I’m probably one of the more typical “old weeds” in the crypto world.
I’m not a professional by training, and I’m definitely not some trading genius.
Actually, I started out running an internet café.
During the past few years of the pandemic, the cafés shut down. To save myself, I was introduced to crypto for the first time and started mining.
Back then there was no “belief” at all—it was just mine, withdraw, and sell. Get the electricity bill covered first.
Later, my first time buying coins was SHIB.
500 yuan—after only a few days it turned into 2000.
Looking back now, making money on your first try is probably way too easy, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing.
After that, I started to feel:
This money doesn’t seem that hard to earn.
Then NFTs became hot.
Every day I’d grind on Discord,抢 whitelist spots—once I got them, I sold. And yes, I made some real money.
Then came chain games.
I lost several hundred thousand.
After that, I ran into contracts.
I knew nothing, so I just opened $ETH .
At first my luck was good—I made about 50U a day and then ran.
When it went up, I ran. When it dipped, I topped up. When it rebounded, I ran again.
Until one day ETH kept falling.
I kept topping up too.
In the end, my position got topped up to—100 ETH.
During the process, I added margin a few times, and I held on for a long time.
Thankfully it rebounded in the end. I cut out with a small loss.
After that, I basically haven’t touched contracts again.
Not because I “enlightened.”
It’s because I was almost traumatized.
Later I started farming or “lending” airdrops, and the first few projects also brought in some gains.
And slowly I started buying spot $BTC , $ETH , $SOL, SHIB, and DOGE.
Last year I also grinded on Somnia and got tens of thousands of $SOMI in airdrops.
When it launched, I didn’t sell.
I thought it could still go up.
Turns out—once I held it, I’ve held it until today.😂
Through the whole journey:
I made money mining, made money with SHIB, made money with NFTs, made money from airdrops;
I lost money in chain games, nearly got wrecked by contracts, and S0MI also rode a roller coaster.
So now things are actually simpler.
Since last year, I’ve been doing Binance flexible redemption + DCA on $BTC and $BNB .
I also kept some cash on hand.
This account, later on, I won’t teach anyone to get rich, and I won’t pretend to be a teacher.
Mostly I’ll talk about:
market conditions, the Binance ecosystem, my own positions, and the real-life pitfalls I’ve stepped into over the years.
If you get it right, you get to “eat meat.”
If I get it wrong, I’ll admit it too.
As for the next big dip—
the bullets are still there.

In 15 minutes, $SIREN drove it up 8.07%.
The day's high was 0.0365.
Rallies like this aren't uncommon, so don't assume it will keep going up.
Take it easy with leverage.

#SIREN

Just saw a news story: Roadster launched into the air, and a Solana-themed coin briefly doubled in value.
Put simply, this is related to $SOL . $SOL is now at 105.53.
I’ll keep an eye on this for now, but don’t read too much into it.

#SOL

Let's talk about the market.
Capital B's half-year report: a net loss of 69.5 million euros, mainly due to Bitcoin impairment.
I saw this news—making a note of it.
$BTC is now at 82024.23, up 0.73% over 24 hours.

#BTC

There's some movement on the chart.
$ICNT just surged upward over the past hour, by 7.18%.
Overall today: +34.21%.
Don't rush to chase it; wait and see.

#ICNT

$TAO There's some buzz here: Trending topic: Half of China's AI computing power is reportedly being used to produce feel-good dramas.
Be careful with contracts.
What do you think?

When I first got into crypto, I wanted to jump into action whenever I saw news. I’ve learned my lesson now: watch first, act later.
Take this news, for example: Sharjah Police in the UAE have busted a transnational digital-asset crime network and seized assets worth over $54 million.
While things are still unfolding, don’t spread rumors before the project team issues a statement.
There are lots of scammers impersonating customer service after incidents like this—don’t click on anything.
$BTC Let’s wait and see. Do you remember what happened after similar news stories in the past?

Just one thing today: With your main job to fall back on, you can patiently wait for good opportunities.
Back to the market: $XRP is now at 1.3378, up 0.32% over the past 24 hours.

Fed's Goolsbee says this was a frustrating month from an inflation standpoint.
I took a quick look at this news—just making a note of it.
When it comes to policy, don't bet on the direction of every single item; just get a sense of the overall trend.
Everyone just needs to be aware of it.
$BTC Am I understanding this correctly? Feel free to add anything.

Since we're already talking about this, let's discuss it.
$AGT 5 minutes are down 7.74%.
The market has cooled off, so don't panic. What do you all think?

This is pretty interesting.
The SIREN funding rate rose to 0.0327%.
Basically, I’m just watching for now—no rush to draw conclusions.
$SIREN
What would you do?

I've seen plenty of new listings before, and honestly, they all tend to follow the same pattern.
This time it's $BTC : an exchange is launching a public beta of on-chain spot and perpetual contracts, simulating trading in traditional financial markets.
With this kind of launch news, I usually just note the timing and take a look at the order book then.
I'll make a note of this one for now; we can talk more if there's an update later.
There's no rush. Put your principal in gradually—don't put it all in at once.

#BTC

With the same stop-loss level, why do some people lose 1% while others lose 30%?
Before opening a position, decide on three numbers: the stop-loss level, the maximum amount you’re willing to lose on a single trade, and the position size calculated from that amount.
In short, set the stop-loss first, then work backward from your per-trade risk to calculate your position size. That way, any loss from a trade that goes against you stays within the range you worked out in advance.
$BTC is currently 81512.77.

#BTC

What's going on? It went up 1.71% in $ETH 15 minutes.
I haven't seen any news either. When it rises too fast, I usually don't chase it.

A lot of people use it every day, but don’t necessarily understand it. What exactly is Gas? As I understand it, Gas is a unit for measuring how much computational resource a transaction uses on Ethereum. A standard ETH transfer consumes 21,000 Gas. On Ethereum, you pay for Gas using $ETH . Have you got it now?

Contract position $US moved +59.53% in 1 hour, while the coin price rose 0.95%.
With markets like this, high leverage means you may not be able to withstand even a small swing. Don't take on too large a position.

After trading for a while, you realize: when you trade with money you need for living expenses, every market fluctuation becomes a source of stress.
Without confidence, even the best plan is hard to stick to.
Right now, $BTC is at 80818.82, down 2.43% over 24 hours. Share your trading habits in the comments?

Just saw: ARC's 1-hour open interest is up 155.4%.
Honestly, this kind of thing happens every few days, so I usually wait and see.
$ARC . I'll say more if anything changes.

I mentioned this to a friend: A PUMP whale sold 1.264 billion tokens in a single transaction, receiving 5.483 million USDC.
He asked what I thought, and I told him: People always make a fuss about this kind of news. We just shouldn’t let ourselves get swept along.
Don’t sell as soon as you see a headline like this. Check the details first, then decide.
Keep an eye on it, but don’t rush into anything.
$PUMP Let’s wait and see. Do you usually follow this kind of news?
