At 28 years old with 7 years of trading experience, I want to tell my story—I got into it because of the hype, but I also ended up getting hurt badly enough.

Back then, it was 2019, in my dorm. I was 21, a junior in college. I accidentally came across a story about the crypto world while I was scrolling. I watched people become rich overnight. It felt like I had found the wealth code. But after going from 0 to 1 and getting into crypto, I got chopped up and sold off along the way. I didn’t understand candlestick charts. I didn’t understand the reasons behind price increases. I even used my living expenses to trade. At that time I had no money, so I couldn’t borrow from classmates. I ate instant noodles for a week waiting for my living expenses to arrive. I didn’t even figure out transaction fees.

Later, I met a really good teacher. After a few months, I was brought along to do e-commerce. At that time, I could start earning a few thousand a month. Then my coworkers around me pulled me into playing A-shares and trading futures. I thought I knew everything. I made some money a few times purely by luck. After that, I also ran into altcoins, and I got lost in them. I watched with my own eyes: what was supposed to be yesterday’s A6 account balance evaporated into A5, and then I averaged down—then it kept falling. I averaged down again. It kept falling again. It almost became 0. I even had the thought of wanting to die. And because of that, my girlfriend left me.

It just so happened that the mask situation started then. The e-commerce industry got hit as if a stone had been dropped on it, crushing down. It pressed the company’s books, and our remaining funds kept getting less and less. I dragged my feet with no way out. I looked for friends, but it didn’t work. I looked to my family, but it didn’t work either. So we blew up.

I deleted all my contacts and everything related to gambling—whether it was A-shares or coins. I restarted from security guard to sales. Back then it was strict about masks, and for months I hadn’t had high-nutrition intake. I worked as a security guard doing sales until 2023 when the lockdown eased. Then I was naive enough to think that physical stores were the next “hot trend,” and I pulled a few friends into starting physical business. Business also went like that: at first we tasted some sweetness, but we also fell hard—really hard. We had disagreements with partners, disputes over equity, and all kinds of issues. This stretch of black history made me want to rip it out of my head.

In 2025, I watched the big pie surge wildly all the way—meaning Bitcoin, as it is right now. Then I re-entered the market and studied knowledge in a systematic way. Unity of knowledge and action. This is how I ended up being who I am today. This is my story. It’s very simple—there were ups and downs, and the crying came straight from the mouth. Looking back at these ten years, I didn’t think I’d fall and then climb back up again. Fall again, then climb back up again. I came to realize the importance of learning and practice.

For me, what matters in trading is both the market and your energy/mindset. I don’t believe in overnight riches anymore. I just want to steadily expand step by step. Risk control is number one! Second, don’t go against the trend! Unity of knowledge and action—that’s the path to salvation, the way to truly know. I don’t play altcoins; I only play BTC, ETH, and other coins that I can understand. If I don’t understand, I don’t touch.

Strictly cut losses: for every trade, the maximum loss is 10%. If it breaks below the moving average, I leave decisively without hesitation.
