Speaking of my story with Binance, we have to go back to 2021.
At that time, I had just entered the circle, and a big shot brought me in. The first app I downloaded was Binance. I still remember asking him why he chose this platform. He simply said, 'Exchanges running away is the norm, but if one day Binance collapses, then don’t play anymore.' It sounded like a joke, but looking back now, a certain exchange really did collapse, which validated his judgment at that time.
I truly began to engage with the crypto circle from a PPT and a community called 'Novice Village.' The big shots in the group found two other friends to help us understand the entire crypto world, pointing out where the pitfalls are and what is worth pursuing. At that time, we happened to catch the on-chain new project activity of Pancake, and everyone researched documents together, figuring out how to participate in DeFi. We joked that Cake is Binance's favorite child—you see, the BSC ecosystem and platform resources are all taken care of.
Later, I participated in the new project on the Avalanche chain, staking ROCO for opportunities. At that time, it was very competitive, and the returns were getting worse. My 4000 USDT eventually turned into 400 USDT. I didn't understand stop-loss at that stage and only held on. This also made me truly feel for the first time: the crypto circle can not only make you rich but also let you lose everything.
Later, we also participated in activities on the Luna chain together. Fortunately, a month before Luna's collapse, our entire team withdrew in time, avoiding that big explosion. Looking back now, I still feel a bit scared.
In March 2022, StepN took off. We started with the running shoe project, going from 400 USDT to 20,000 USDT. Luck indeed played a part, but behind it, Binance was still indispensable—GST and GMT were both bought on Binance, and GMT was one of the projects on Binance Launchpad, skyrocketing from 0.01 USDT to 4.17 USDT, a miracle of 400 times; Binance witnessed the entire process.
From the second half of 2022 to the first half of 2023, the bear market came, and BTC dropped to 15,000 USDT. All operations during that time, including bottom-fishing, replenishing positions, and stop-losses, were completed on Binance. Although the market was sluggish, my trust in Binance did not diminish.
In the second half of 2023, the BTC ETF was approved, inscriptions rose, and ETH ETF received successive good news, leading the market to frenzy again. During this time, I began to delve into on-chain smart money research and even shared in the official live broadcast room of Binance Square. I was fortunate to meet a big shot in the crypto circle, Brother Shu, and benefited greatly. He taught me how to use tools to track addresses and scan chain strategies, which also helped me make some money.
However, the smart money strategy ultimately couldn't last long. With the rise of meme trends and the prevalence of shitcoins, on-chain arbitrage gradually lost its original advantages, and various scanning chain models slowly became ineffective.
The turning point came in April 2024. I received a private message from Brother Ying on Twitter, but at that time I didn't pay much attention until July when I finally opened the contact. At the end of July, I officially joined Binance Square and became a creator. That was a brand new starting point, starting from 0 followers and reaching 1k followers in a month. That period was truly passionate and fulfilling.
I also got to know @加密贝姐 , @Leo乘风 , @Nuts坚果 , @老白加密笔记 , @无邪Infinity because of this. The six of us often go live together in the square, sharing opinions and discussing market rhythms. At that time, I was still a newcomer just starting out, and they already had thousands of followers. I have always been grateful to be accepted and supported in such an environment.
As smart money exited, I began to rethink my direction. So, I decided to calm down and seriously study trading itself. I am especially grateful to @Nuts坚果 —he opened his membership channel for free, allowing me to access a lot of high-quality content that was originally only available to paying users, laying a solid foundation for my formal entry into technical analysis.
As I delved deeper into content creation, I gradually met more like-minded friends: @夏木KRIS , @Mike香蕉 , @马克如Mcrowe , @小天0xOne , @加密渝 ... This group of us often gathers together, sharing experiences, supporting each other, and encouraging one another. Whether in the rhythm of content creation or in the choice of growth direction, everyone is silently helping each other move forward. We never thought about 'one person getting big,' but rather how to help every hardworking person around us go further and steadier.
All these experiences are inseparable from the stage and opportunities provided by Binance Square.
Since then, I have firmly embarked on the path of a trader, gradually building my own trading system. Now, I focus on in-depth research of the Chande theory, combined with Dow theory, wave theory, and other methods, trying to establish a complete analytical logic suitable for myself.
And the starting point of all this is almost inseparable from Binance.
🎉On the occasion of Binance's eighth anniversary, I want to say:
Thank you for being the first door I stepped into the crypto world, and for accompanying me through the ups and downs of bull and bear markets. From a newbie in the novice village to a creator in the Binance square, Binance has witnessed my growth, and I am willing to continue walking with you every eight years in the future.
This world changes too quickly, and there are not many friends who can accompany you through cycles and continuously evolve. Binance is one of them.
Happy Birthday, Binance! See you in the next bull market! 🚀 @币安Binance华语 @币安中文社区 @币安广场 @Yi He @CZ
