fundamentals, application prospects, long-term potential, rather than daily price increases. Many beginners do the opposite.

**Second, giving enough time.** Let time itself become your leverage, rather than forcing it with emotions. This path isn't as thrilling, but it's stable. You don't need to chase highs and sell lows every day, and instead, you can preserve profits amid market fluctuations.

Those who truly survive long in this market are often not the most aggressive, but those who can stick to a method until the end. This is the survival rule for spot traders—it's okay to go slow, but you can go further.
