Prepared a red envelope of $BTC for my brothers
I grew up in a poor family, dropped out of school at 16 and started working in a hardware factory in Foshan. At 18, I made a living by delivering food. Later, I switched to delivering packages. I remember one time during a heavy rain, I fell into an unfilled pothole along with my bike and lost half a month's salary in compensation.
Later, I trusted a 'friend' and invested all my savings into a cryptocurrency project. Three months later, the platform went bankrupt, and I lost everything. Debt collector calls flooded my phone, and my landlord kicked me out. I had no choice but to drag my suitcase and curl up in a corner of a 24-hour McDonald's, nibbling on cold steamed buns. At my lowest point, I ate instant noodles for every meal; I’m not exaggerating when I say I had to think twice about adding a sausage.
Fortunately, during this low point in my life, I met a big shot who introduced me to the cryptocurrency field, taught me how to study, how to analyze the market, how to conduct myself, and taught me many, many things. My life began to take a turn for the better.
However, the trading journey was not as simple as I thought. At first, I turned 200u into 3000u in just one week, then increased from 3000 to 8000 in another week. I excitedly ran to boast to the big shot, who said, 'Wow, genius trader!' My friends also praised me one by one. Amid these praises, I lost myself and became arrogant, taking heavy positions in everything I played.
Finally, I faced my first liquidation. I was a bit puzzled and couldn't understand why it happened. I didn't believe it and continued to push forward. This time I was more cautious, but I still faced liquidation. I began to doubt if I was suited for trading. At that time, the big shot told me to learn to take profits and set stop-losses to go further. The crypto world is not a casino. Awareness is wealth. Only through experiencing wild fluctuations can one understand that as long as one retains the green mountains, one need not worry about firewood.
I kept his words in mind. Although the path of cryptocurrency has its ups and downs, I maintain my enthusiasm for learning, not getting arrogant when I earn and not resenting when I lose. My original intention was simply to improve my life first.
Now, my quality of life and mindset have significantly improved, and I've met a group of like-minded friends. I am grateful for everything I have now.
