Making $25k to $200k will be hard but not impossible. You can not just simply buy and hodl and wish it to grow continuously. If you want to get the best out of your investment, you will have to take every opportunity and make a profit out of it. Future trading is risky so it is not recommended. Do spot trades instead. Buy low and sell high. You will have to be active and keep an eye on every major and minor news that could change the market sentiments. Big market movements happen in a short period because of market sentiments. So you need to master the art of sentiment analysis.
But if you can lower your expectations and stick to the process, you will be profitable for sure without taking a huge risk. That is to just buy and HODL. Buy now using the DCA method and then wait for the Bull market to start. Then you can take your profit.
