While organizing old items, I found an old phone.
After turning it on, a screenshot of a transfer from 2017 came into view: 9000U, that was all my savings when I first entered the crypto world, the hope I accumulated over 9 months of frugality.
At that time, I couldn't even distinguish between the red and green arrows on the K-line; I had to Baidu 'stop loss' to understand it.
The first time I bought altcoins, the price dropped by 15% that same day. I held my phone and stayed up all night, fearing that I'd wake up to find my account at zero, my heart feeling tight.
At three in the morning, the group was filled with cries of bottom fishing! It will double!
My fingertip hovered over the increase position button, my pale knuckles and rapidly beating heart urging me to place a bet.
But looking at that hard-earned savings, I ultimately let go.
That night I didn't make money, but I preserved the confidence to survive in the crypto world.
Later, I witnessed the wild ups and downs of the crypto market: some people became ten times richer overnight by luck, only to lose everything in the blink of an eye.
Some gambled everything and ultimately disappeared into the crowd.
I finally understood that what the crypto world tests is not courage, but the ability to stay calm and endure over time.
Now, the millions in my account are not due to luck, but eight years of hard work: spreading positions and never going all in, even the craziest coins only get 30% of my investment.
Every trade must have a stop-loss line, and once it hits, I never hesitate.
Daily reviews, correcting mistakes.
The more chaotic the market, the more I need to stay calm for half an hour before making decisions.
I am grateful to that night in 2017 for not pressing the 'confirm button.' Are you still chasing the illusion of wealth, or do you want to be the one laughing in the end?
The carp leaping over the dragon gate is never based on luck; just like how I encountered @K线判官 to learn the ropes, you and opportunity may just be one proactive step away.
