【Can trading cryptocurrencies change your destiny?】
I have a friend, born in the 2000s, whose family runs a small business. He also runs a small company with a net profit of about a million a year. Life was going quite smoothly.
Until—he encountered the crypto world.
Stage One: The Fantasy of Getting Rich
In 2023, he came across a video: "Buy coins and get rich, earn a million a month."
Moved by it, he invested a few thousand in altcoins, using 3x leverage, and turned it into 60,000 in a week.
He thought he had found the secret to getting rich,
then he started to get liquidated.
🔻
5,000 U shorting altcoins, 50x leverage, exploded in 3 seconds.
He invested another 5,000, continued shorting, and exploded again in half an hour.
In four months, he lost 200,000 U.
The company's business came to a halt, clients were lost, yet he said:
"I just need this one wave."
Stage Two: Deeper Into the Trap
He gave up on altcoins and started trading BTC, ETH, SOL.
One day, he saw a saying: "Bitcoin is about to break 90,000 dollars,"
and decided—"I need to take advantage of this wave!"
In that wave with SOL, he lost 90,000 U.
Yes, U, not RMB.
Stage Three: The Harsh Reality
To cover the margin, he sold off
✅ Toyota Land Cruiser
✅ Xiaomi SU7 (just got it a few months ago)
Leaving only an old Nissan from over a decade ago at home.
He sat on the roadside in a pilled T-shirt, lighting a cigarette and said:
"I have nothing left now."
He was originally a normal person earning a million a year,
now he has become a clown staring at charts and dreaming of a comeback.
In conclusion:
Trading cryptocurrencies can indeed change your destiny,
but the premise is—Is your destiny strong enough?
You might become rich overnight,
but the greater probability is:
You short at the top and add to your position at the bottom;
You double down when you are losing and run away early when you are making money;
You think you are a genius,
you are actually just someone else's ATM.
📌 Stop believing in the "comeback myth"—
that’s just a piece of candy handed to you while someone else is harvesting you.
You are not unsuitable for trading cryptocurrencies,
you are simply unworthy of dealing with leverage.
