（The BNB that has been lying in my wallet for three years reminds me of the tears from that night when I blew up my account）

On the day of the contract liquidation in December 2022, I threw my phone onto the sofa, and my 200,000 principal disappeared into thin air. Staring at the ceiling until dawn, I suddenly remembered what my college roommate said: 'Few people in the crypto world can hold on for three years without losing.' At that time, BNB had fallen to $180, and I saw the '2023 burn plan' on Binance's announcement board, and suddenly made a decision: no more short-term trading, let’s try holding on.

I divided the remaining 45,000 into 60 parts, investing $500 in BNB every Thursday. I remember in March 2023, it dropped to $130, my account was down 30%, and someone in the group shouted 'to zero', but I pulled up the average daily trading volume of the Binance Smart Chain—4 million transactions, higher than Ethereum. 'So many people use this, it can't keep dropping indefinitely, right?' I challenged myself, set my investment records as my phone wallpaper, forcing myself not to check the market.

The real tough time was in the summer of 2024, the market was stagnant for more than half a year, with BNB hovering around $250, while friends trading contracts were making quick money every few days. I opened the sell page several times but backed out. Until I saw Binance announce the establishment of a decentralized exchange in Dubai, and the founder CZ exchanged 98.6% of his assets for BNB, I suddenly understood: this coin is not air, it is tied to exchange transaction fees, DeFi mining, and new coin issuance, just like holding the original shares of a shopping mall; the more people use it, the more valuable it becomes.

At the end of last year, when BNB rose to $580, my account balance broke 300,000, but I didn’t sell. Now it is June 2025, it has just undergone its fourth halving, and the price surged to $800, my assets in the wallet multiplied six times. A few days ago, while整理ing old items, I found the bank statement from the liquidation, and suddenly understood the saying 'time is a friend of good assets'—contracts are like dice on a gambling table, once thrown, fate decides; but holding BNB for three years, I watched it transform from a trading platform coin into an ecological passport, witnessing Binance using the burned coins to buy back user losses, just like watching a sapling slowly grow into a tree.

Now my computer screensaver is a screenshot: December 18, 2022, BNB price at $182.5, with the words 'Let's hold on for another three years and see.' Of course, I must remind you: I can hold on because I am using money that I won't starve to death if I lose, and BNB's ecosystem is indeed expanding (for example, the $2 billion investment in Abu Dhabi this year)#交易类型入门
