Don't look for a partner in the crypto world, that's the conclusion I reached back in 2018😅
I am not talented, but in 2017, I made my first bucket of gold of 2 million yuan with just 2000 yuan from Litecoin, which I documented on Weibo, thus accumulating my initial followers and gaining some fame in the crypto world. At that time, I was living in a rental house in the Longgang area of Shenzhen, quite far from the city center. Once, I asked on Weibo for recommendations for good restaurants (to treat a friend), and a female follower left a comment. We added each other as friends, and after a month of discussing crypto, one dark and windy night, we had that kind of story and ended up together.
At first, being together was quite good. She graduated from a top university (985), has exceptional intelligence, and is a fast learner. We got along very well. My first bucket of gold, the 2 million, grew to 12 million during the super bull market of 2017, and I felt quite satisfied, gradually wanting to secure my profits, similar to my current idea of stepping back for stability. She admired me greatly, but she was only dabbling in crypto and hadn't made much money, so she hoped to hand over her trading account to me, wanting me to help her earn more. Initially, I refused, but eventually, I succumbed to her persistent requests and ended up managing her account.
In 2018, EOS was all the rage, but what goes up must come down. It started to decline from its peak, showing no signs of stopping. I remember gradually bottom-fishing around 8 dollars, but the constant drop led to increasing losses. To help her recover her losses, I decided to use my account to bottom-fish as well, trying to lower the average cost. Unfortunately, EOS turned out to be a beast, showing no signs of recovery. I remember one night when I was holding a losing position, staying up all night, and ended up losing over 3 million.
After this battle, I was completely at odds with EOS. Anyone who traded crypto early on knows that EOS only stopped falling around 1 dollar, causing countless people to bottom-fish and go bankrupt. As a result, I lost 90% of my earnings from this bull market. If I hadn't dated someone in the crypto world, I might not have gone back to bottom-fish. This hit me hard, and we often argued about this matter, and not long after, we broke up.
Later, I learned my lesson and decided not to date anyone from the crypto world, especially those who trade contracts. After that, I never dated anyone from the crypto world again. In 2021, I dated a rich girl, and because of our interactions, she learned about the crypto world and developed an interest in contract trading, starting to experiment with small amounts. She would ask me every day whether to go long or short. I advised her to quit gambling, but she didn’t listen, so I immediately broke up with her. Unexpectedly, she had the beginner's luck, and in less than a month, she made 300,000 yuan from an initial investment of 100,000 yuan. I advised her to cash out, and she verbally agreed but didn’t take it seriously. One night, she thought she could cash in again when she woke up, but when she opened her account, she found it had gone to zero. Later, she invested another 200,000 yuan, but luck never favored her again. Eventually, she understood what I meant and successfully quit gambling. We ended up becoming good friends. Later in 2023, I encountered another peculiar person, but that's another story.
