I've been trading (?) cryptocurrencies for a little over 5 years and have always had little to no success even doubling my money. I know I know, it's not supposed to be easy to double your money.
I work in finance so I understand that a 20% annualized gain is already a ridiculous amount.

I have however seen players doubling, tripling, 10xing their money through a variety of ways of which I can list here:

-Bitmex, Deribit etc. Perpetual Futures leveraged trading (1-100 x leverage - SUPER HIGH RISK)
-ICO/IEO trading (4-5 returns, MEDIUM RISK)
-Spot Trading (BTC/USD, MEDIUM RISK)
-Deribit Options (MEDIUM RISK)
-Cross Exchange Arbs/DEX Arbing (Buying alts on Dex before exchange launching on Binance - requires insider information)
-Gambling Games (Dice, etc.)

Does anyone else have any ideas to share or methods that consistently gives them good gains?

my opinion on 100X margin
Worth reading..

Ok, if you work on finance you should know not every portfolio is able to take the risk of those guys who doubled even tripled their money.

That's something should be obvious, so if you have a big portfolio of more +2M 20% it's an exceptional performance "yearly".

something I disagree with you is IEO and ICOS, these are horrible business models and are not worth investing, I know that many of the early investors on the IEOS of the binance lauchpad gave unexpected profits to those ones with the balls to take the risk, but is worth the risk?

also after the first ICO, bittorrent if I'm not wrong they gave limits on the invest size, "to be fair with anyone", So a big portfolio invested on an IEO is not something smart, SPOT and low leverage trading should be your path since you have said you are a guy that has work in the environment of the financial services.

Arbitrage could.. be other of the mediums to make money if made right, with a Quantitive model and a bot with great infrastructure, Servers, Ping,...

and Gambling?

that sounds dumb, you know the house win over time!!, so stop trying to impersonate someone who really works into the financial services industry.
