This industry is indeed crazy; some people get rich overnight, while others lose everything in an instant. I was just a complete novice with only 100 dollars, but I want to say that as long as the mindset is right, that 100 dollars can pave the way to 100,000 dollars.
In the first stage, first recognize the reality, and survive.
When you only have 100 USDT in hand, don’t keep thinking “the next trade will multiply tenfold.” You’re not here to gamble; you need to treat yourself as an entrepreneur and gradually build a sustainable path to make money.
The first thing I did was to understand the basics of this field: what spot trading is, what contracts are, how on-chain trading works; which platforms are reliable and which have hidden pitfalls; how to avoid being cut.
I tried spot trading on Binance with the initial 10 dollars and made 35 cents; that’s not the point—the point is I started to understand the rules here.
In the second stage, you need to learn to find opportunities, starting with basic arbitrage.
I found some methods suitable for beginners; although the profits aren’t high, they are stable: for example, arbitraging on different exchanges, buying low on platform A and selling high on platform B; also during new coin launches, engaging in airdrops, lotteries, and getting on whitelists; or doing on-chain mining and testnet tasks.
Each of these methods might earn just a few dollars per transaction, but if you do enough, like ten or a hundred transactions, it adds up.
When I had 100 dollars, I tried the new coin lottery on OKX, didn’t win, considered it tuition; I did arbitrage on Gate and made 18 dollars; I also did a less-known airdrop task and received coins worth 35 USDT. I noted down every dollar I earned, and my capital and experience gradually accumulated.
In the third stage, find the 'leverage' that can amplify returns and build your own money-making system.
Once my capital exceeded 1000 dollars, I made an important change: I no longer relied solely on trading for income, but started 'providing services.'
For example, I used AI tools to write a (Beginner's Quick Start Guide to Cryptocurrency) and sold it on Gumroad; I created a Twitter account to share on-chain airdrop information and gradually accumulated a few thousand followers; I also started a Telegram channel to share arbitrage tips daily and collect membership fees.
These initiatives required almost no startup capital, at most just spending some money to have someone create a cover image or buy a useful tool, but the returns were quite good; this is the way to continually increase your capital.
In the fourth stage, endure through the bull and bear markets and earn money with real skills.
In the cryptocurrency circle, no one can make 100,000 dollars from a single operation. Those who can really make big money rely on 'pre-planning + compound interest over time + emotional stability + contrarian thinking.'
When the bull market comes, you won’t rush blindly, because you are already prepared: holding a few potential coins long-term; having your own traffic channels, community resources, and automated scripts; able to get early project whitelist and IDO qualifications.
Every penny you earn is a return for not giving up during the bear market and learning bit by bit.
In summary, going from 100 dollars to 100,000 dollars is actually a process of 'growth.' I didn’t get rich overnight, nor am I some financial genius; I didn’t even understand 'contracts' before.
But I believe in one thing: opportunities always belong to those who are patient, willing to learn, and can persevere.
You can start venturing with 100 dollars, not because you have a lot of capital, but because you have courage.
So if you are holding 100 USDT, standing at the door of cryptocurrency, don’t rush to think about doubling it; take the first step first. In the future, you will definitely thank the version of yourself that didn’t give up.
