That summer, I was harshly educated by the cryptocurrency world.
In these years of trading, what I remember the most is that hot summer when I first entered the market.
At that time, I was moving goods in the factory during the day and hiding in a corner of the internet cafe at night, staring at the candlestick chart,
with 30,000 yuan saved up over a year in my hand, my heart racing like a drum beating wildly in my chest.
Every price fluctuation felt like a small explosion in my heart.
Bitcoin had just broken 30,000, and I gritted my teeth—bought 0.5 Bitcoin.
At that moment, I thought I was going to get rich.
In just three months, BTC surged to 35,000,
I was checking the market daily, even reluctant to leave the screen for meals.
Some advised me to take profits, I laughed:
"The bull market has just begun, why sell?"
Later, I realized that this sentence was the memory I wanted to delete the most.
Half a year later, Bitcoin surged to 60,000, and the whole network was celebrating.
Showing off profits, quitting jobs to travel, shouting 'financial freedom'—
Everyone seemed to have hit the jackpot.
I thought I would wait a bit longer, sell when it broke 70,000.
But time doesn't wait for anyone.
When the Mentougou incident occurred, the market turned on a dime, and BTC fell from 60,000 to 40,000.
I was watching the market while comforting myself: "It's just a washout."
Two days later, my account was a sea of red, my hand trembled, and I closed my position at 40,000.
That time, I made 51,000, but when I saw BTC hit a new high soon after, I lost sleep that night.
I finally understood—the most expensive thing in the cryptocurrency world is not losing money, but:
Not selling when I should have.
Since then, I started:
Keeping a trading diary, setting profit and loss limits, controlling positions, and avoiding leverage.
From greed to calm, from gambler to trader,
All thanks to the pain of losses.
0.5 Bitcoin is not much,
But it taught me the truest saying in the cryptocurrency world:
Only those who survive are qualified to talk about getting rich.
