$ZEC I am an ordinary worker born in 1995. After graduating from university in 2018, I moved to Shenzhen to work in e-commerce. I take home eight thousand each month, and after deducting rent and living expenses, saving two thousand is considered frugal. Housing prices rise year after year, yet I remain stagnant, staring blankly at my salary card during that period, feeling a suffocating sense of “Is life going to be set in stone?”.

$COMMON What truly changed my fate was the cryptocurrency circle in 2020.

At that time, the market had just begun to recover from a trough. I gritted my teeth and invested almost all my savings heavily in ETH, with a small portion in BTC and a few altcoins I had researched. During this time, I didn't avoid the sharp declines—one of the worst was on May 19; that day my salary didn’t increase, but my account took a hit first.

I didn’t cut my losses; instead, I continued to add to my position. The reason was simple: I knew this was the only chance to “pick up money” in the entire cycle.

In 2021, the bull market surged swiftly.

When Bitcoin reached 69,000, the whole internet was shouting “100,000 is coming.” Friends were gambling wildly, some even quit their jobs to go all in. I’m not a god, nor a master of predictions; I just went by my gut: the market had become too crazy.

So I gradually sold off most of my holdings around BTC 58,000 and ETH 4,400.

Three months later, the market plummeted from its heights, and my only feeling at that time was relief—not because of the money earned, but because I finally wasn’t being harvested anymore.

In that round, I made 12 million.

I used 4 million to pay the down payment in Shenzhen, kept 2 million as cash flow, and left the remaining 6 million in the cryptocurrency space to grow slowly.

Through this journey, my biggest realization is:

It’s about the cycle, not talent. It’s about patience, not frequent trading. It’s about risk awareness, not “betting it all to turn it around.”

I’m not particularly smart; I just endured a bit longer than others, withstood a bit more drawdown, and maintained calm once more when others panicked.

From being an ordinary worker with an 8k salary to the day of financial freedom, I only did three things right:

Heavy investment, holding steady, and quietly exiting when everyone was going crazy.

What you lack is neither effort nor opportunity,

but someone who can help you survive in this market and make stable profits.

The abyss has always been there, and I only light one lamp—whether or not to come ashore with me, the decision is yours. #美联储重启降息步伐 #美SEC推动加密创新监管
