24 years old, made 2 million from trading coins, almost lost my life

I never expected that a person like me could actually make hundreds of thousands to millions from trading coins.

At that time, I just entered the circle, knowing nothing. I listened to my friends who said things like "Bitcoin can surge," and at first, I didn't believe it. Later, I was just too bored, so with a mindset of trying it out, I threw in two thousand bucks. Within a few days, it doubled.

My mind was buzzing, and I thought—wow, maybe this really is a way to make money.

Then I started studying, watching the market every day, pretending to be a normal person during the day, and at night, I sat in front of the computer like a gorilla, staring at the candlestick charts.

At first, I didn't make much, but the more I played, the better I got, and my confidence grew. I started trading contracts, buying altcoins, and dared to deal with all sorts of "meme coins" and "dog coins." At my peak, I could make several thousand in a day, and my account had once surged past 2 million.

At that time, I got carried away; I really did. I even didn't want to go to work anymore, dreaming every day of retiring at thirty, traveling abroad with my parents, and driving a Tesla to a café to watch the market...

And what happened? I got slapped awake.

Altcoins can really be deadly when they drop; a halving in a day is considered mild. Just the day before, I was thinking about reaching 5 million, and the next day my account was so red that I didn't dare to open it.

Then I started various tactics to average down, holding positions, waiting for a rebound, but the more I averaged down, the more I lost, essentially digging my own grave. All the money I earned was completely returned, and I lost a lot in interest and emotions as well.

Looking back now, I realize I was too young and too greedy back then.

Is making money hard or not? Actually, it's not hard at all. The hard part is, even when you make money, you have to resist the urge to be greedy.

Now I’m much clearer-headed, and although my account only has a little left, at least I know how to live. I don’t open contracts recklessly anymore; I only trade major coins and only accept risks that I can handle.

Before, I made money quickly; now I lose it quickly; in the future, I need to be steadier and take it slow. After all—life is more important than opportunity, and being alive gives you a chance to turn things around.
