This is a crazy era. Some people become rich overnight in the crypto world, while others lose everything overnight.
And I am just an inexperienced beginner, starting with—100 dollars.
But I want to tell you, as long as the mindset is right, 100 dollars can also lead to a ladder to 100,000.
Stage one: Recognize reality, survive first
When you only have 100 USDT, don't think about 'multiplying the next order by ten.'
You are not a gambler; you are an entrepreneur, building a sustainable path to profit.
The first thing I did was to understand the map of the crypto world:
What is spot trading? What is a contract? What is on-chain?
Which are the mainstream platforms? Which ones have hidden traps?
How to prevent being scammed?
I used the first 10 dollars to experience spot trading on Binance, earning 0.35 dollars, but that's not the main point.
The main point is: I started to understand the rules of the game.
Stage two: Discover opportunities, start with arbitrage
I found that there are some 'stable but not extremely profitable' methods suitable for beginners:
Arbitrage between exchanges(Buy cheap on platform A, sell expensive on platform B)
New coin launches(There are airdrops, lotteries, and whitelists)
On-chain activity mining / testnet tasks
These methods may only earn a few dollars per transaction, but what if you make 10 transactions, or 100?
During the period of 100 dollars, I participated in:
OKX new coin lottery (didn't win, paid tuition)
Arbitrage on Gate (earned 18 dollars)
An obscure airdrop task (successfully claimed worth 35 USDT)
I record every profit, accumulating capital + experience.
Stage three: Find the 'leverage' and build a profitable system
When my capital exceeded 1,000 dollars, I made a significant change:
No longer rely on trading to make money, but on 'providing services' to earn.
For example:
I wrote a (quick start guide for crypto beginners) using AI tools and sold it on Gumroad
I created a Twitter account to share 'on-chain airdrops' and attracted thousands of followers
Opened a Telegram channel to provide daily arbitrage tips and charge a membership fee
The startup costs for these projects are almost zero, at most just hiring someone to make a cover image or buying a premium tool.
But the returns are quite substantial—these are the methods for 'sustainably increasing your capital.'
Stage four: Cross the bull and bear markets, rely on knowledge to become wealthy
In the crypto world, no one earns 100,000 from a single operation; those who truly make big money rely on:
"Advance layout + time compounding + emotional stability + reverse thinking."
When the bull market comes, you don't rush in blindly; you are already prepared:
Selected several potential coins for long-term holding
Gained traffic channels, community resources, and automated scripts
Had the opportunity to get early whitelists / IDOs for projects
Every penny you earn is a reward for not giving up in a bear market and learning from small amounts.
In conclusion: From 100 dollars to 100,000 dollars is a journey of 'growth.'
I did not become rich overnight, nor am I a financial genius.
I was once a beginner who didn't even understand 'contracts.'
But I have a belief:
Opportunities in this world always belong to those who are patient, willing to learn, and can persist.
You can start with 100 dollars, not because you have capital, but because you have courage.
So, if you are also the one standing at the entrance of the crypto world with 100 USDT,
Don't rush to double it, take the first step first. You will thank that persistent self.
