#数字资产市场动态 Making the first million in the crypto market is honestly not easy.
From zero to one million, I’ve seen too many people fall short. Some lose confidence during market corrections, some get trapped by greed, and some go all-in without learning risk management. But the real challenge isn’t just earning that first million; it’s whether you can keep it after you’ve made it.
Why is holding onto it so crucial? Because it’s not just money; it’s your ticket into the world of compound interest. That million sitting there could start working for you—whether through long-term holdings of mainstream assets like $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, or by participating in liquidity mining, staking, and other ecosystem mechanisms. But the key is, you have to be alive to see that day.
Many people find it easier to fall after earning a little. Their mindset shifts, risk awareness drops, and they think they’ve gained some enlightenment. As a result, when the next market cycle hits, they’re knocked back to square one. So rather than seeing that million as the end of wealth, it’s more like a watershed—some start their compounding journey from here, some begin to shrink slowly, and others go straight to zero.
I’d love to hear from everyone—how did you earn your first million in Web3? Sharing your story might help others later on.

Really? It's more embarrassing to hold on than to not make a profit. I have a buddy who, after earning over two million, went all-in on Meme coins, and now he's lost even fifty thousand, acting like he's not interested in the group every day.

You are absolutely right. Making money is just the beginning; holding onto it is the real skill. I've seen too many people get rich overnight only to lose everything the next, and it's truly despairing.

Really, being unable to hold on is more heartbreaking than not making a profit. Too many people around me are stuck here.

Haha, really, it's harder to hold on than to make money. I've seen too many people who earn and then lose it all.

It's probably more about not being able to hold on than actually earning. To be honest, it's the mindset that’s the hardest to overcome.

Really, being unable to hold on is more disgusting than not making a profit. I've seen too many people get carried away after earning a million, only to see their investments go to zero in the next market wave. It's a bit intimidating.

That's a real punch to the heart; holding on is a hundred times harder than earning.
