Can crypto traders really hit 7-figure portfolios, or is it just survivor bias? The reality is nuanced. Yes, early adopters and sharp traders have built substantial wealth through Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins during bull runs. But here's the catch: timing, risk management, and discipline separate winners from the majority who break even or lose money. Most 7-figure stories come from long-term holders who caught major market cycles, not day traders chasing quick gains. The narrative often glosses over the failed attempts and liquidated positions. Building serious wealth in crypto isn't impossible—it's just rare and demands more than luck.

Early entry really paid off, but now? Hehe, luck plays too big a role.

honestly the mempool never lies about who's actually winning vs who's just broadcasting their wins. most of these 7-figure narratives? pure gas optimization theater. real wealth is built in the quiet moments between cycles, not in the noise of every pump. timing the market is just probability distribution work—and most traders can't even calculate their own slippage costs correctly.

Basically, it's survivor bias—those with seven-figure amounts are just lucky old-timers who got easy wins.

Survivor bias is indeed the biggest scam. I have seen too many people lose everything, yet only a few people's stories are told. Position management and discipline are the real supply lines for survival.

Survivor bias is so true. I see stories of people making seven figures every day, but no one talks about those who got liquidated.
