The Reality of Chasing a 100x
If you want a true 100x, the path is rarely a straight line.
Typical sequence many long-term holders face:
> You catch the first leg and ride a 5x.
> Then comes an 80% drawdown that brings you back near break-even.
> The next major move delivers a 10x — and conviction is tested again.
> Another strong run follows (often another multi-bagger), making it feel easy.
> Then a sharp 70–80% correction hits before the final leg that completes the 100x.
Most people exit during one of the deep pullbacks. The ones who reach the full multiple are usually those who held through multiple cycles of euphoria and pain.
This pattern has repeated across previous cycles for assets that ultimately delivered outsized returns. The emotional difficulty of sitting through large drawdowns is the real filter.
Can you hold through the full sequence, or do the intermediate 80% dips usually force an exit?
