How to make the first 1 million in the crypto world?
Don't keep shouting about a target of tens of millions; first, get the 1 million sorted out. This money is your true capital to survive the winter and seize opportunities.
I have survived up to now not by watching the market every day to earn a few extra bucks. What really works is to use compound interest to make several "strong strikes" — testing the waters with small amounts during normal times, and only when a real big opportunity arises do I dare to go all in. Moreover, I only go long and never touch short positions.
When is it truly an opportunity?
1️⃣ After a sharp decline, it consolidates for a long time and then suddenly surges in volume - this is the real reversal signal.
2️⃣ The daily line has regained key moving averages, and the trading volume has significantly increased.
3️⃣ When the hot searches haven't taken off yet and retail investors are still saying it's cold, the smart money has quietly entered the market.
How exactly to roll? (Taking 50,000 as an example)
This 50,000 is best taken from the profits you have already earned, don't use your principal directly.
Use the isolated margin mode, with a single position controlled within 10% of the total funds, and leverage not exceeding 10 times (actual risk is equivalent to 1 time).
Stick to the 2% stop-loss principle, never go all in, never average down, and never hold on stubbornly.
After breaking through, if it rises over 10%, add more positions, increasing profits, not the principal.
A wave of main rise can achieve a 50% increase, and the funds can roll to 200,000. If you seize the next round accurately, 1,000,000 is basically secured.
In fact, rolling it 3 to 4 times, from 50,000 to 1 million, and then to 10 million, is really not a far-fetched idea.
But you must remember these three iron rules:
1️⃣ In a volatile market, do not roll, in a downward trend, do not roll, and in terms of news, do not roll altcoins.
2️⃣ If a position is liquidated, only the margin portion will be lost, and the entire asset will not be forfeited.
3️⃣ After making a profit in each round of rolling positions, you must withdraw 30% to secure your gains, and be sure not to inflate.
In simple terms, rolling over positions is not about luck or hard work; it's about waiting for the opportunity that truly belongs to you.
When the opportunity comes, seize it; if it hasn't come, just rest honestly.
After securing your first million, you will naturally understand how market rhythm, position allocation, and emotional cycles work.
When you're confused, don't force yourself; take a moment to think clearly before taking action.

That's a good point, but how many people can really stick to a 2% stop loss? Most only regret it after suffering significant losses.

It's easy to say, but among those who can actually hold out until a million, 90% are just lucky.
No matter how nicely you put it, it won't change the fact that most people can't even wait for that "real opportunity" before they have already lost everything.

Sounds great, but how many can really hold out until 1 million? Most people self-destruct before they even get the chance.
---
I agree with the 30% lock in profits rule, but too many people end up being greedy and pull back everything in the end.
---
Rolling over sounds simple, but the psychological aspect is the hardest part; the impulse to increase the position when it rises by 10% is really incredible.
---
I agree with only going long and not touching short orders, to avoid being reverse played.
---
It feels like I'm writing self-help advice; the key is still to wait for the real opportunity, but the problem is that most people can't tell what a real opportunity is.
---
Rolling from 50,000 to 1 million and then to 10 million definitely works mathematically, but in reality, the probability is lower than winning the lottery.
---
The most heart-wrenching thing is the phrase "don't force it when you're confused"; most people do the opposite and want to operate more when they're confused.
---
The incremental position model can indeed control risk, but the interest and fees also consume a considerable amount of profits.

Sounds easy, but if you don't have at least 500,000 in startup capital, it's all nonsense, and it has to be spare money...

It's easy to talk the talk, but how many can really walk the walk?

I've heard this theory too many times, the problem is that retail investors can’t tell when the real opportunity is.
---
The incremental position model carries quite a bit of risk; in a volatile market, one stop loss can wipe you out.
---
The key is still mindset; whether one can really restrain themselves from chasing the price or replenishing their margin, that's the hardest part.
---
There are some valid points, but can the 2% stop loss principle really be maintained? It's a human nature issue.
---
Rolling correctly 3 to 4 times from 50,000 to 1 million requires perfect conditions—market, timing, and mindset all need to align.
---
It's really about waiting for the right momentum, but when the right moment comes, everyone is waiting, and very few dare to take a Heavy Position.
---
Taking 30% off to lock in profits is indeed a reasonable point; otherwise, the money earned could be lost the moment you turn around.
---
You don't need to trade contracts; you can roll with Spot, so why insist on using leverage?
---
To put it bluntly, it's still largely a matter of luck; everyone understands the methodology, but it collapses when it comes to execution.

Really, this logic sounds simple, but the hardest part to implement is still the mindset. The promised 2% stop loss gets wrecked with just one wave of decline.
Wait, how do you judge that "smart money has entered the market"? By looking at the volume? Isn't that just like gambling?
Sounds good, rolling from 50,000 to 1,000,000 is just talk. The people I know who made 200,000 started to get reckless... There are really not many who can stick to a 30% gain.

Rolling over 3-4 times can turn 50,000 into 10 million? Sounds easy, but how many can truly maintain a 2% stop loss...
It sounds nice, but the key is still the mindset; that "just stay put if it hasn't come" is the hardest part.
It feels like telling a story; should we look at how many around us have really rolled into millions.
Compound interest sounds great, but missing out on one market trend nullifies it all; can we really underestimate this risk?
1 million is not the end; it's just the place where you can start to breathe; if you haven't reached this number, it's time to wake up early.
