My Xth anniversary yesterday was my third year in the industry. In the past three years, I have experienced countless sleepless nights, with anxiety, breakdowns, and internal conflicts repeatedly appearing, but I have always forced myself to adjust, persevere, and survive I started investing in December 2021. At that time, my math teacher said he made 80000 yuan in a month by buying A-share funds, and I was moved. So I went online every day to learn about A-shares, join groups, find "big shots", and read various materials. I worked hard for four months, but still lost money. At that moment, I understood: if the direction is wrong, striving will only make it worse Later, the teacher said he had 8 bitcoins, and out of curiosity, I went to check "What is Bitcoin?" and accidentally stumbled into the cryptocurrency industry In April 2022, when I was still in high school, I had just registered for Twitter but hadn't used it much yet, so I started playing Shuzo. We achieved a peak of 200000 yuan with a capital of 15000 yuan from selling A-shares. For me at that time, this was already a huge sum of money. I was thinking about going back to school in September to show off, but the gambling was too strong, and by late June, the funds had almost gone to zero At that time, I only had one or two thousand yuan left on me, so I could only borrow 4000 yuan from my classmates. I also stole 50 to 100 yuan from home every day, saving up money bit by bit and starting to study the cryptocurrency industry again At first, I spent three months on Twitter, mostly participating in lottery draws and NFT whitelists, and learned almost nothing. Later, I transferred to Weibo and saw Mao Mao, Little Penguin Shione、KK、Tony、 Strawberries and these people only truly began to learn about trading related knowledge, and then returned to Twitter for further studies During the 2022 World Cup, I found an imbalance in the reward pool mechanism of my OK wallet and collaborated with friends to raise funds, earning 200000 yuan. I still remember in September when I was thinking: earning 100 yuan (15U) a day would be enough for my livelihood. I didn't expect the World Cup to make a big impact on me, and it also made me truly determined that this circle is where I want to stay. Even if the market is poor, it can still hold my lower limit In April 2024, it was my first time running a race, which completely broadened my horizons. Many projects operate in this way, and many people think about problems in this way I have met a friend of @ yzilabs, a top investment firm in the industry, and can often discuss different perspectives of cognition with him; I often see @ justinsuntron@ Heyibintance, @ cz-binance, and other legendary figures in the cryptocurrency industry; I can also get to know many project parties and understand the logic and beliefs behind their projects From these people, I not only learned something, but also gradually met some people who recognized me and were willing to cooperate with me. In these three years, I can finally support myself on my own This journey was really difficult, but I got through it. My efforts were not in vain. All the growth, experiences, and little recognition are already the most precious wealth for me at my age What truly makes me feel precious is being able to get to know these people and gain their recognition. Compared to wealth, the communication, collision, and growth between high cognitions are the greatest rewards I have received from this circle Being able to learn, think, and move forward with excellent people is far more satisfying and reassuring for me than making money
