From 86,199,682,857 to a net worth of 10 billion, Li Xiaolai only took 13 years

When it comes to Li Xiaolai, some say he is a missionary in the cryptocurrency world, while others say he is a speculator. But regardless, he is an indispensable key figure in the Chinese cryptocurrency circle.

You might not expect it, but Li Xiaolai's career started as a 'star lecturer' at New Oriental. In the early 2000s, he earned millions annually teaching English, but chose to 'quit his job to start a business' at the peak of his career, beginning to write books and start companies.

Many people mocked him for being 'unfocused', but this was just the beginning of his explosive life.

In 2011, Li Xiaolai encountered Bitcoin for the first time.

No one believed him; his friends said he was crazy. But he quietly bought over six figures worth of Bitcoin at a cost of about $1. A few years later, the price of Bitcoin surpassed 10,000 yuan, and Li Xiaolai suddenly became the 'richest man in Bitcoin in China'.

At that moment, many people began to flock around him, but Li Xiaolai knew:

'The cryptocurrency world is not a utopia, but a jungle.'

As an investor, Li Xiaolai was once a core figure in the INBlockchain fund.

You may have heard of these projects:

2. Zcash, Sia, Steemit: Early heavy investments in privacy coins and decentralized content platforms;

3. BigONE trading platform: The trading platform he founded also became an extension experiment of his own ideas.
