《My Brief Encounter with BNB》
Today there wasn’t much of a big market movement, BTC and ETH were both stagnant, and I had no plans to take action. But after lunch, I casually opened Binance and saw BNB gently rising a little bit; I felt a bit restless, just like seeing a glowing lottery shop sign by the roadside, always wanting to try my luck.
Watching it rise slowly, I thought to myself: "Just buy a little bit, practice my skills." So I made a small investment and bought some BNB. But right after I bought it, it just—stopped moving. Really, it didn’t move at all. I felt like someone waiting for takeout, refreshing every five minutes, "Why is it still not here?"
I began to fall into self-doubt: Should I not have bought it just now? Is today not the right time to take action? Am I just not cut out for trading? Later, I simply closed the app and went to wash the dishes.
When I returned and took a look, hey! It had quietly risen by 2.1%. I felt a little excited, my finger hovering over the “sell” button. But I was conflicted inside: if I sell, I’ll make a few bucks, but what if it continues to soar? Just as I was deliberating, it dipped a little. I immediately came to my senses: Alright, don’t be greedy, lock in your gains first!
I hit sell, and after settling, the profit was less than the cost of a meal, but I felt pretty happy. Because it wasn’t just about making a few bucks, but rather: I maintained my composure, made the right decision, and wasn’t led around by the market.
In the crypto world, at the end of the day, it’s more about competing with oneself. Today’s brief encounter with BNB taught me: not every trade needs to be earth-shattering; small gains and stability are also a kind of victory.
