This is not a story of getting rich quickly and then going bankrupt, nor is it a story of turning one’s life around through crypto; rather, it is an ordinary story of a regular person in the crypto world.
The crypto world is reminiscent of tomb raiding in novels, digging for gold, characterized by the allure of getting rich overnight but with inherent risks.
1. Stories from the Crypto World
I first heard about Bitcoin from Teacher Li Xiaolai, who suggested it. At that time, influenced by mainstream media, the common belief was that it was a Ponzi scheme; a string of numbers that some people bought into, and I smugly thought that those playing Bitcoin were fools, and I wouldn’t be deceived. That year was 2019.
It wasn't until I truly entered society and read extensively on platforms like Zhihu that I realized the nature of this society; I was just one of the many.
I can't help but sigh: I actually missed such an opportunity, yet it wasn't until three years after entering the market that I realized even if I had the chance, I wouldn't be able to seize it.
2. My Crypto Career
I probably started getting involved with Bitcoin in a certain month of 2015.
I embarked on my gambling/trading career.
What truly attracted me to the crypto market was the star Liang Xi. Many people are still like this. He did something remarkable; turning 2,000 into 20 million in one night. If you don’t believe it, it means you’re an outsider.
The dream of getting rich overnight inevitably attracted a group of outsiders through this case. Just like winning the lottery, what makes this market special is that it doesn't rely solely on luck, it is nearly free, with no visible underhanded dealings; everyone can earn money based on their own 'strength'—because you can buy and sell freely without waiting for lottery numbers to hit that almost impossible probability.
Liang's subsequent story continues; his bankruptcy and debts are a conclusion that aligns with popular sentiment. In contrast, there are stories of others who lost millions, even tens of millions, followed by another wave of liquidation and bankruptcy; and who lost how much and how much they earned in the bull market.
The spirited me entering the crypto world was always just a passerby. Even though I diligently studied trading techniques, almost getting an account in the trading field. Until I finally got scared of it, I deleted those 'useless' articles, even though they could have provided me with traffic.
I couldn’t keep up with contract technical analysis—it's essentially gambling, and even in gambling, one can’t always win. What can be done?
2. If Time Could Turn Back
Teacher Li Xiaolai mentioned the concepts of regular investment and compound interest early on; he is a long-term thinker. However, as an ordinary person, I couldn't tolerate waiting for years for compound interest to accumulate; my impatience naturally led me to forget these ideas.
In the book (Active and Passive), it mentions 'the power of penetrating time,' cyclical trends, and cycles. I finally grasped the meaning of this phrase this year after entering the market.
At the end of 2021, Bitcoin reached a peak of $69,000, then dropped below $20,000, and now it has risen to $72,000. This cycle has already played out in the crypto world, yet few have grasped it.
Among them, altcoins have particularly emerged at tenfold or hundredfold rates.
Due to unstable work, coupled with contract gambling and lack of principal, I had an opportunity to enter this money-making wave, yet like most people, I lacked the patience and sold out after a few points.
I missed out, and that's a story sadder than a liquidation.
People will learn a lesson to some extent.
Looking back with hindsight...
If I had a stable source of income back then, I would have invested at least 30,000 a year.
If I hadn’t touched high-leverage contracts and had bought more as the price fell, going from 20,000 to 70,000 for 3 times the profit, along with single-digit leverage for regular investments.
If this continues with compound interest, casually withdrawing a portion could allow for a worry-free life for several years, and carefully engaging in the internet could yield some small achievements.
So, after two years, at least 50,000 principal and 5 times profit. That's not insignificant.
If in a few years Bitcoin reaches 100,000, how will we look back? Achieving a million in this life isn’t a dream, and if you only rely on screwing in screws, no matter how far you look back in history, it’s impossible to achieve—this is enough to ensure your freedom for a long time, right? Being low-key means you won't have to sell your time anymore.
Of course, all these 'ifs' are meaningless; looking ahead to the future.
Truly believing in the power of time, choosing good target products, and waiting.
Those who have somewhat personally traversed the bull and bear markets will always remember it deeply.
So turning the above 'ifs' into reality, starting from now is the future.
Achieving a million in this life might be possible before turning 30—previously I actually thought of achieving it within a year.
Recently, I plan to invest in a potential coin that is ready to skyrocket; doubling it is quite simple. At the same time, I'm also looking for some potential coins to hold until the end of the year, expecting a space of over 10 times is not an issue, wanting to keep up with the speed.
