While writing this tweet, I suddenly realized: I have been walking with TRON for a full eight years. Eight years, in the rapidly changing blockchain industry, is enough to witness the rise and fall of countless projects, and I am fortunate to be a part of this journey.
In these eight years, I have experienced doubt and ridicule, as well as the crazy highs and heartbreaking lows; there have been joys brought by wealth, and reflections after ups and downs. But if I had to choose again, I would still choose to walk alongside TRON without hesitation.
Today, I would like to use this tweet to share this special experience with everyone and talk about how TRON has quietly changed the trajectory of my life.
1⃣️The starting point and storms of the Tron
In 2017, during the first major wave of cryptocurrencies, almost every day there were new projects in ICO. The market was full of passion and fantasy, with many white papers written extravagantly, often proclaiming 'disrupting the future' or 'changing the world'.
It was at this time that Tron entered the public eye. Founder Justin Sun, with strong marketing skills, quickly made Tron famous. But shortly after, the mainland implemented a withdrawal policy, and all projects came to a standstill, leading many to believe Tron would disappear.
But the reality is quite the opposite. Tron did not fall in the storm; instead, it steadily took steps, growing from a highly doubted project to a backbone of the current stablecoin settlement network. This eight-year journey is also a reflection of my personal understanding and growth.
2⃣️From a novice to 'meeting again'
To be honest, when Tron first launched in 2017, I knew almost nothing about blockchain. I had only heard of Bitcoin and Ethereum but had no idea what they were. Coupled with my impression of cryptocurrencies being 'scams' and 'harvesting leeks', I didn't dare to delve deeper.
Until 2020, the famous 'Justin Sun dining with Buffett' event pulled me back into the crypto world. At that moment, I suddenly realized that Tron had not disappeared; instead, it had remained active at the forefront of the industry.
That year, the gears of my life began to turn. Because of this matter, I started to understand Tron again, and thus truly stepped into the crypto world. Who would have thought that this decision would change the trajectory of my life.
3⃣️The ups and downs of the crypto years
In 2020, I bought my first TRX to participate in a community project of Tron, officially starting my crypto journey.
At that time, crypto was crazy; any new project launch could attract large participation. I was no exception, often investing with great anticipation. On lucky days, I could earn what an average person makes in a month or even a year, and the feeling of my account balance skyrocketing really raised my adrenaline.
But reality is equally cruel. Projects collapse, prices plummet, liquidity evaporates... I've experienced all these nightmares. Going to bed as a 'millionaire' and waking up 'back to square one'. That sense of disparity not only brings economic losses but also mentally torments me.
In those years, both my mental and economic pressures were high. But I never gave up. I believe that as long as I work hard enough, I can find my opportunity in this emerging world. So, I kept learning, researching, and summarizing experiences.
Finally, in 2023, I waited for my own turning point. With a calm mindset and deep understanding of the market, I earned my first seven-figure income, and in the same year, I achieved seven-figure returns three times in a row.
I slowly understand that in the crypto world, being calm and steady is a rare treasure. I no longer chase high-risk short-term opportunities but steadily invest in TRX, embarking on a long-term and stable path.
4⃣️Several reasons to choose Tron
1. The execution power of founder Justin Sun
He is known as the 'web3 model worker', continuously promoting the development of the crypto industry. From acquiring BitTorrent to promoting the stablecoin ecosystem and various cross-industry marketing efforts, Justin Sun has brought Tron to the center of the industry time and again. Choosing a project is actually choosing a founder, and Justin Sun's execution and marketing power undoubtedly gave me confidence.
2. Real data support
In 2019, Tether chose to issue USDT on the Tron network. Since then, the circulation and activity of stablecoins on Tron have skyrocketed, and it now plays a key role in the global stablecoin settlement network. Unlike many public chains that 'only shout slogans', Tron lets data speak for itself and has never experienced downtime in eight years, which is enough to demonstrate technical robustness.
3. Reverse thinking
In the early days, Tron was controversial, and many even mocked it. But this reminds me of a saying from Jack Ma: 'For most things people are optimistic about, it's already too late if you follow.' Since everyone else was not optimistic about Tron, I chose it. Facts proved that choosing a path contrary to the majority led me to the right road.
5⃣️Dual harvest of wealth and mindset
Tron not only helped me achieve breakthroughs in wealth but, more importantly, it changed my life state and mindset.
·Freedom in wealth: it gives me the confidence to say 'no' to jobs I don't like and the courage to choose the lifestyle I truly love.
·Growth in mindset: eight years of experience have taught me to remain calm in chaos, to stay true to my original intentions amid doubts, and to think independently in the face of temptation.
·Network and consensus: Because of Tron, I met many like-minded friends. We discuss the market together, share insights, and uphold our consensus, making it warmer because of these partners.
【Eight years is just the beginning】
Many people say that eight years is enough to change a person. But for me, Tron is not just a project; it feels more like an important 'partner' in my life, accompanying me through storms, teaching me growth and persistence.
The road ahead is still long, and I will continue to accompany Tron and witness its journey.
