Someone once told me a story: an ordinary college student, by the end of 2023, got involved in the cryptocurrency world. His originally orderly campus life was completely disrupted by money and desire. When the price fell, he panicked; when he faced liquidation, he regretted it; when the price rose, he was excited; when he made a profit, he was thrilled. And some, because of a gambler's mentality, even walked towards a dead end.
He told me that the money here comes from other people's pockets—maybe from high-ranking officials or delivery workers wanting to turn their fortunes around. Behind the huge profits lies the risk of losing everything at any moment. Some small exchanges can even leverage 100 to control 4000 in assets, making him instantly addicted.
When he first entered the circle, his mind was filled with legendary coins like PEPE and BONK, fantasizing about becoming a 'contract war god'. Reality quickly gave him a loud slap in the face: he lost 2000 in two months. It wasn't a one-time all-in, but in repeated unwillingness, he chased up and down, being toyed with by the market. Later, he learned about K-lines, looked at Fibonacci, and checked foreign news, thinking he could turn the tables, but still fell into greed: clearly knowing to set profit-taking and stop-loss, he kept thinking 'just a little more increase', resulting in lost profits and wiped out capital.
After multiple liquidations, he set rules for himself: only play contracts of 10U, once a month. He shifted to spot trading, earning slowly, but the capital wouldn't be wiped out, which could be considered a shift from 'getting rich quick' to 'financial management'. He made a small profit with PEPE, but the capital was limited, and the daily fluctuations were only a few dozen.
After that, he followed the trend to play the Telegram mini-games. Initially, one person could play three 100U projects on one device. Being greedy, he opened four accounts, learned to control multiple accounts, and after a few months, the market became a bloody ocean, and the earnings from four accounts were not even as good as before with one account, so he had to give up in the end.
Later on, he started working on testnets, following the community to do projects. After half a year, he made a little over a thousand relying solely on PLUME, but due to insufficient persistence, he missed a tenfold opportunity and fell into the Pixiu plate scam.
By October, his progress in preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam was zero, spending two days a week in bed playing 'Doge'; he borrowed 3000 from Alipay and 2500 from a brother, leaving only over 600 on him. Clearly, a monthly living expense of 2000 was enough, but in order to 'expand funds for more profits', he fell into debt. He often asked himself, is this really the life he wants?
In the end: The temptation of the cryptocurrency world is great, but the risks are even greater. Anyone wanting to enter this circle must be cautious: do not blindly follow trends, do not use living expenses to gamble for high profits, keep a light position, understand stop-loss, and maintain a good mindset, which is more important than any high-profit story. The cryptocurrency world is not a shortcut to rapid wealth, but a market that requires patience, discipline, and rationality. Enter cautiously, protect your capital well, and you can go further.#鲍威尔发言 #巨鲸动向 #美国加征关税
