In 2015, I first saw the term 'Bitcoin' on a geek forum.
No white paper, no KOLs promoting it, and no community calling for it. Back then, Bitcoin was over 200 dollars each, only a few used it to 'combat inflation' or for 'cross-border payments'.
I don't understand the technology very well, but I was moved by one sentence:
"This is a currency that can be settled globally without any trust support."
I used the salary from my first job to buy 0.5 BTC. That was the beginning of my 10-year journey.
⏳2015-2020: Silently dollar-cost averaging, no one understood what I was doing.
I have no fantasy of getting rich overnight; I simply dollar-cost average 20-30% of my salary into BTC each month.
• When the bull market came, I was excited but didn't act;
• When the bear market came, my heart ached, but I continued to buy;
• People around me said I was crazy, that this thing would eventually go to zero, I just smiled.
I don’t have much technical background, nor do I have so-called 'crypto connections', but I always remember:
Investing is not about what others say, but about what you do.
By 2021, I had accumulated nearly 20 BTC, with a cost below five digits. In that bull market, I sold half for the first time, cashing out nearly 300,000 USDT.
At that moment, I realized for the first time: time can truly create value.
💡 The real turning point was when I started researching 'how assets can continue to compound'.
After cashing out BTC, I began to ponder one question:
"I can't just sit on this money; it must continue to create value."
So I started to explore more play styles on-chain. From DeFi to strategic airdrops, to contract arbitrage. Until I encountered a protocol that completely changed my perception—MYX Finance.
🚀MYX Finance: Let me turn 'static holding' into 'dynamic income' with a key tool.
I came across MYX in 2024, initially just wanting to try integrated trading of multi-chain assets, but unexpectedly opened the door to a new world step by step.
MYX is a protocol focused on chain abstract derivatives trading, solving the most painful problems I faced in DeFi over the past few years:
• Diversified multi-chain assets: ETH on the mainnet, USDT on BSC, to use them requires cross-chain + authorization.
• Strategies are difficult to execute: high slippage on contract platforms, slow transactions, unable to run high-frequency.
• High trading costs: Frequent signing + operations + gas fees narrow the arbitrage space.
But on MYX, I can:
• Using any chain asset for unified trading, truly achieving a 'one-stop derivatives account'.
• Fast opening and closing positions, low slippage execution, completely smooth for executing complex strategies.
• Every trade has a rebate incentive, and placing orders also earns reward points, trading equals making money.
I initially invested 10,000 USDT to test the waters, and quickly tasted the sweetness:
🧠Strategy example: My BTC/ETH long-short hedging arbitrage.
• Opening a long position on ETH on MYX.
• At the same time, placing a BTC short in the reverse range.
• Using USDT on the BNB chain as margin, overall not cross-chain, smooth and seamless.
With this combination, just this strategy allowed me to achieve a net profit of over 8,100 USDT in one month. More importantly—almost no exposure risk, belonging to high win rate low volatility arbitrage.
📊I achieved 'stage two' of wealth accumulation through MYX.
Many people think my biggest profit comes from BTC, but that's not the case.
My operations on MYX have allowed me to gain true on-chain cash flow. The specifics are as follows:
Profit Section Description Cumulative Profit
High-frequency arbitrage strategy Hedging, oscillation arbitrage 21,000 USDT
Trading points incentive Trading rebate + Trader level incentive 11,600 USDT
Content rewards + event airdrops Submissions accepted, multiple rewards 3,400 USDT
Medium to long-term contract swing trading BTC, ETH swing long 8,300 USDT
🧮Total: Over 44,000 USDT, just in the first half of 2024-2025.
Along with the part of assets I cashed out in early Bitcoin, my overall crypto market cumulative profit is approximately 800,000 USDT+.
⸻
🧭What I want to share is not about getting rich quickly, but about the path.
I am not a genius, nor an early investor.
What I've done is just the following three things:
1. Long-term holding of truly consensus assets: BTC taught me the power of time.
2. Continuously learn about new opportunities on-chain: MYX made me realize that tools can change the game.
3. Persist in risk control + compound interest, don't gamble, don't rush: slow is fast, steady is winning.
🪪Bitcoin gave me a starting point, MYX allowed me to continue moving forward.
Now I no longer 'stare at the screen feverishly', I spend more time on thinking and management—
• I continue to hold BTC as my 'faith bottom position'.
• MYX is my 'efficient engine' for generating cash flow every day.
• The rest is planning, caution, and continuous optimization of strategies.
Many people say the crypto market changes too fast, and it's hard to make money.
I said: What's fast is not the crypto market, but you standing still.
🎯To my future self in 2025, and to you who are reading this:
"If you made the right choice once, don't be in a hurry to leave;"
If you earned your first pot of gold, you must learn to continue to monetize;
The real winners are not those who make a fortune in a bull market, but those who can produce stable long-term output on-chain.
From 2015 to today, I've walked for a full 10 years to earn over 800,000 USDT.
Not fast, but very steady.
Not noisy, but can win.
