Holding 100,000 USDT, how can I grow it to 1,000,000? It sounds like the ultimate question, but the answer actually boils down to two paths, with a huge difference that’s hard to imagine.

The first is "Soaring to the Sky"—multiply 100,000 by 10 directly, entering in one wave to reach 1,000,000. It sounds exciting, betting on a big market surge or a monster coin.

The second is "Steady Growth"—turn 100,000 into 200,000, then double again to 400,000, and a third time to 800,000; after three rounds, you're close to the goal. It sounds slow, but this is the path that truly successful crypto investors take.

The key is a formula: Return = Principal × Volatility × Time. Starting with 100,000, doubling in one year (a 100% increase), results in 200,000 after one year. It sounds simple, but many people are unwilling to wait.

The most common retail strategies are basically two types. One is chasing small coins that surge 50% in a day, only to drop half later—too much luck involved. The other is using leverage to amplify volatility—what’s a 5% increase with 10x leverage becomes a 50% return, which sounds great, but the risk is also magnified tenfold.

For those who truly want to make steady money, either pick the right coins (like betting on the leading project in a certain sector), or be patient and let time do the multiplication. Holding spot assets for a long time, even with modest gains, the power of compound interest gradually reveals itself.

Going from 100,000 to 1,000,000 isn’t impossible in a quick way, but the probability is very small. The stable path involves two variables—your ability to select the right coins and your patience to hold.
