Life is a gamble

Not gambling is actually betting on oneself to lose

I have a very trusted friend who entered the scene in 2012, only likes to trade cryptocurrencies, and every trade is a full investment; this brother is a legend

In 2022, he was the first in the Chinese community to buy BONK (at that time with a market value of 30,000, which later rose to 16 million)

1⃣ Last September, he found himself in a desperate situation, unable to pay off his credit card; I transferred him a few times 100 yuan (RMB) to buy cigarettes. He said not to transfer too much, because if I gave him more, he would use it to gamble again, it was really tragic, so tragic

2⃣ Last October, HBO filmed a documentary revealing Satoshi Nakamoto, he bet on SASHA cat, bought in for 500U, made 100 times profit, and from that day began another road to recovery; then he fully invested in SUI's AAA, SOL's kiki, and earned 1.4 million dollars

I advised him to cash out, he said no, he must continue to gamble big; he said once he made 3 million dollars, he would stop and could live happily in a small city

As you can guess, within less than 2 months, he lost all 1.4 million dollars again, and even lost the 70,000U airdrop from Magiceden

🔸 This brother makes money rapidly every time there's a small bull market, each time flipping 200U, earning a lot, but as soon as the market begins to decline, without exception, he loses it all back; everything feels like a dream

3⃣ In April this year, he once again invested in Ghibli with a market value of 80,000, and the next day woke up to 16 million, making 200 times profit; he finally paid off his loans, settled his credit card, and kept some small money in the market to continue gambling

🍀 I played with him on the first SOL graphic coin conversion peanuts, my avatar Froganas (he bought 400 below 10U), GUAC, etc.; he really is the most capable person, almost always entering at the lowest market values

This brother has always been dreaming of getting rich through cryptocurrency trading; every time he sees the dream come true, he walks into reality and it is ruthlessly shattered; this dream has lasted for 13 years

🎄 Thank you to all my friends for reading my lengthy words. I am quite emotional; this brother finding alpha is a talent, and it can’t be learned; as long as there’s a chance to turn things around, he makes money super fast, but every time he ends up losing it all, without exception

✅ I thought about it, this might be a character flaw, like me, coming from an ordinary family, never managing money since childhood, unable to handle funds; every time thinking about making a big score to change fate, that’s why he keeps failing, always failing

It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to alter one's character; if we do not change the character flaws formed since birth, our journey in this life will likely stay trapped in this strange cycle

🎢 Making money → Losing it all → Making money → Losing it all again

✅ Today I discussed with my wife, in the future if I make money, I will transfer every month to the family hardware wallet, withdrawing 30% monthly as family living expenses, 50% to store stablecoins to buy the dips during Bitcoin bear markets, and 20% to continue investing in airdrops

Couples are life partners; families need to walk a steady path, controlling our character flaws to win a better life

Thanks to the wise Brother Xian Er and Brother Meta Yuan for helping me sort out my character weaknesses during this time; we are all ordinary people

For the family, let’s proceed steadily and far

Brothers, let’s work hard together
