Ok, when it comes to cryptocurrencies, the first thing that comes to mind should be 'Bitcoin', which was born after the financial crisis in 2008.
On November 1, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto proposed the concept of Bitcoin.
On January 3, 2009, he pressed the start button, and the world's first node was lit up. It was an extraordinary night, the night the Bitcoin genesis block was born. Perhaps he had already anticipated that the development of Bitcoin would resemble the countless lights outside.
Its original intention was to solve some problems of the traditional monetary system. You can search for the various reasons for the financial crisis yourself; it’s too complex to explain in just a few words. Here, let me simply explain another point: Your money is in the bank, and although you know your bank card password, the bank still has the right to freeze your funds. In the crypto space, as long as you have the private key, no one can freeze your assets. This is the difference between centralization and decentralization.
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, played World of Warcraft as a child. One of his favorite character attributes was changed by Blizzard, which angered him. In 2013, he learned about Bitcoin and was attracted by its decentralized nature, thus entering the blockchain industry. There’s a saying that I’m not sure if I should mention: the current centralization and decentralization somewhat resonate with democracy.
Once you have faith, how to trade is simple: just download an exchange. If you don’t know how, you can ask me; it’s very easy.
Ok, the exchange is downloaded, and you know how to trade. Now, let's start losing money!
Here are the key points, pay close attention!
Beginner's losing money method 1: Attracted by stories of getting rich quickly, seeing others recommend tokens: buy SB, then a hundred times the starting point, a thousand times the bottom line, ten thousand times the launch! Musk promoted it, CZ promoted it, it's going to the big exchanges, hurry up and buy, if you don't buy, it will take off (or go to zero), you won't be able to buy it, haha.
Beginner's losing money method 2: Contracts, seeing so-called 'experts' share their contracts, +1000%, +3000%, then thinking they've met a 'noble person', quickly contacting them, then scanning the code or paying to join the group, following the 'noble person' to gamble on contracts, and the result is obvious: the teacher makes a lot of commission, and you lose everything.
Ok! The above two points are the easiest traps for beginners to fall into, which are quite common on some domestic web2 platforms like Zhihu, Weibo, and Tieba.
Additionally, a concern for beginners is whether cryptocurrencies are a scam and if there will be a day when the bubble bursts. This question is somewhat naïve; in terms of time, from the end of a person's life to the collapse of the universe into a black hole, everything ends with death. In other words, you know you will eventually die; does that mean you shouldn't live now? The process is what matters most, whether the blockchain is a bubble or not. The most important thing is to earn money during this process, this period of opportunity, to enjoy life, so why worry about the rest?
Another point is that trading cryptocurrencies is not illegal, it's just not encouraged domestically. Some beginners plan to learn about the crypto space, but when they search for Bitcoin online, they only find negative articles, which scares them.
Some losses still need to be experienced personally. Some paths still need to be explored on one’s own. The principle is simple; the crypto space is really not that difficult. But most people won’t listen to advice; when they first enter the crypto space, it’s too easy to be attracted by various things, most of which are traps. Only after experiencing it themselves will they realize: when they first entered the space, they heard people say to hold for the long term to make money, and it turned out to be true.
Admitting your shortcomings, acknowledging your abilities, and recognizing that you are just an ordinary person—if you can do this, you will surpass many people.
Going back to Bitcoin, I first learned about it in 2015 when it was a few hundred dollars each. I started by searching for various articles about Bitcoin online, but at that time, the available information was quite limited, and like now, most of it was negative.
Including some beginners who are entering the space now, facing these negative reports, they still decisively choose to step into the crypto space. I think this is commendable; the ability to not be influenced by mainstream media is already a skill in itself.
The doubts about Bitcoin have never ceased since I got in touch with Bitcoin in 2015 and even before that.
I watched those people criticize Bitcoin from a few thousand yuan each to hundreds of thousands. Of course, at the beginning, Bitcoin was only a few cents.
I have always thought this is a good thing. An industry is only not favored by the public in its early stages. To put it bluntly, most people in this world are ordinary, and their insights and logical thinking might not be very outstanding. They are also easily brainwashed by various information.
I must admit that even without comparing material conditions, when it comes to personal abilities and thoughts, there are indeed distinctions in quality. The reality is that harsh.
I am not claiming to be outstanding here, even though I am just an ordinary person. Sometimes I find it very difficult to communicate with certain people around me.
Therefore, the gap between people, in my opinion, is more about thoughts and logic rather than material possessions.
On domestic platforms, there are things I cannot say too directly, but those who can understand will understand, haha.
Or, think about why 'going with the flow' is a derogatory term?
It seems I've gotten a bit off track here, let's wrap up.
