One year, I had insane luck—my account returns hit around 403%. I was so proud, showing off everywhere. After that, it got super awkward. My moves became off, and every time my total returns dropped below 400%, I’d get ridiculously anxious. When someone puts themselves on too high a pedestal, it’s like making a Buddha statue way too big. If you put it indoors, it makes the whole room feel stifled. If you put it outdoors, it has to endure the wind and rain. In the end, you see the Buddha nailed to the wall, stuck there. That’s why my ancestor Confucius said, “To be noble but without position, high but without people,” just like the I Ching says, “The overreaching dragon has regrets.” When it comes to crypto, you’ll notice that the truly smart investors and exchange owners bow out early and stop showing off in the spotlight. The following year, I openly told people my account had lost almost half its value. That’s when I finally relaxed. I went from being the Buddha nailed to the wall to becoming a happy little fish, like in the saying, ‘You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?’
