Good evening, everyone! Today, I want to share a true story buried deep in my heart for 13 years. This journey has tears of regret, the ecstasy of sudden wealth, and insights about growth and redemption. As a female analyst who has battled in the crypto world for 13 years, I hope to tell you my stories from these years, hoping to inspire those of you fighting in the crypto space ✨
One, the wealth swallowed by the trash can 💔
In the summer of 2012, the air was filled with the fragrance of gardenias, and I was still a student filled with naive hopes for the future. I remember that day after school when the computer teacher secretly stopped me and handed me a pizza box, mysteriously saying: 'The teacher saved you three pieces of 'digital pizza', which might be useful for you in the future～' At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all and took it as a joke from the teacher.
The teacher installed a strange software on my clunky old laptop, displaying a long string of alphanumeric characters on the screen. He said this was my 'pizza box' and I should take good care of it. I nodded, somewhat understanding, until I graduated and switched computers, tossing that USB drive filled with course materials and this 'pizza box' into the trash 🚮. Looking back now, that was 3 bitcoins! At the time, each bitcoin was worth less than $10. Who would have thought this forgotten digital asset would stir up a storm in the future?
Fast forward to 2017, that winter was particularly bustling. Street vendors were discussing a strange word—Bitcoin. The daily commuters in subway stations were refreshing a wildly rising K-line chart, and I suddenly recalled the teacher's words from years ago! When I nervously searched for 'Bitcoin price,' the fluctuating $19,789 on the screen took my breath away—3 bitcoins, worth 415,000 Yuan at that time!
I rushed home like a madman, rummaging through everything. The old computer had long been recycled, and the USB drive in the trash was nowhere to be found. That night, I squatted on the floor and cried all night, feeling as if I had tossed a whole house into the trash 💔. Later, every time I thought of this incident, I couldn't help but slap my thigh. My friends said I must have been out of my mind back then, but who could have predicted the future?
Two, the crazy altcoin dream 📉
In a state of mental collapse, I made my first foolish decision. In December 2017, I secretly took 10,000 Yuan of pocket money given by my parents and rushed into the market at Bitcoin's peak. At that time, I was like someone possessed, joining over a dozen 'get rich quick in crypto' groups, where the 'gods' in the group enthusiastically recommended various altcoins: 'XRP has unlimited potential!' 'QTUM is the next Bitcoin!' 'ZEC is about to double!'
Looking back now, it was truly laughably naive. I divided my 10,000 Yuan into several parts, following the trend and buying all the coins recommended by the 'gods.' The night I bought in, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, fantasizing about becoming rich next month. But reality gave me a massive blow—less than a week after buying, all coins plummeted! Watching my account balance drop from 10,000 to 8,000 made me panic; when it fell to 5,000, I hid under the covers and cried; when the balance was down to 2,000, I realized those enthusiastic 'gods' had long since disappeared, leaving only panicked novices like me in the group 😭
Weird people are just fools! This phrase describes me at that time. In panic, I made an even more foolish move—chasing highs and selling lows. I heard ONT was skyrocketing, so I sold at a loss and invested everything in ONT, only to see it drop to just 1,000; then I heard EOS was about to explode, and I again sold everything at a loss for EOS, leaving only 500 bucks in my account 💸.
10,000 Yuan turned into 500 Yuan, a 95% drop—this kind of pain is something that those who haven't experienced it will never understand.
On July 28, 2018, the day Bitcoin dropped to $8,200, I looked at the only 500 Yuan left in my account and, with tears, exchanged them all for Bitcoin, then uninstalled all trading software. That day's sunlight was particularly glaring, yet I felt the whole world was gray; during those days, I didn't dare to mention trading coins to anyone, fearing being laughed at as a fool.
Three, the rebirth code in the K-line chart 📚
Life's turning points often appear in the most desperate moments. On April 2, 2019, I inexplicably redownloaded the market software, and the price of Bitcoin glaringly showed $4,888. This number was like a ray of light, suddenly illuminating my dark world. What surprised me even more was that I still had Bitcoin worth 298 Yuan in my account! Although it was pitifully small, it seemed like a hint from fate.
It was on that day that I met the noble person in my life—a teacher proficient in wave theory. His precise predictions of market trends in the live stream deeply attracted me. Those seemingly chaotic K-line charts actually hid the codes for price movements in his eyes. I mustered the courage to tell him my story, and the teacher earnestly told me: 'The crypto world can indeed make one rich overnight, but without understanding the technology, no amount of money will last. Real traders rely on analysis and discipline, not luck.'
This sentence woke me up. Yes, as someone who can't even read K-lines, why did I think I could make money in the crypto world? I gritted my teeth and spent 2,000 Yuan to enroll in the teacher's course, which was half a month's living expenses for me at the time, and I felt pain for several days. But looking back now, this was the wisest investment of my life ✨
From then on, I began a frenzied learning mode. Every day after returning home, I would study K-line charts in front of my computer until late at night, filling my notebook with the traces of wave theory, with my bedside piled high with professional books like (Dow Theory)(Volume Price Analysis)(Adam's Loss Investment Theory). The teacher not only taught me technical analysis but also shared his trading strategies and recommended potential coins.
