$10,000, less than 70,000 RMB.

If you can achieve a stable doubling each year (100% return),
After 4 years: 10k → 160k USD (about 1.1 million RMB) — crossing the A7 threshold.
In the 7th year: $1.28 million (about 8.8 million RMB) — steady at A8.
In the 11th year: $20.48 million (about 14 million+ RMB) — officially entering A9.
How many people in the crypto world with years of experience truly have **own funds** and **pure liquidity cash flow** that can stay stable above A7?
A8 is even rarer.
Many of the flashy, daily car and villa showcase influencers you see are often survivor bias. Those who have truly lost everything, gone into debt, or even gone bankrupt, have no mood or place to speak out.
Losses are the most effective silencer in trading markets.
Most people have already lost to the point of “cognitive impairment.”
Even more brutally: many still carry mortgage and car loans, and don’t even own their own homes. Their daily life is just watching K-line charts, chasing news, listening to calls, and gambling on directions…
What’s the point of such days?
True compound interest is not a myth of tripling, quintupling, or decupling in a year.
It’s **doing the right thing for a long time, not falling back into poverty, and maintaining at least “only” 1x growth each year**.
That alone is enough to be historically significant.
Look at those who boast about 3x or 5x in a year; many can’t even achieve 1x over three years — there’s always a collapse somewhere along the way: emotional outbursts, chasing highs and killing lows, frequent repositioning, leverage liquidations, project scams, hacking attacks, policy crackdown…
Achieving 3x in a year is easy, but **stably 1x over three years** is hard.
One time 1x per year is enough, really.
Crypto opportunities are indeed abundant: DeFi, meme coins, Layer2, AI, RWA, US stocks, gold, spot trading, derivatives…
But can you grasp them all?
Those who can survive long-term almost all do subtraction: focus on 1-2 proven systems, and after making money, **forcefully withdraw part of it** (to secure gains), and stick to discipline during drawdowns, not breaking rules easily.
Only this way can you approach that mathematical expectation — the compound interest curve that has happened before and is highly likely to happen again in the future.
In summary:
**Stay focused, don’t fall back into poverty.**
The rest, time and math will help you accomplish.
