Let's make a bold prediction: what would happen if you invested 100 dollars in DOT (currently priced at about 1.85 dollars)?

First, use the calculator to calculate it once. This 100 yuan can roughly buy 54 DOT. Then, stare at these numbers and dream:

Rise to 5 dollars → 100 dollars instantly changes to 270 dollars (2.7 times)
Rising to $10 → Becomes $540 (5.4 times)
Rising to $25 → Turning into $1350 (13.5 times)
If a miracle happens and DOT returns to its historical high of 55 dollars → your 100 dollars would turn into about 3000 dollars, a 30-fold increase!

This set of numbers indeed makes one's adrenaline surge. DOT has plummeted over 96% from its peak, yet it remains an important player in the Layer-0 infrastructure space. Betting 100 yuan on a chance that could yield 30 times seems like that ticket of "limited risk, unlimited reward"—and you don't even need to spend a lot of money.

But there's a question here: have you put too much brain capacity into the fantasy of "if it goes up," while ignoring the real probabilities of "continuing to go down" or "long-term fluctuations"? Worse yet, in chasing these types of multiple games, have you sacrificed your own risk buffer? Have you established a "financial foundation" that allows you to confidently hold these volatile assets and can withstand a complete market cycle?

High multiples are very tempting. But the difference between lottery and investment lies here.