I took out 5,000 Yuan of pocket money again, along with the remaining 298 Yuan in my account, and started practical exercises with the teacher. To my surprise, in just one month, my assets actually doubled! When I saw my account balance exceed 10,000, I jumped up in excitement. At that moment, I finally understood what it meant to 'see light at the end of the tunnel' 🌼
Even more surprising was yet to come. On June 26, 2019, the day Bitcoin hit $13,970, my account balance reached an astonishing 20,800 Yuan. From 5,298 to 20,800 Yuan in just two months—fourfold returns! This amount might seem trivial to many big shots, but for me back then, it was my first pot of gold brought by technology, a glimmer of hope ☀️
Four, the wealth siege and spiritual breakthrough 🚗
Just when I thought I had found the key to wealth, the teacher chose to retire from the crypto world in July 2019. He said he had achieved financial freedom and wanted to return to a peaceful life. The teacher's departure made me feel like I had lost my support; that panic was even stronger than when my account was losing money—without the teacher's guidance, could I continue to profit? Could I make it on my own?
Fortunately, the teacher gave me precious advice before leaving. He urged me to systematically learn various technical theories: wave theory, Dow theory, golden ratio theory, K-line theory... He particularly recommended I read 'Financial Psychology: Mastering the Essence of Market Fluctuations,' saying: 'Only by understanding the intentions of major players can one go further.'
With the teacher's advice in mind, I began my journey of learning while practicing. Every month, I added 10,000 Yuan of principal. By February 2020, I had already invested 80,000 Yuan, and with previous profits, my account balance reached 150,000. It was at this time that the infamous '312' in crypto history came—on March 12, 2020, Bitcoin plummeted 50% in one day, dropping to a low of $3,782, and the whole market was in mourning.
Just as everyone was panic-selling, I remembered the teacher taught me 'be greedy when others are fearful.' Based on my analysis of the technical aspects, I judged this was an excellent opportunity to buy the dip. The moment I trembled and put all my funds in, my heart was pounding as if it was about to leap out. It turned out that technical analysis gave me the confidence; in the following months, the market gradually warmed up. I not only made six times my investment but also seized several hundredfold opportunities in September 🚀
On November 10, 2021, Bitcoin hit a historical high of $69,000, and my account also experienced explosive growth. Sand, Mana, Luna, Matic, Theta... these coins I had carefully selected all achieved over a hundredfold increase! Coupled with reasonable use of contract leverage, I gained wealth that I couldn't even imagine.
However, sudden wealth did not bring the expected happiness. Due to policy restrictions, wealth in the crypto world felt more like a string of numbers, hard to cash out. I bought the GranCabrio of my dreams, traveling around with my girlfriends, living a life of eating and sleeping. But it wasn't long before a sense of emptiness engulfed me.
Watching the constantly fluctuating numbers in my account, I often asked myself: 'What is the purpose of life?' When I realized that the crypto world might just be a game of joy beans, a huge sense of frustration descended upon me. It was then that I suddenly awoke: when life loses its pursuit, it also loses its source of upward momentum.
Five, the inheritance of technology and new battlegrounds 🌱
'Living is about creating value for oneself, exerting every bit of residual heat, warming this earth, and contributing to society.' Once this thought arises, it is impossible to shake off. I recalled the teacher's help to me and decided to pass on this kindness—helping more people change their destiny through learning technology.
Thirteen years in the crypto world taught me: technical backwardness means getting beaten; understanding technology is the way to stand firm. In 2019, the teacher helped me achieve a fourfold increase in assets in two months using technology, and in 2021, I gained enormous wealth through technology. Now, in 2025, I hope to share this technology with more people.
At the same time, I was also exploring new battlegrounds—the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets. After all, no matter how many joy beans there are in the crypto world, it's still a digital game, while stock market wealth is what can truly be spent. This is also why many successful traders return to the stock market after retiring from the crypto world—I'm definitely not the only one!
Now, I feel fulfilled every day. During the day, I analyze trends and research potential coins, and at night, I study the movements of A-shares and Hong Kong stocks. When I see my fans gaining profits using the methods I taught, that sense of accomplishment is worth more than any joy beans. I finally understand that the meaning of life is not about how much wealth one has, but about how much value one can bring to others.
The ups and downs of 13 years, from the regret of losing 3 bitcoins to achieving financial freedom through technology, to finding the true meaning of life—this journey is full of tears and laughter, confusion and enlightenment. If you ask me what my biggest gain from the crypto world is, I would tell you: it's not the numbers in the account, but the mindset honed through the market, the technical knowledge that benefits me for a lifetime, and the immense sense of accomplishment gained from helping others ❤️
I hope my story can give you a little strength in your struggle. Remember, there are no shortcuts in the investment journey, but mastering the right methods can minimize detours. May we continue to grow in the waves of the market, not only gaining wealth but also finding the value of life ✨
