For those who gained their first pot of gold or huge wealth through speculation, it is almost impossible to maintain a simple life without squandering it. People with such characteristics do not engage in high-risk speculative activities. Those who achieve financial freedom through the crypto space do not accumulate their profits over 3 to 5 years; instead, they bravely seized a trendy opportunity or a major market trend early on and took off directly. In just 3 to 5 days, they earned wealth that others aspire to for a lifetime.
Hoping to make money every day is a mindset of working for others, a small farmer's mentality.
True speculation in the crypto space is like a lottery; yesterday was a simple life, and today it takes off directly.
Referring to early airdrop studios, it's not uncommon for a project to take off overnight due to an airdrop. Of course, there are also certain traders who love trading, willing to use all their funds for full-margin trades, shorting Ethereum and Bitcoin with high leverage.
Among them, some have taken off, while more have become fuel for the market. Those who took off through contracts basically returned to the market afterwards.
Those who achieve great results in the crypto space (A8 and above) are definitely drifting, just in different ways.
Most people will fill their material lives with luxury houses, luxury cars, famous watches, wine parties, and world travel, thus starting a comfortable life as digital nomads. However, they will still pay attention to market trends and occasionally engage in short trades. Overall, it can be considered a semi-exit from the circle.
The second type completely exits the circle.
From then on, they bid farewell to their trading career, publishing a passionate farewell letter before exiting the circle, reflecting on their past trading journey with others, filled with bitterness, pain, excitement, and finally reaching peace.
Then, they choose to delete their social media accounts.
From then on, they leave quietly, concealing their achievements and fame.
The third type continues to stay in the market to break even.
Although they earned huge profits through high-risk operations. After drifting for a while, they still chose to stay in the market, often accompanied by loneliness and excitement.
Unless something unexpected occurs, their fate is to encounter liquidation in subsequent extreme market conditions. Then they continue in the market, desperately seeking to break even. Whenever they feel frustrated from losses, they will pull up their huge profit slips from previous years, paired with a new declaration, self-motivating to return to the peak. Then, they continue to test the waters between unrealized profits and liquidation.
