Ben Simpson outlines how he would turn $100k into $1M in crypto by taking concentrated, cyclical risk in altcoins—particularly layer-1 networks (Ethereum, Solana, etc.). His plan: allocate heavily to the right altcoins during the current cycle (seeking 10x growth), take profits into stablecoins near the cycle peak (expected within ~12 months), hold stables through the down/bear phase (which he estimates could last one to two years), then redeploy into undervalued altcoins in the bear market and in later cycles rotate gains into bitcoin to preserve wealth. He emphasizes cycle timing, risk-taking, and that achieving 10x likely requires near-perfect execution over one or two cycles.

$120,000

He says he has "made seven figures" in crypto.

Start with $100,000 and target $1,000,000 (10x).

About 12 months (he says "over the next 12 months" and to take profits "probably in the next 12 months").

He estimates it could be up to one to two years.

I've made seven figures in crypto, but I've also lost 120k on a single trade. So if I had to start again from 100k and build it up to a million dollars, here's how I do it in crypto. Now, the first thing you need to understand is that altcoins will outperform bitcoin if you're in the right altcoins, the right time right now, I believe is an amazing time where you're going to get good growth on altcoins over the next 12 months. They're going to outperform bitcoin. Ultimately, if you want to get from 100k to a million, that's a 10x, that's a big growth. You need to take risk and you also need to think about cycles. You need to take advantage of where we are right now with the altcoin sectors, take profits probably in the next 12 months when we start to hit the peak of this cycle, I believe it's going to go well into next year. Take profits on those altcoins, stack stable coins. The next downward period is going to probably take, you know, let's say it could be up to a year, could be two years. You then redeploy those stables back into the bear market, which is going to give us really good exposure to undervalued altcoins, where all the pain is. And then you go again. Now on that second cycle, you're then going to want to rotate a lot of those altcoins into bitcoin because you want to preserve that wealth. But where do I put that 100k into 1 million right now is ultimately the layer one sectors. I believe these layer ones, Ethereum, Solana, etc are going to outperform bitcoin. But you need to make sure you're tracking the cycle properly to take profit, profits the right time. Because you need to be risk on to get a 10x growth, which means you're going to be far more into altcoins if you miss the top, you're going to delay this for a long, long time. But it is possible. But it's probably going to take you two cycles and you need to do it absolutely perfectly to do it. So that's how I take 100k to a million. If I was to do it today.
