Let me tell you something about myself. I entered the cryptocurrency industry in 2017 and caught up with the wave of cross-border money transfers. I earned my first 1 million at the end of 2017. It started to take off in 18, and Yu’e Bao exceeded 10 million. Then consumption expanded very fast. When I buy something, I never look at the price. I just take it directly. It doesn’t matter how much the checkout is, without blinking an eye. At that time, the monthly consumption was 400,000 to 500,000 when it was low, and several million when it was high. I had no idea about money, and the money came in too fast. I was still playing Huobi at that time. A BTC on Huobi was 8W7, and a BTC in South Korea was 14W5. about. Just buy it directly from Huobi and send it to South Korea to sell it, and you can earn tens of thousands in ten minutes.

If you don’t believe it, you can pull BTC’s K-line to November 2017 to January 16, 2018 to see how terrifying the price difference is. Then at the end of 2019, I returned to China with the balance of my A8. If you have a house at home, you don’t need to buy it, just buy a car and realize your dream. Starting from about 2017 to 21, consumption was all upgrading. I felt that all the people my age around me were rubbish. I had the mentality of being number one, spending money like water, and going to bars with all kinds of friends. I now have more than 6,000 people on WeChat. I think Basically, more than 5,000 people have been added in the past few years. The biggest expense when I return to China is nightclubs, which are basically in places like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. I don’t like disco music, so I go to all the shopping malls. In recent years, optical rechargeable cards have ranged from 500 to 400.

Then came the turning point

In 2021, the pie increased to close to 500,000 each, and then it was quickly cut in half and then cut in half again. Due to the violent market fluctuations, my profit was reduced to a very small amount. Until 2021, the price difference was actually stable at 20,000. By the end of 21, the price difference was only 1,700. I suddenly panicked. Because the source of high income for me is gone, I don’t know what to do. It used to be hundreds of thousands a day, but now it’s seven to eight thousand a day. I became anxious all over, and I went to see a doctor. I had primary anxiety disorder + moderate depression, and I was drunk. I took foxitine hydrochloride every day, one tablet a day for more than half a year.

Seeing that your balance is at least small every day, you can't give up that kind of life. There are so many people around you calling you big brother every day, and you feel like you are being supported, but you are powerless to change. Fortunately, the market started to improve again in 2022, and then the price difference returned to more than 10,000, so I continued in my old business. So far, I have placed some ether in more than 20 overseas markets. I bought them all as spot and waited for the appreciation in value.

Finally, let’s talk about the changes in recent years.

My family can be said to be upper middle class, but far from the capitalist class. Therefore, when I was a child, my material needs were better than those of my peers, but they were still far behind those of the second generation. I studied abroad, saw the world, and had ideas in my heart. At first, I tried my best to run a small business among international students, and I could only buy a second-hand C63. Others would buy a Ferrari with full payment just a few weeks after arriving. envy. But fortunately, the currency circle gave me an opportunity, but it is actually quite fatal, because once you make money, it will expand very much. I am a typical example.

This kind of swelling will make you lose yourself within a month. I have said in many places that the currency circle only gives you one chance. Once you get it, turn around and leave and return to normal life. You should regard this money as capital and backing for you to venture into the world in the future and not be afraid of failure, instead of treating it as a sign of your intelligence. The culmination of talent. Many people in the currency circle, especially young people who have suddenly become rich, have this mentality. They all think that they won thousands of times the currency through contract leverage and other bets, and became rich overnight because of their excellent trading strategies and cognition. In fact, they think it is God who rewards hard work. Really ridiculous. This is really just you winning the lottery, it has nothing to do with your talent, but you are afraid that if you mistake shit for talent, everything will be lost and returned in the end. Accept when you see good results, leave when you win, and give up when you lose. The currency circle is not a business, and there is no logic at its bottom. LUNA endorsed it so well back then that the whole of South Korea was a guarantee. What will be the final outcome? Now I don’t think it’s surprising that Bitcoin will return to zero one day.

Be sure to remember one sentence: If all your perceptions are correct, then looking back at your life, why do you still have nothing? If you only win once and you think you are right, then you are not far from losing.
