The fantastic journey of the crypto world
One: The legendary 480,000 guy
Have you heard of the '480,000 guy'? This brother had an ambitious dream of becoming rich overnight through Bitcoin. In 2014, he put all his 480,000 yuan, which was meant for buying a house, into Bitcoin, even starting a thread on Baidu’s Bitcoin forum to live-stream it, preparing to let the whole world witness his wealth myth. What happened? Bitcoin was like a roller coaster, and his money went down in a straight line, watching his wealth evaporate to only 90,000. People in the forum pointed at him like they were watching a circus monkey, and his family looked at him with disdain; even his mother-in-law quarreled with him, and his wife threatened to divorce him. In 2016, when the price slightly recovered to 3,000 yuan, the 480,000 guy reluctantly sold his coins to buy a house, losing 180,000 and leaving the scene. Who would have thought that just as he left, Bitcoin would start to party, and he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.
Two: The magical six months from 100,000 to 1.5 million
There’s another guy who entered the crypto world in 2016 when Bitcoin was only 5,000 yuan. At first, he was just dabbling, getting up in the middle of the night to check the market, turning himself into a 'crypto zombie'. Later, he found that living like this was too exhausting, so he shifted his focus to Ethereum, casually invested 100,000 yuan, and then forgot about it. After busying himself for a few months, in 2017, he suddenly remembered this investment, logged into the trading platform, and saw that 100,000 yuan had turned into over 1.5 million! He almost thought he had clicked on the wrong website, and it took him a while to realize that he had accidentally hit the bull market.
This retail investor, relying on a bit of luck and a carefree attitude, made a fortune. Why is his mindset good? Because this money was dispensable to him; even if he lost it all, it wouldn’t matter.
Listen to these legendary stories from the crypto world, and you will find that the most precious thing in life is often not money, but the attitude of caring and not caring.
