I was born in 1990, I'm 35 this year, and I've been in the trading market for 10 years, truly an experienced investor. My net worth is A8 now, all thanks to the crypto world—don't be jealous, I lost money in the beginning too, but eventually earned it back. Today, let me share some real talk for friends who want to try their luck in the crypto space.
Let me say something straightforward: to live, you have to dare to make money, as long as it's legal.
When young, don't always think about 'stability'; as long as you don't engage in illegal activities, you have to work hard to make money. I've seen too many people trapped in 'fear of risk', watching opportunities slip away. The crypto world is a place where daring to fight can seize opportunities, but the prerequisite is that you need to understand the rules, not just rush in blindly.
Trading without a good mindset? No amount of skills will help.
Many people lose not because they don't understand candlesticks, but because their mindset collapses. They know this isn't a buying point, but they can't resist jumping in; when it falls, they hesitate to cut losses and stubbornly wait for a rebound—if this habit doesn't change, no amount of theory learned will help.
I made this mistake in my early years too, following others to buy, and ended up getting stuck. It wasn't until later that I realized: mindset is 100 times more important than skills. If you can control yourself and know when to wait and when to act, you've already beaten half the people.
An example from my friend in Shenzhen: from living off credit cards to A8, all thanks to a bull market.
I have a friend in Shenzhen who was in debt before 2021, living tightly, relying on credit cards. Later, he gritted his teeth and entered the crypto space, didn't gamble wildly, but followed the market slowly, and once the bull market started, his net worth also reached A8.
It's not that he's so amazing, it's that the crypto world indeed offers these opportunities—like coins such as SHIB, which nobody valued before, suddenly exploded in the bull market, making a lot of people rich in a short time. This industry is tough: it leaves ordinary people the chance to 'turn the tables'—it's rare to find this elsewhere.
Why do people say the crypto world can make you rich quickly? It's much more reliable than the lottery.
Some people say, 'Isn't this gambling?' Compared to the lottery, it's really different. If you spend 2 dollars to buy a lottery ticket, winning 5 dollars is considered lucky; but if you spend 2 dollars on a small coin, and it rises to 20,000 in a bull market, that's not uncommon—I’ve seen someone buy a coin on Binance for 3 dollars, and later it multiplied over ten thousand times.
On big platforms like Binance and some others, many coins are just a few dollars, which ordinary people can stock up on. It's not uncommon for people to become millionaires, multi-millionaires, or even billionaires through these platforms. Zhao Changpeng became the richest Chinese person thanks to Binance—this is the most straightforward example. The energy in this circle deserves respect; don't start off by blindly criticizing.
Let me say something heartfelt: don't wander aimlessly in the dark, find a light.
Many people aren't lazy; they are just misguided—bumping around the market every day, panicking when it rises, and fearing when it falls, forever stuck in a cycle of 'earning and losing'. In fact, the market is always there, but the rhythm waits for no one.
You don't need to run too fast; the key is knowing where to run. It's like walking in the dark, if you bump around alone, you're likely to fall. But if someone holds a light to guide you, the path becomes much easier. If there were such a light now, would you be willing to charge forward?
Blindly going solo will never bring opportunities; pay attention to @加密超哥 . Don't get lost in this bull market!
