【On the night of the crash, she left; three years later, I reunited with her in a Mercedes: she said I had changed…🔥
In 2010, I rushed into the crypto world with dreams and borrowed money. Back then, the K-line was my heartbeat, the fluctuations were my breath; I thought I could give her the whole world.
Until that night.
BTC plummeted, leverage exploded, and my account was wiped out.
The light of my phone screen was still on when her message popped up on WeChat: "I’m tired; let’s leave it like this."
When she left, I didn’t even have money for a taxi to chase after her.
For the next three years, I crawled in the dark.
I delivered takeout, worked on construction sites, and stocked shelves overnight at convenience stores, but I checked the market every night.
No more leveraged betting, no more believing in ‘just hold on’, I learned about stop losses, positions, cycles, and—loneliness.
In 2023, I saved enough for my first pot of gold.
It wasn’t about getting rich quick, but slowly becoming wealthy.
I bought my first Mercedes, black with a prominent logo, just like the picture I saved on the forum ten years ago.
Yesterday, I ran into her in front of the convenience store.
She was stunned for a few seconds and smiled: "You’ve matured."
I smiled but didn’t say anything.
She asked: "Are you doing well now?"
I pointed to the Mercedes by the roadside: "Not bad, I can finally afford the passenger seat you wanted to sit in."
She lowered her head in silence.
I said: "It's all in the past."
I turned around to start the car; in the rearview mirror, she was still standing there.
This time, I didn’t look back.
What the crypto world taught me was not just trading, but life:
**True freedom is not the illusion of getting rich quickly, but the ability to rise again on your own after falling to the bottom.**
If I could start over—
I would still choose to rush into that digital torrent, but I would never bet anyone's future on a contract again.
I can afford the Mercedes myself, and so is life.
✨To everyone drifting in the crypto world:
If you fall, don’t lie flat; if you crash, don’t resign to fate.
Your value should never be determined by your account balance.
