One must acknowledge that one's vision, pattern, and judgment are insufficient. On September 28, 2017, when I was preparing to buy BTC, the price of BTC was 7000 USD.

After watching for a few months, after much thought, I ultimately did not buy it; it wasn't until the end of 2021 that I started dollar-cost averaging and bought a little, and then in 2023, I sold a few BTC to buy a bunch of oil refining NFTs.

By 2017, I had already sensed that my game concept art outsourcing business, although very competitive at the time, with an annual revenue of over 30 million, was not sustainable and needed to explore new directions.

In the following year, on August 3, 2018, I invested heavily to open a gaming jewelry peripheral company, beginning a 4-year struggle in the turmoil of the pandemic, until 2022 when I finally ceased operations.

One must accept fate and acknowledge one's shortcomings; thus, even with benefactors around, one cannot seize opportunities. The friend from the gaming industry who advised me to buy Bitcoin on Quoine in 2017 is now a big shot on CNN with the President of El Salvador, while I am still worrying about renewing my Singapore PR.

I won't @ old friends... it's ugly.
