Recently, the entire crypto market has crashed, and many people ask: Can we enter the market now? Let me share my true situation:
I took a sip of tea, looked out the window, and surprisingly felt a bit… excited. Yes, excited. I am very familiar with this scene. Let me tell you how I, as an 'old investor', went from a clueless novice to someone who can laugh through the storms even during a crash. The story is a bit long, but it’s all heartfelt.
Chapter 1: That 15 million and the missed 85 times.
Let’s rewind to the second half of last year. The market was lifeless, and few people were optimistic. With a bit of experience and intuition, I felt that opportunities were coming soon. I scraped together some capital (I won’t say how much, but it was spare money I could afford to lose) and gritted my teeth to jump in. Buying Bitcoin? Sure. Buying Ethereum? Yes. But what really turned my fortune around were a few well-chosen altcoins.
The process? Torturous! A little rise, and then back down; another little rise, and then deeper down. I stayed up late staring at the K-line chart until three or four in the morning several times. Many times I thought about cutting my losses, but there was a voice in my head saying: The bull market will come; it’s just a matter of time. I held on. Finally, the wind came. The coins in my hand shot up like a rocket. That feeling was truly like a dream.
When the year-end accounts were tallied, wow! Made 15 million! The principal multiplied by 50 times! Happy? Of course! But honestly, there’s a bit of regret too. Why? Because I got a bit itchy in the middle and pulled out a few million twice to buy big houses in my hometown and the provincial capital. At that time, I thought it was safe to cash out. But then, watching those untouched coins continue to soar… I regretted it terribly! If that money had stayed in crypto, it wouldn’t just be 15 million; it would be over 25 million! An 85 times return! Looking back, I was too eager, always thinking about 'improving my life', and ended up missing out on a bigger gold mine. Lesson one: In a bull market, don’t easily cook the golden egg-laying hen!
Chapter 2: A net worth of 150 million and a monthly 'allowance' of 100,000.
Now my total net worth is about 150 million. You might not believe it, but 130 million of that has been earned through my experiences in the crypto space over the past few years. Trading crypto has truly changed the trajectory of my life.
What’s life like with more money? To be honest, there aren’t any earth-shattering changes. I don’t like to flaunt wealth, nor do I mix in high-end circles. The biggest feelings are stability and freedom. In the past, working meant watching my boss's face and competing with colleagues, which was tiresome. Now? Not at all! I set a rule for myself: I only withdraw 100,000 each month from my crypto account to spend. This 100,000 covers all my family's needs—food, travel, and children’s education—with plenty to spare, leading to a high quality of life. I don’t have to worry about money, don’t have to watch anyone's face; I can do whatever I want. This kind of leisure and ease is priceless. This is my pursuit of 'the original life'.
Chapter 3: Zhao Changpeng, the lucky fool, and 'palaces on a sand dune'.
Speaking of getting rich in the crypto space, many people mention Zhao Changpeng (CZ). The boss of Binance went from founding the company to becoming the richest Chinese person in just four short years! In traditional industries, like the internet or real estate, it often takes two or three decades of accumulation to get anywhere. The crypto space is truly miraculous, allowing people to soar like rockets.
But do you say success relies entirely on ability? Sometimes I ponder about it. Luck certainly plays a significant role. If you catch the wave, even a pig can fly. Many so-called 'successful people' may just be lucky fools. They come up with various 'winning methodologies', speak convincingly, and even convince themselves. Then look at those exalted 'value investment' philosophies; they sound lofty and are analyzed thoroughly, crafting the 'palaces' of investment exquisitely. But have you considered whether these palaces are built on quicksand? Is the foundation stable? A wind (like policies or black swans) could come and bring it all down. So, don’t blindly believe in flashy theories; sometimes in the crypto world, intuition, patience, and a bit of luck are more important than anything.
Chapter 4: Crash? Early bull? My choice is: Buy!
Back to the initial question: Now that there’s been a crash, can we buy?
My answer is very clear: Yes, buy! And seize the opportunity to buy!
Why am I so certain? Because I firmly believe that now is the early stage of a bull market! It’s just starting! Look at those real bull markets; are they ever smooth sailing? It's always take three steps forward, two steps back, or even one and a half steps back. Such crashes and corrections are completely normal! This is the market washing out the weak and over-leveraged.
What’s the biggest fear in a bull market? It’s not being trapped! It’s missing out! Are you afraid of buying at a high price, wanting to wait for the lowest point? I tell you, no one can precisely hit the lowest point! By the time you think it’s 'safe', the price has already soared, and you can only watch helplessly as you chase the high, with higher costs and greater risks! So, when you see a crash, especially with good coins or coins you like, don’t hesitate; you should act! Even if you buy in and temporarily get trapped (this is called 'being locked in'), it’s still a hundred times better than not getting in at all!
Want to make big money? 10 times? Several times? Then you need to be mentally prepared: endure! Endure through the terrifying ups and downs, the back-and-forth adjustments. The market is moving slowly now, like 'small steps', taking its time. Don’t rush! The real explosive rise hasn’t come yet! You need to have the determination and patience to wait for that moment.
Chapter 5: The transformation from 'astronomical figures' to the mindset of 'buying toys'.
I remember when I first started working, buying a house of about 100 square meters in my hometown was an astronomical figure for me, saving every penny for several years. Now? The mindset around buying houses has completely changed. When I see a suitable property, I can just buy it without any emotional turmoil, like… like going to a mall to buy a few expensive toys for my child. It’s not flaunting wealth; I genuinely feel that money is just a tool. In this era, the speed and method of wealth accumulation really defy imagination. The new generation pushes the old generation forward; opportunities always favor those who are prepared and dare to act.
A few final truths:
Missed out on Tencent? No worries!
Missed out on Ethereum at $1? That's okay! (To be honest, I didn't catch it all either.)
The crypto space is still in its early days! After the crash, new opportunities are being nurtured.
What’s key? Be sure of it, don’t be scared by the crash, buy when you should!
Remember the core: only use spare money! Stay patient! Don’t be greedy!
A crash is not the end of the world; for some, it is a gift. That's how I've made it through. Are you brave enough to catch this 'gift'?
