Two years of trading cryptocurrency from 2000 to 2 million until now
At 24, I made 2 million from trading cryptocurrency, and almost lost my life in the process. Thinking back on it now still gives me chills, it felt like a dream.
How did I get into this? One time, while drinking, a friend boasted at the table that he bought Bitcoin. I laughed at him: "You’re still into virtual currency?" Three months later, he bought a BMW, and I couldn't sit still.
I initially invested 2000 yuan just to test the waters, really just for fun. I didn't expect to hit that mini bull market and made 4000 in three days. My hands were shaking at the time, I didn't even notice ash falling on the keyboard. Later, I got obsessed, slacking off at work to check the market during the day and staying up all night watching the charts. At my craziest, I set 8 alarms to wake up every two hours to check prices.
When I leveraged to 100 times, I felt like the chosen one. My account peaked at 2.37 million, even when our department director scolded me, I was secretly calculating if that time was enough for my financial freedom.
I remember the day the market crashed very clearly. In the morning, I was still making 300,000, but by lunchtime it started to plummet. By 4 PM, I was receiving one liquidation message after another. I squatted in the company bathroom stall, watching my account balance drop from seven digits to four, biting my lips until they bled.
The worst part wasn’t losing money, it was the two months that followed. Collection calls flooded the company, my credit cards were maxed out, and I was in debt to online lenders. One night after my shift, I stood on the overpass watching the traffic, seriously considering jumping off. In the end, it was my mom who sensed something was wrong and withdrew her retirement savings to help me fill the hole.
Looking back now, it’s truly terrifying. Those who say 'Fortune favors the bold' probably haven't experienced a liquidation. I currently only keep 20,000 yuan on the exchange and absolutely refuse to leverage.
