Standing at the junction of 48 million assets and looking back, those ups and downs still surge in my memory. I am just an ordinary member of the crowd, with an ordinary family background, a mediocre university graduate, and an unremarkable performance in the workplace, let alone any mature financial planning. Until 2016, the 300,000 I saved up became the first turning point in my life.
That year, I put down an 180,000 yuan deposit to buy an 830,000 yuan house. Who would have thought that within just a year, this house would become my springboard to wealth? In May 2017, the house was sold for a high price of 1.29 million, and after deducting various fees, my funds jumped to 800,000 yuan. It was also in this year that the stock market began to show signs of recovery, and with a trial-and-error mindset, I made small investments. Until I naively trusted a Weibo influencer’s advice and bought Tonghuashun for 400,000 at a high point, only to suffer a painful loss of 170,000 two months later. Fortunately, I met a trader who cooperated with a 55% profit-sharing arrangement, and in that month, I made 1.4 million, sharing 700,000 with him, which gave me a taste of investment success.
When I first got into Bitcoin, I just wanted to make a few thousand to supplement my household expenses, but within a month, I suffered a loss of 1.84 million due to contract liquidation. This painful lesson ignited my fighting spirit. I spent 199 yuan to purchase over 1,000 indicators from Coin World and devoted myself to studying trading techniques. With only 300,000 yuan in capital, I managed to increase my funds to 980,000 in three months.
At the end of 2019, the pandemic struck unexpectedly, and during the days of working from home, I relied on my sharp market intuition to decisively liquidate during the frenzy of others, sharing my views on Weibo and gaining my first batch of followers. Shortly after, the '312' black swan event erupted, and I officially embarked on my legendary journey in the cryptocurrency world. From investing 100,000 in May 2020 to reaching 1.6 million by August, only to unexpectedly lose 1 million; accurately predicting the bottom of Bitcoin, helping fans earn millions... each step was thrilling.
In April 2021, I welcomed my first wealth peak, with 26 million recorded, and I even changed jobs to one with a 350,000 yuan annual salary. However, subsequent greed led me to stumble greatly in my search for low-priced altcoins. The '519' crash hit, and my assets shrank to 18.5 million. Thanks to contract operations, on September 4, my assets briefly soared to 60 million, but just as I was preparing to purchase real estate, fate played a cruel joke on me. Due to multiple platform contracts failing to close in time, along with unexpected situations, a rainstorm, a traffic jam, and a dead phone led to my sudden liquidation, and all my assets turned to vapor.
Even so, faced with dwindling funds, I was still driven by desire and chose to gamble with my entire holdings at 10 times leverage. In the days that followed, my assets fluctuated, sometimes dropping to 43 million, while at other times recovering a bit. I repeatedly struggled between despair and hope, constantly adjusting my strategy, gradually accumulating with small positions. From 2022 to 2023, my funds lingered in the trough, and 300,000 became my final bottom line.
Fortunately, my perseverance brought me a turning point. In October 2023, a small bull market quietly arrived, and I seized the opportunity, increasing my assets to 28 million by March 2024. I then liquidated my assets for travel, and in September, I publicly bought the dip, reaching 48 million by early December. Throughout this journey, the market changed rapidly, and the experiences from the previous two bull markets repeatedly failed me, but I continually evolved through exploration.
Looking back on this journey, I missed three opportunities for a thousandfold return, four opportunities for a hundredfold return, and countless opportunities for tenfold and severalfold gains. These unsaid regrets have all transformed into my motivation to keep moving forward. Now, I am still waiting for that opportunity that will allow me to achieve my 'small goal of 100 million'. Once my dream comes true, I will withdraw from the scene. In the vast sea of cryptocurrencies, my story continues...
