Don't remind me again today

#ETH价格走势解读 Someone asked me what the craziest play in the crypto market is. The answer is just two words: compounding positions.



This isn’t like holding coins and waiting it out—it’s either financial freedom or total wipeout. I’ve seen too many cases: one trader started with $1,000 and managed to roll it up to $130,000 in just three months. How did he do it? It comes down to three things: ruthless, steady, patient.

The strategy isn’t complicated: start with 100x leverage, use only a small position each time (like $10), and a 1% gain doubles your money. The key is to immediately withdraw half the profit to secure your principal, and reinvest the rest. In theory, if you win 11 times in a row, $10 can turn into $10,000—but 99% of people can’t even make it to the fifth round.

Why? Because human nature has three fatal flaws:
When you make money, you get arrogant and want to go bigger;
When you lose, you refuse to accept it and keep trying to win it back, increasing your bets;
When you can’t see the trend clearly, you make random moves—going long today and short tomorrow.

My own survival rule is simple—cut losses immediately if I’m wrong; if I lose 20 times in a row, I quit for good; once I make $5,000, I cash out; I don’t chase hypes or mess around, only move when there’s a clear opportunity. Last year, there was a one-sided market—I rolled $500 up to $500,000 in three days, but before that, I hadn’t made a single move for four months.

Compounding positions is never about gambling every day—it’s about waiting for the right wind before setting sail.

Is it still playable in today’s market? Ask yourself three questions first:
Is volatility high enough for high leverage to pay off?
Is the trend clearly one-sided?
Can you just take the middle part and give up trying to catch the top and bottom?

If all three answers are yes, then you’re ready to play.

After watching so many times, I still think that 99% of people just fail due to their mindset, really. It's useless to just say you know how to play; the key is whether you can hold back. Every time I see others making money, I get itchy; this habit needs to change.

Sounds nice, but 99% of people will still get liquidated on the second try.

You're not wrong, but I still think most people can't really play this trap; their mentality collapses too quickly.

actually, the math here doesn't quite add up... let me break this down. you're describing compounding returns where 1% gains on 100x leverage = theoretical exponential growth, but ceteris paribus, this ignores liquidation cascades and slippage friction. the real issue is incentive misalignment — you're betting against the house while the house controls volatility itself.
