Seven years ago, on that muggy summer night, when I wrote my first investment note on the forum, I never imagined it would mark the beginning of growing together with three thousand people.

Initially, it was simply a blog to record my trading insights, gradually gathering a group of like-minded explorers. We named them "Rational Holders"; there were no myths of getting rich overnight, only a weekly sharing session of valuable insights. I remember my hands shaking so much during the first voice broadcast that I couldn't hold the microphone steady, yet I heard encouragement in my headphones: "Take your time, we are all learning."

During the Dogecoin frenzy in 2021, no one spoke for three whole days. Until late Friday night, someone suddenly asked, "Should we chase it?" I compiled a five-page risk analysis report, ending with the line: "Investing is like surfing; missing one wave won't kill you, but being toppled by a giant wave may mean you can't get back up." After that day, an additional rule was established — all decisions must include a risk assessment.

What I am most proud of is not how much money we made together, but the pitfalls we collectively avoided. A week before the LUNA crash, we discovered unusually large transfers through on-chain data and began to gradually reduce our positions three days in advance. In the end, they retained an average of 75% of their principal; a college student sent a thank-you note: "This money is the tuition I saved over three years, thank you for safeguarding my dream."

Over the past three years, we have formed a unique culture of mutual assistance. Programmer fans developed anti-fraud plugins, members with financial backgrounds created risk assessment templates, and even a psychology Ph.D. regularly came to explain market sentiment management. Every time there was a bull market celebration, someone would remind: "Remember to withdraw your principal"; during every bear market winter, someone would always encourage: "Keep investing steadily."

Last year, when Bitcoin broke its previous high, I received the most precious gift — the "Cryptocurrency Survival Manual" published through our crowdfunding. The front page was filled with three thousand signatures and a message: "Thank you for helping us understand that investing ultimately cultivates human nature."

Now they have long achieved self-sufficiency, with members dispersed across various fields continuing to grow. Occasionally, late at night, I look back at the chat records, and those changes from blindly chasing prices to rational analysis are more touching than any market chart.

I used to stumble alone in the dark, but now the light is in my hands.

The light is always on; will you follow? @币来财888
