24 years old, made 2 million trading cryptocurrencies, almost lost my life
I never expected that a person like me could earn hundreds of thousands or even millions through cryptocurrency trading.
At that time, I had just entered the circle, knew nothing, and listened to my friends who were saying things like "Bitcoin can surge." At first, I didn’t believe it, but later, I was too bored and, with a try-it-out attitude, put in two thousand yuan. Within a few days, it doubled.
My mind was buzzing, and I thought—wow, this thing might actually be a way to make money.
Then I started to study, watching the market every day, pretending to be a normal person during the day, and staying in front of the computer like a gorilla at night, staring at the K-line.
At first, I didn’t earn much, but the more I played, the smoother it got, and my confidence grew. I began to trade contracts, buy altcoins, and dared to mess with all sorts of "meme coins" and "dog coins." At my peak, I could earn several thousand in a single day, and my account once soared to over 2 million.
At that time, I was floating, really floating, and didn’t even want to go to work anymore. I dreamed every day of retiring at thirty, taking my parents abroad to travel, and driving a Tesla to the coffee shop to watch the market...
What happened next? I was slapped awake.
The drop in altcoins was truly deadly, a halving in a single day was considered gentle. The day before, I was thinking of reaching 5 million, and the next day my account was so deep in the red that I didn’t dare to open it.
Then I started various margin calls, holding positions, waiting for rebounds, but the more I added, the more I lost, effectively digging my own grave. All the money I had earned was returned, and I lost quite a bit in interest and emotions as well.
Looking back now, I realize I was too young and too greedy back then.
You ask if making money is hard? Actually, it’s not hard at all. The hard part is, after you’ve made the money, can you resist the urge to be greedy?
Now I’m much clearer-headed, and although my account is down to a little, at least I know how to survive. I no longer trade contracts recklessly, only deal with major coins, and only take on risks I can accept.
I used to earn quickly, and now I lose quickly; in the future, I need to take it slow and steady because—life is more important than opportunities, and being alive is the only way to turn things around.
Having been through the rain, I want to lend a hand to newcomers; feel free to reach out.
