Korean Blockchain Week KBW's Third Year Diary In the first year of 2023, I haven't made much money yet. I have always been very stingy with myself, staying in a hotel far away and mostly relying on taking the subway instead of taking a taxi. All the money was used to hoard Bitcoin, around $2.6W BTC at that time. Of course, there are also coins that appear to have higher multiples now, but my understanding only allows me to keep buying Bitcoin. What impressed me was getting to know the IP team, who had just announced their first round of financing. At that time, my friends in the team had already resigned and even stopped working on web3. At that time, I hadn't been to many activities or places to play, so I would take the initiative to get to know more people and know what they do. Later, I found out that I am a very introverted person, and short-term high-frequency socializing is a kind of energy expenditure for me. In the second year 2024, after earning a small amount of money, I started to feel a bit flat and became obsessed with reading novels. Every day, I would stay up all night until 10 o'clock in the morning and only go out for activities in the evening. I have participated in many Pengu activities, and my friend said she must buy Pengu. She earned a lot of money by issuing coins afterwards. I know a man who claims to be a former employee of OpenAI, which I find a bit strange. Later, while scrolling through Xiaohongshu, I discovered that he had found a Chinese girlfriend, packaged him as a German prince, and even sent paintings to Sun Yuchen on a private plane. In the third year, which is this year, I mistakenly thought that a bear market was coming and that I could take a break, and then look at other industry opportunities. As a result, short selling resulted in a loss of money, while selling quickly resulted in a significant loss of money. The pain of missing out is indescribable compared to not having it at all. While I feel happy for my friends around me who have made money, I also wonder why I didn't catch it. Ask a big shot friend this year, are you happy? He asked me in turn: If you had 1 billion and then lost only 100 million, would you be happy? There is still a lot of money, but there is clearly more. But human growth and wealth growth are not linear, but oscillating. Constantly ask yourself, what exactly do you want? If there are only a few days left in life, is the pain of the present worth it? Life will always lead people to where they should be, so they should always be at the table and not get off it. Then, various good fruits, wait for the wind to come.
