No, losing a few hundred dollars can lead to such a long article. I'm also 19 years old, I made a little under 10 in digital collectibles, but lost it all in the crypto world. It's all about personal choices and opportunities; there's no need to dwell on it.

I was born in 2005, and I just turned 20 this year. In fact, I had heard about Bitcoin a long time ago, probably in 2018, when I was still in middle school and didn't take it seriously at all. It wasn't until last year when Bitcoin rose to over 70,000 that I realized how crazy it was. But at that time, I just watched, thinking I didn't understand anything, so how could I make money? So I didn't think too much about it.
Until last November, when Trump took office, Bitcoin directly broke through 90,000. At that moment, I realized that this thing really could change fate. I started browsing various cryptocurrency information on Zhihu and Bilibili, watching people in the group chat flaunt their earnings, often multiplying their investments several times. That fantasy of getting rich intensely stimulated me. I couldn't resist; I had to enter the market.
