Life is a gamble.
Not gambling is actually gambling on yourself to lose.
I have a very trusted friend. He entered the circle in 2012, only likes trading coins, and every transaction is all in. This brother is a legend.
In 2022, he was the first in the Chinese community to buy BONK (at that time worth 30,000, later rose to 16 million).
1⃣ Last September, he was once again at a dead end, unable to pay his credit card during tough times. I transferred him 100 yuan (RMB) a few times to buy cigarettes. He said not to transfer too much, because if I give too much, he will use it to continue gambling. It's really tragic, so tragic.
2⃣ Last October, HBO made a documentary revealing Satoshi Nakamoto. He bet on SASHA Cat, invested 500U, and made 100 times profit. From that day on, he embarked on another path to recovery, and all the way went full margin on SUI's AAA and SOL's kiki, earning 1.4 million dollars.
I advised him to cash out, but he said no, he must continue to go all in. He said if he makes 3 million dollars, he will stop and can live happily in a small city.
As a result, you might guess, in less than 2 months, 1.4 million dollars were all lost again, and even the 70,000 U airdrop from Magiceden was all lost in it.
🔸 This brother makes quick money during every small bull market. Every time it's a turnaround at 200U, he earns a lot, but as soon as the market starts to trend downward, without exception, he loses it all back. Everything feels like a dream.
3⃣ In April this year, he invested in Ghibli, with a market value of 80,000. The next day, he woke up to 16 million, making 200 times profit, and finally paid off his loans, cleared his credit card, and left some small money in the market to continue gambling.
🍀 I have played with him in the first SOL image coin conversion peanuts, my avatar Froganas (he bought 400 for under 10U), GUAC, etc. He really is the most capable person, almost always entering at the lowest market value.
My brother has always been dreaming of getting rich through trading coins. Every time he sees the dream, he wants to step into reality, but it will be ruthlessly shattered. This dream has lasted for 13 years.
🎄 Thank you to all my friends for reading my lengthy words. I am very emotional. This brother's talent in finding alpha is innate; it cannot be learned. As long as there is a chance to turn around, he makes money super fast, but he always loses it all back, without exception.
✅ I thought about it again and again, this might just be a character flaw. Coming from an ordinary family, I never managed money since childhood, I can't control funds, and every time I think about making a big score to change my fate, that's why I keep failing, every time it's a failure.
It's easy to change mountains and rivers, but hard to change one’s nature. If we don't change the character flaws formed since our upbringing, the journey of our lives will likely remain trapped in this strange cycle.
🎢 Earning money → losing it all → earning money → losing it all again.
✅ Today I discussed with my wife that in the future, if I make money, I will transfer 30% to the family hardware wallet every month for family living expenses, 50% will be stored in stablecoins to buy the dip during Bitcoin bear markets, and 20% will continue to be invested in airdrops.
Husbands and wives are life partners. The family needs to take a steady path and control their character flaws to win a better life.
Thank you to my wise brother Xian Er and Meta Ape for helping me sort out my character weaknesses during this time. We are all ordinary people.
For the family, move steadily and far.
Brothers, let's work hard together.
