In these years of rolling in the crypto world, the most frequently asked question is: how to turn ten thousand into one million?

In the past, I used to smile and say nothing. Now I will tell you directly: stories about getting rich through talent are just for listening; most people fail because they can't wait for the next real opportunity to come.

Six years ago, I also started with a little over ten thousand as my principal, and I was harvested by the market like a leek. At that time, I thought trading meant staring at the market every day and constantly looking for opportunities. What was the result? The more anxious I became, the more I lost. It wasn't until later that I realized: making money relies on avoiding traps, making huge profits relies on resisting impulses, and turning things around relies on waiting for the right moment. What truly multiplies an account is never the daily small fluctuations, but those few key moments that change fate.

I remember one time I was trading short-term, and at night there was major good news but I didn't take action, thinking it would definitely rise the next day. The next day it did open high, but I wasn't greedy and just ran. Why? Because I had long understood a principle: when all the good news is out, that's the peak. You think the peak is still far away, but it's actually right in that moment of hesitation. What traps you is not the market, but that little bit of luck in your heart.

After that, my operating logic changed. I never bet on the market before holidays, actively clear my positions before major events, take a break when I don’t understand, and only take action when I see a clear opportunity. Some say I am too conservative, but only I know that it is this conservatism that has allowed me to survive into new major cycles time and time again.

We also need to talk about mindset. The most magical aspect of the crypto world is this: when making money, you feel invincible; when losing money, it feels like the sky is falling. If you can't control these two emotions, you'll forever be stuck in the cycle of retail investors. I've seen too many people who think they are gods after making money for three days, and feel like it's the end of the world after losing money for two days. What about the real experts? Both gains and losses are just numbers. When your mind is stable, your account can be stable too.

Is there a secret to turning ten thousand into one million? Yes. But it's not about technical indicators or magical formulas, it's about whether you can do this: dare to stay out of the market, know how to wait, execute strictly, and not be led by the nose by price fluctuations.

I have basically stepped on all the pitfalls that should be avoided. To take fewer detours and establish a foothold in this market, the key lies in these few points. The market does not wait for anyone, but opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
