In the past four years, I calculated the approximate expenses and losses.

Lost 2 million in gambling.

The contract lost 2 million this year.

Annual average expenses in previous years were around 1 million, including all special expenditures, roughly 4 million, excluding about 3 million given to the family.

Investing in projects lost 1 million.

Spot trading also had ups and downs, but I won't count that; the above is in RMB.

I think the most interesting part of life is the ups and downs.

Going from 0 to 1 is much more interesting than going from 1 to n.

Next, I will share how money is made

and some good experiences in between.

If you find it useful, I will share later how money is lost.

I am quite laid-back, but I still have some good habits for making money.

For example, I used to only chase big opportunities.

My Twitter list includes major financing projects, upcoming airdrop projects, projects in the testnet phase, etc.

On Discord, I only enter the communities of these major projects.

The browser tabs also have a key project tab.

I subscribe to emails only for major projects I focus on.

Google Sheets also updates the progress of key projects in real time.

In major project communities, I frequently interact with the officials.

A part of the money I earned is around 3 million from here.

Community Operation

In the early days, my community was very large.

There were over 400 people in more than 10 WeChat groups focused on opportunities.

There were countless other small groups.

Many people think that only traffic influencers can manage communities.

This is actually a misconception.

As long as you are active in a few communities and actively provide wealth codes,

later on, you can establish small groups that many people are willing to join.

This cycle can help you create many of your own high-quality small groups.

Then, you can share and spread wealth codes,

which has a very obvious profit effect.

For example,

in the early days, I pushed some projects hard, many of which increased and made money but were too afraid to sell.

In reality, they were neither my projects nor collaboration projects; I simply saw something good and got my friends on board.

I used to be very naive; I wouldn't do things like anonymously buy first, then have a big account shout out the purchase and anonymously sell.

Some people earned one to two million but didn't dare to run when they could.

Afraid of being scolded, afraid of being hammered, afraid of fans chasing them for revealing addresses.

So, during the inscription wave, a few earned over a million but ended up holding with zero returns and never sold.

However, now many people make a few thousand U.S. dollars using similar methods and cut their positions frequently, making quite a bit of money.

Many people look down on these tactics, but when you think about it, the essence of this crypto market is to trick money out of other people's pockets and into your own; the only difference is whether the methods are sophisticated or rudimentary.

Another way for retail investors to cross classes:

Networking + Building Connections.

Being active in the community, helping project parties solve problems, and providing feedback can quickly get you included in the peripheral team! You can think of this role as a mediator or purchaser in traditional life.

To play this role well, you just need one thing:

Don't ask for rewards before doing; instead, do it first, and then ask. Understand this well.

The rest just requires persistence; wealth is not far from you.
