I originally wanted to come in with the topic of not having cried in the dark night, how to talk about life, to write a grand narrative, to show off as loudly as possible, so that this article about my Binance life, which also presents my blockchain career, would become more outstanding. However, after thinking for a long time, I found it hard to start writing because I have neither cried in the dark nor had my assets stolen after entering the crypto world. My operations have never been remarkable. What should I say? Let's start from the beginning.
In 2023, I first came into contact with the blockchain. A friend who introduced me to this world seriously told me in an almost ritualistic tone: You have come here, and you need to pay attention to two points. First: Don't touch contracts; Second: Earn some money and then survive.
Since then, I downloaded Binance and a number of other exchanges with a VPN costing 360 yuan per year, officially stepping into this bizarre and incredibly exciting world. My first bucket of gold was WLD, which bizarrely rose from over 2 yuan to 11 yuan. My principal doubled effortlessly.
Later, I even bought BOME, people, and CEL, which made me think that money could be easily made here. I thought I could be carried along this Binance journey, but then the story took a turn. In my moment of euphoria, I forgot my teacher's advice and started trading contracts. From that moment on, my inbox was filled only with margin call notifications and forced liquidation notices, and there were even some deposit emails mixed in.
Does hitting rock bottom seem to be an inevitable part of life in the crypto world? But I was not too sad, as immediately afterward I got involved with meme coins. In hindsight, I shouldn't have done it; I ended up trading ETH meme coins. The gas fees for buying, selling, and authorizing felt like I had spent a fortune, yet the female streamer just gave me a pathetic thank you.
After going through various experiences, before I came to Binance Smart Chain, I had been contemplating whether I was truly suitable for trading cryptocurrencies. Being both inexperienced and playful is indeed my label. My weakness is that I tend to take risks when I am excited. However, on KOMA and BSC, I have truly regained my confidence. Reflecting on those pushes and constructions, I shouted loudly on the BSC chain, which at the time was neglected by everyone, much like shouting the name of my crush by the lake, 800 kilometers away from my high school graduation. It may not have any significance or effect, but I found my goal and answers here.
I slowly moved from the secondary market to BSC, witnessing its rise from being ignored to becoming hot, then rapidly declining, and eventually becoming a focal superstar. Throughout, I have witnessed, participated in, and reaped rewards on Binance, whether the outcome was what I desired or not. After all, this is also a part of life, isn't it? The genius invention of Alpha made my friends and me realize that whether it's holding BNB, or involving the whole family, including my 80-year-old grandfather, in Alpha tasks, or endlessly chasing trends on the BSC chain, all these emergent sectors can change my life. What I need to do is follow Binance and be loyal to it until old age, unwavering until death.
Perhaps some may say at this point, are you getting off-topic? Where's the Binance life you promised?
In fact, from the first night I deposited into Binance, to working with the entire Grayscale community on that BSC chain, which still resembled ruins, engaging in what might seem ridiculous constructions to outsiders, to slowly making the Binance wallet my main wallet, turning alpha into my instinct. I even instinctively wake up at five in the morning after a night of drinking to brush up today's scores before going back to sleep. And when it was my turn at 23m in the Binance life, I seriously told my group friends in a tone almost like a ritual: the Binance life is a good mark, I’m going to take a big risk. All the boring, bland, painful, joyful everything is my blockchain experience, my Binance life.
Finally, I would like to thank Binance, thank Big Brother, thank Sister One, thank the organizers. In this cruel world, all opportunities are hard-earned. Being able to come here with hope is indeed a very good thing, perhaps even the best thing. I am immensely grateful. This dream-chasing journey has not yet reached its end; my Binance life has just begun. Whether the end of the road is sunny or stormy, whether it's a flower field or the sea, let's keep walking and see.
