In May 2025, a Gen Z player posted a video on TikTok: entering with 5000 yuan, after 83 days, the account showed 2.6 million USD, then withdrew a Rolls Royce Ghost (with a delivery price of 5.3 million yuan). As the camera swept over the Flying Goddess emblem on the steering wheel, the comments exploded: "Is this a gift from fate, or a devil's contract?" In the magical theater of cryptocurrency, scripts of wealth leaps are constantly performed, yet few see the bloody truth behind the curtain.
1. Three Laws of Getting Rich: Leverage, Narrative, and Capital's 'Lightning Fission'
❶ Altcoins: Capturing tenfold nuclear explosions in the 'narrative bubble' The rise of the 2025 AI concept coin 'GPT-Coin' is a textbook-level case:
Story Nuclear Explosion Point: Binding OpenAI's computing power demand, claiming '1 token exchanges for 1 hour of GPT-5 usage', with Twitter KOL matrix bombing, the number of addresses exceeded 500,000 in 3 days;
Liquidity Trap: In the private placement round, only 10 addresses release 20% of tokens, and after going online, when it rises to 100 times, the project party manipulates through 100 small accounts to create the illusion of 'institutional rush to buy';
Retail Investors' Charge: Unit prices skyrocketed from 0.1 USD to 12 USD, turning 5000 yuan into 600,000, while early private investors have cashed out 120 million USD — this is the ultimate rule of the crypto world where 'narrative outweighs value'.
❷ Leverage Game: Using 20x leverage to hit the 'halving cycle'
In the volatility frenzy triggered by Bitcoin's fourth halving, leveraged players staged 'minute-level wealth accumulation':
20x Leverage Myth: With 10,000 yuan of principal to long a new public chain token (like Aptos ecosystem token APT), a 5% price increase can double it; when APT breaks 300 USD in 2025, a certain contract account surged from 8000 yuan to 800,000 within 12 hours;
Cross-Chain Leveraged Arbitrage: Utilize the funding rate difference between Binance futures and OKX perpetual contracts, cycle long and short hedging, controlling risk exposure within 5%, achieving daily returns of 8%-15%.
❸ NFT Financialization: The 'magical mapping' from virtual skins to real wealth
A certain automotive brand launched a 'Web3 Exclusive NFT', allowing early holders to experience the dizziness of wealth fission:
Equity Fission: Holding the 'Black Gold Key NFT' can be exchanged for free maintenance of Maybach and VIP seats at car shows, and it was hyped up to 50ETH (150,000 USD) on OpenSea;
Metaverse Asset Securitization: A certain virtual racetrack land NFT, due to binding the live broadcast rights of real-world F1 events, surged from 2000 USD to 140,000 USD within 30 days; players who bought 5 plots early made over 7 million USD in paper profit.
2. From 5000 yuan to 5 million: The 'devilish details' of the wealth accumulation script
Stage One: Seed Fission (5000 → 50,000) — Betting on the track in the 'New Narrative'
Track Selection Iron Rule: Focus on 'New Public Chains + AI + Cross-Chain' as the three major engines of wealth, diversifying into 3 projects (1500 yuan each):
Cross-Chain Interaction Protocol 'LinkHub': Exploding due to the zkSync ecosystem, after the testnet token airdrop, it skyrocketed 200 times upon launch, 1500 yuan turned into 300,000;
AI-generated art coin 'ArtGPT': Riding on the concept of a competitor to MidJourney, after entering the private placement round, it doubled in a week, turning 1500 yuan into 3000 yuan.
Stop Loss Red Line: For a single project, losses exceeding 40% lead to forced liquidation (to avoid a certain 'metaverse real estate coin' zeroing trap).
Stage Two: Leverage Frenzy (50,000 → 2 million) — 'Snowballing' in volatility
Contract Aggressive Strategy: When Bitcoin breaks 120,000 USD, use 10x leverage to long Solana ecosystem token SOL, set a 'trailing stop loss' (after 30% profit, move stop loss up to cost + 10%), if SOL rises from 200 USD to 260 USD (+30%), 50,000 principal becomes 150,000;
Cross-Protocol Lending Arbitrage: Utilize Aave's ETH lending rate (3%) and Compound's ETH deposit rate (7%), cycle borrowing 20 times, with monthly returns reaching 22% (50,000 becomes 61,000).
