I personally would not, and I believe that most people would not either. There is no contradiction between living a carefree life and staying in the cryptocurrency circle. But the so-called "carefree life" brings only fleeting happiness, and soon you get tired of it, and your body can't stand it. This is something that many people who pursue "freedom" never mention. To put it bluntly, when you have too much money to spend in a lifetime, life loses motivation and people become undisciplined. It has to be said that getting rich in the cryptocurrency circle is completely different from getting rich in traditional industries. Just like me, I am simply "unworthy of my position".
Before I entered the cryptocurrency world, I had no education or special skills, and I could do nothing but work. After I made money in the cryptocurrency world last time, I was really free and easy for a while. Now if I were to completely leave the cryptocurrency world, I really don’t know what I could do. Don’t think that having money and lying down every day is a good thing. I dare say that it is impossible. Maybe everyone’s pursuit is different, but if you think that having money can make you lie down every day and live a free and easy life without feeling uneasy, it is simply a foolish dream.
It was a real bull market at that time. Even a novice who didn’t understand the technology could make money by following the lead. Buying with your eyes closed was just a matter of how much you could earn. Every day when I woke up, the numbers in my account would jump up by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I never withdrew money, nor did I quit the circle. I just wanted to rush forward. However, in the end, I lost 8 million playing contracts. I paid off a mortgage of 1.7 million, lent 97,000 to my cousin, and took my buddies to Yunnan for less than ten days. I paid for the whole trip and spent more than 200,000. I wanted to withdraw the money to buy a Bentley, but the 8 million was jointly frozen by seven or eight local police. By the end of 21, only 2 million was left.
At that time, I could not have imagined that there would be a bear market. I thought it was an eternal bull market, and I thought the cryptocurrency world was a money printing machine, making money faster than robbing money.
Let me tell you the stories of people around me.
Friends who play with coins should know about DOT. I have a friend who entered the coin circle with a capital of about 500,000 yuan to play DOT coin-based contracts. At the peak, his account reached more than 9.76 million yuan. We all advised him to reduce leverage or close part of his position, but he didn't listen and insisted on getting 10 million yuan. He also occasionally took out 5,000 U for fun. In Nanjing, we often go to Aohong two or three times a week, do ear massage, do SPA, and stay overnight there. The average consumption per person is about 5,000 yuan each time.
He was even more exaggerated, ordering girls to chat with him and coax him to sleep, spending money all night long, I can't remember the price, it seemed to be 500 or 1000 per hour. When I went to Qingdao, he began to withdraw sharply, and in the end there was only about 100 or 200 left in his account.
Although Jinling is beautiful, you can spend money like water. They like to go to shopping malls, but I don’t like noise, so I went there twice. Once at MIU, the three of us boys called about 10 girls and spent more than 30,000 yuan. I played with the money gun for 200 yuan per shot, and each of us played it four or five times. The manager accompanied us throughout the whole process, and I gave a tip of 500 yuan.
I once told them on the top of Purple Mountain that they should not squander money like this, or else there would be no good results. But no one, including me, listened to me and continued to do as they pleased.
As the bull market ended, we left Nanjing and returned to our normal lives. Some went back to work as programmers, some opened shops, some went into the securities industry, and some joined banks.
Thinking of the Rolls-Royce and Danish cars driven by the rich second generation that I saw at the entrance of Aohong, that picture lingered in my mind for a long time.
I like Livermore, and I once wanted to short the target like him, reap the market, and see all kinds of people, but it seems too difficult to achieve at the moment.
