Newcomers, how to earn your first 1 million in the crypto world?

Many people come in thinking about ten million, freedom, and the God of Wealth blessing them.
But seasoned players who have survived in the circle know:
The first pot of gold is the most critical dividing line in the journey, the initial accumulation.

As long as you can go from 50,000 to 1 million,
You’ve already beaten 95% of retail investors.

The subsequent millions or tens of millions are just about replication ability.

First thing: don’t think about daily “small gains”
Look at those who do tasks, scrape small profits, and pay fees every day—by the end of the year, if a big contract goes against them, they’re wiped out.

Those who can truly grow their principal are never small daily trades,
But catch 2–3 trend waves and let compound interest roll.

Practice with small positions during normal times,
Wait for trend confirmation, wait for signal resonance, then deploy the big guns.

What is a “signal”? (Retail investors lack this the most)

1) Long sideways consolidation after a sharp decline, suddenly with high volume breakout
This is called a “reversal,” not a rebound.
The best zone for main players to build positions.

2) Daily chart above key moving averages + volume and price rising together
A mood shift is the most intuitive bullish signal.

3) No noise on the internet, no trending topics, retail investors cursing
You think no one is watching,
But smart money has already quietly entered.

Retail investors are always the last to turn bullish emotionally.
You need to learn to act early.

How to roll? Here’s a simple and effective beginner model

Taking 50,000 principal (profit) as an example 👇

① Use full position sizing with no risk of full exposure
Position limit:
Total 10% of account

Leverage ≤ 10x (actual risk ≈ 1x)

Fixed stop-loss at 2%

This setup has the highest tolerance for errors for beginners.

② First add-on after breakout
When price rises by 10%,
Use “10% of the new profit” to open further positions.

Note:
Don’t roll with all profits, only with the strongest momentum.

Keep stop-loss always at 2%.

③ The “Three No’s” principle: no all-in, no add more, no hold through
When the market is wrong, just shut down.
Every bullet you save
can be used for the next “big hit.”

⸻

Why does this method work?

In a major cycle, a big upward wave of 50%,
Using rolling positions + low stop-loss, the account can usually reach 3–4 times.

That’s 50,000 → 150,000–200,000.

Getting through two cycles means 400,000–600,000.
Three cycles means 1 million.

You might only encounter three big market moves in your lifetime,
That’s more than enough.

Risk management mantra (must be memorized by beginners)

1️⃣ Don’t roll during sideways, decline, or air-message coins
These coins will only eat your principal.

2️⃣ Use full position sizing, losing the principal only means losing the margin
Extreme market conditions won’t blow up your entire account.

3️⃣ During rolling, take profit at 30%
Don’t let greed eat your gains.
Once you hit six figures, it’s a different mindset.

⸻

Finally: Opportunity doesn’t belong to the smartest, but to the most disciplined

Don’t dream of making money every day just by inspiration.
The truly capable people are those who “wait diligently when no opportunity comes, and seize fiercely when it does.”

When you roll to your first 1 million,
You’ll naturally understand cycles, emotions, and position management.

You’ll also realize—
Wealth isn’t about talent, but about fewer mistakes + catching the trend.

Wishing every diligent retail investor to find their first pot of gold.
