Mao Shihang, known as the 'Divine Fish' in the crypto world, first learned about Bitcoin at the age of 21.

At 23, he earned 100 million yuan. By the age of 25, he lost it all overnight.

At 26, he started over but missed out on a chance to make a windfall of 2.6 billion.

Now he has reached the peak again, returning to the starting point of his life.

So, what kind of legendary experiences does Mao Shihang have?

In 2011, 21-year-old Mao Shihang was a sophomore studying Communication Engineering at Beijing University of Chemical Technology.

One afternoon, with nothing to do, Mao Shihang went to the library to kill time online.

He saw a news article that Bitcoin's price had surpassed 1 dollar but didn't pay much attention at the time; it seemed the universe was intentionally knocking on his door.

Mao Shihang's interest was immediately piqued when he learned that Bitcoin was a decentralized digital currency that used cryptographic technology to solve the double-spending problem in value transfer, as if he had discovered a whole new world.

From that day on, Mao Shihang spent all his time in the dormitory, day and night, immersed in the earliest Bitcoin forums from abroad, where he saw Satoshi Nakamoto and his team interacting with community members.

Mao Shihang felt that this was a technology that would change the face of the future, reshaping his life in the process.

That year, Bitcoin's price rose to 30 dollars. If you wanted to obtain Bitcoin, there were only two ways: either buy it on the market or mine it.

After choosing the right direction, Mao Shihang devoted himself to studying various Bitcoin mining technologies and deeply learning about mining hardware.

In early 2012, Mao Shihang purchased several graphics card mining machines and officially began mining.

Soon, Mao Shihang sold the coins he mined, cashing out over 1 million. In 2013, just after entering his first year of graduate school, Mao Shihang still wanted to engage in mining work.

After obtaining his parents' consent, Mao Shihang took a leave of absence from school and officially founded China's first Bitcoin mining pool, F2Pool, known in the crypto world as 'Fish Pool'.

Thus, China's massive army of mining machines was born, marking the official start of a significant transfer of computing power from the United States to China.
