#数字资产市场动态 Can a thousand dollars turn into one hundred thousand? Is it really possible in the crypto world? My answer is: yes. But there's a prerequisite— you have to be able to hold on.
In 2013, a friend entered the market with Dogecoin, investing ten thousand dollars. Later, the coin's price exploded, and his account grew to 500,000. Everyone who entered at the same time was shouting to sell, and some advised him to cut losses and cash out. He didn't move, only saying, "The market is so crazy, why panic?"
A few days later, reality gave him a slap. The coin's price plummeted, and his account was left with just over a thousand dollars. At that time, he was so angry he deleted the app and decided not to look at it anymore.
That story should have ended there. Until 2022, Dogecoin took off again. He dug out his old phone, logged in, and was stunned—what the heck, his account balance had actually broken a million.
This is why a thousand dollars can make ten times more. But honestly, it requires three conditions: a bit of luck, choosing the right direction, and most importantly—the mindset to endure.
The crypto world never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who can wait. Those who frequently chase the highs and sell at the lows, stop-loss and take-profit operations, often end up missing the big moves. Conversely, those "pretending to be dead" and completely forgetting about their holdings, by uninstalling the app, often become the biggest winners.
This isn't to encourage blindly holding on. True wisdom lies in learning to read the rhythm, manage positions, recognize signals, and control discipline. But that "ability to hold" ultimately depends on self-discipline and practice.

Basically, it's just gambling on luck. If my buddy had entered DOGE a year earlier, he would have been broke by now.
Deleting the app and pretending to be dead is really the ultimate move—more profitable than those who stare at the market every day.
Ten years to turn a million? I'm still panicking. Don't fool me into thinking it's a mindset issue.
This story is actually a survivor bias, not mentioning those brothers who went bankrupt holding on.
If you can't hold, you can't hold. No matter how much you talk about mental training, it's useless.

That's right, it's all about mindset. I was the same back then—when the coin price dropped, I couldn't help but want to smash my phone.
Honestly, people who can endure are extremely rare.
I think deleting the app actually saved him; not checking the market makes you feel more at ease.

Haha, I've heard this story at least ten times, and every time someone asks me why I don't go all-in on Dogecoin... Truly, the gambling spirit is strong, everyone.

Wow, this story really feels like a needle stabbing my heart... The key is, did he really just lie down and win? Deleting the app actually made him the final winner. Isn't this just mocking fools like me who watch the market every day?

Basically, it's just good luck. Everyone wants to make easy money, but not everyone can hold on.
Wait, is this guy really holding onto it without ever moving? That's really tough.
I've learned the trick of deleting the app—out of sight, out of mind. Maybe that's the strongest holding strategy.
DOGE... this coin does have a story, but how likely is it to replicate?
The key is that most people sell off before that moment, and that's the reality.