Stage Three: Anchoring Reality (2 million → 5 million) — From 'Digital Symbols' to 'Physical Anchoring'
Asset Rebalancing: 40% transferred to Bitcoin spot (anti-dip and value preservation), 30% cash for purchasing a Rolls Royce Ghost (5.3 million cash), 30% layout in 'AI Computing Power + DeFi Insurance' tracks;
Luxury Car Philosophy: A certain veteran in the crypto world uses 20% of his wealth to purchase real estate in core cities, hedging crypto volatility with 'real assets' — when the bear market hits in 2025, the appreciation of his property offsets 60% of the decline in digital assets.
3. Bloody Truth: 99.9% of people are becoming 'liquidation fuel'
❶ Zeroing Factory: A more efficient 'wealth harvesting' than a Ponzi scheme
2025 DeFi Pulse data: 92% of newly launched liquidity mining pools stop reward distribution within 60 days, 85% of token prices fall below the issuance price by 90%. An investor went all in on 'Web3 Education Coin' EDU, the project raised funds under the pretense of 'connecting with UNESCO', and three weeks later, the official website was closed, leaving only commemorative badges in the wallet from an initial investment of 50,000 yuan — the white paper of such projects is essentially a 'scythe user manual'.
❷ Leverage Meat Grinder: A 10% drop can make you 'owe the exchange'
On April 20, 2025, BTC plummeted from 120,000 to 105,000 (-12.5%), with 2.8 billion USD in contracts liquidated across the network. A certain office worker used a credit card to cash out 100,000 to open a 50x leverage position, and was liquidated within 15 minutes, owing the platform 37,000 — the essence of leveraged trading is 'betting today's luck with tomorrow's salary'.
❸ Regulatory Strangulation: The SEC's 'Registration System' is strangling the dream of getting rich quickly
The SEC defines 120 cryptocurrencies as 'unregistered securities', and a certain decentralized lending platform froze all USD stablecoin assets due to users from the US. More severely, a compliant exchange was fined 180 million USD due to KYC loopholes, and the user withdrawal cycle was extended to 90 days — when the get-rich train crashes into the regulatory iceberg, passengers may not even be able to buy an 'escape ticket'.
4. The 'Awakening of Value' Behind the Rolls Royce Emblem
❶ Survivor's Curse: The wealth you see is a 'probability bias' after 100,000 liquidations
Blockchain browser data reveals the truth: for every address that turns '5000 yuan into 5 million,' there are 100,000 'zeroing addresses' behind it. Traders with over 50% win rates in the contract market account for only 1.2%, and those who can maintain profits for over 3 years have a lower probability than winning the lottery — those 'successful' individuals flaunting their luxury cars are merely 'lucky' ones who haven't been cleared from the gambling table.
❷ Wealth Cognition Paradox: When the K-line goes to zero, luxury cars may become 'debt shackles'
In 2024, the 'crypto king' who got rich from SHIB, became addicted to 100x leverage after purchasing a Rolls Royce, and during the Fed's interest rate hike cycle in 2025, suffered liquidation, not only losing tens of millions in assets but also developing depression due to luxury car loan pressures — true financial freedom is not the carnival of numbers, but the confidence of 'even if the crypto market goes to zero, I still have the ability to earn continuously'.
❸ Awakening of Value Investment: From 'Speculator' to 'Reality Value Capturer'
When smart money begins to withdraw from pure conceptual speculation and turn to 'AI computing power leasing' and 'Web3 infrastructure' landing tracks: some invest crypto earnings in AI data annotation companies (annual return rate 25%), while others layout blockchain security auditing (enjoying industry compliance dividends) — these 'counter-crypto operations' instead achieve more sustainable wealth accumulation. As Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater, said: 'True wealth comes from the ability to create value for the world.'
The 'Awakening Agent' under the Flying Goddess Statue
The myth of getting rich in the crypto world is like the starry sky of a Rolls Royce — brilliant yet illusory. The story of turning 5000 yuan into 5 million is reenacted every day, but what more people lose is their principal, time, and even their lives. Those luxury cars parked in garages might be gifts from fate, or more likely, tickets to the 'leverage meat grinder'.
True wisdom lies behind the stories of getting rich:
Participate with no more than 5% of disposable income, losing doesn't affect life, winning is just an unexpected joy;
Treat 'crypto experience' as tuition for cognitive upgrade, not a shortcut to change destiny;
Remember: When you're ecstatic about the K-line's surge, 'zeroing' and 'liquidation' are brewing in the currents of the computing power ocean.
The ultimate answer to financial freedom has never been in the leverage multiples, but in the balance of 'desire and rationality'.
Perhaps, more important than owning a Rolls Royce is: maintaining a clear mind in the frenzy of cryptocurrency — after all, the true steering wheel of life is not the luxury car, but the respect for risk and the commitment to value.
