Back then, when trading contracts on Binance, the liquidation orders gave me a sense of 'rhythm'. The fees hurt my wallet, not to mention the anxiety of watching the market at midnight: what if the platform just wouldn't open tomorrow? Every time I got liquidated, it felt like I had gone through a nightmare, and the pain upon waking was still vividly clear.
Until in March, I saw the airdrop event of MYX on the blockchain—an entire 10 million $MYX! To be honest, I initially thought it was just another empty promise, could such good luck really exist? With the mindset of 'grab some and run', I connected to my BNB chain wallet, and after clicking the transaction button, I was stunned: 'How did my assets on the BNB chain directly open an order on Arbitrum? There wasn't even a pop-up for a signature?' Indeed, that was the first time I truly felt what 'chain abstraction' meant; in the blink of an eye, my assets were safely resting in my own wallet. That feeling was like suddenly opening a window on a stuffy afternoon, with refreshing air rushing in.
At the beginning of May's IDO, I was with friends grabbing the MYX IDO quota, and the scene... 30,000% oversubscription! We raced against the clock, and luckily I got a quota. Watching it surge after going live on Binance Alpha, the sense of security in my heart was immense; I finally felt like I was on board a truly reliable early opportunity! That astonishing number ignited everyone, and I even felt that every second I typed on the keyboard was accelerating wildly.
Soon, the VIP policy was announced. Buying 10 $MYX could make you a VIP? Directly getting a fee discount comparable to Binance's large accounts? This threshold was unbelievably low! No need to lock up assets, nothing required, just hold to enjoy. I decisively bought some; now trading feels like eating at a buffet—enjoying freely without spending money is so enjoyable! The fees saved all turned into profits, making trading feel more secure.
Looking back on this journey, from a cautious 'shrewd' mindset of testing the waters to daringly placing heavy bets, it wasn't just about betting on its rise. After trading on MYX for a while, I genuinely understood what it felt like to have 'asset ownership in your own hands'. I no longer needed to be nervous every time I authorized a signature, nor did I lose sleep over the safety of my assets. It was like gripping the steering wheel for the first time on the road; the confidence from having control was far more precious than earning a few more points in floating profits.
