Cheng Hao, born in 1995, entered the cryptocurrency world at the end of December 2017. Whenever he chats with friends in the cryptocurrency world, he always says, "It's easy to make money in the cryptocurrency world, but I regret that I entered it too late." Cheng Hao, who just graduated from college last year, started working in a traditional investment bank, but after working for half a year, he was not only very tired, but also did not make much money. But during his time working in the investment bank, Cheng Hao heard about Bitcoin from his friends in the investment bank circle.


In 2017, Bitcoin increased nearly 14 times from its peak at the beginning of the year to the end of the year. This kind of return is simply unimaginable in the traditional stock market. So he decided to resign from the traditional investment bank and joined a Token Fund through a friend's introduction.


Cheng Hao was unfortunate because the price was at a high point at the end of December 2017, and he could not make much money in the secondary market. He was even trapped deeper and deeper. But Cheng Hao was lucky because he worked in a token investment fund and was able to invest in relatively high-quality ICOs with the company, and reap the last ounce of this bull market.


In half a year, Cheng Hao earned more than 10 million, completing a small leap in class. However, Cheng Hao felt very insecure, especially late at night.


"I can't sleep every night when I lie in bed, because I only made 10 million, which makes me feel insecure. I'm not pretending, I know 10 million is a huge sum of money for most people, but in the cryptocurrency world, this amount of money is really nothing, and most people working in our company have a net worth of more than 50 million." For those cryptocurrency speculators who earned 10 million and can't fall asleep late at night, every late night is a difficult moment for Cheng Hao.


This is completely opposite to what most of us think, because in most people's minds, making a lot of money in the cryptocurrency circle must be very happy, and they should sleep happily every night. But the reality is just the opposite. For Cheng Hao and others who have made more than 10 million in a short period of time, holding this tens of millions of wealth is not an easy thing. They are more afraid of the loss of wealth and the desire for continuous growth of wealth.


After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Life has changed so much. Cheng Hao, who used to squeeze into the subway even during the morning rush hour because he couldn't afford to take a taxi, can now not only take a taxi at will, but also recently bought his dream BMW M3. He never wants to go back to the days of squeezing into the subway, and this thought deepens Cheng Hao's anxiety late at night. All of this can be seen clearly late at night, and the fragility and greed of human nature will only become stronger under the bright moonlight. Cheng Hao, who has assets of over 10 million, has to take some melatonin every night because he can't sleep. In fact, he also knows that taking too much melatonin is not good for the body, but in order to force himself to fall asleep, he can only choose to take medicine. Cheng Hao said: "I will stop taking it when my assets exceed 100 million.


Life is like a roller coaster, and every night makes me anxious"


If only I had sold it then! "Every time he said this, Song Hai would slap his thigh. Song Hai, 30 years old this year, borrowed 1 million yuan through a friend's introduction and bought 5,000 EOS at 95 yuan per piece and 10,000 ONT at 50 yuan per piece. Because a senior friend in the cryptocurrency circle told him: "EOS is this year's ETH, and ONT is this year's NEO." Although he has just entered the cryptocurrency circle, Song Hai has heard about ETH and NEO in 2017: in 2017, ETH rose dozens of times, and NEO rose hundreds of times. Song Hai calculated that even if EOS and ONT did not rise dozens or hundreds of times like ETH and NEO last year, as long as they rose 10 times, his assets would exceed 10 million from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Every time he thought of this, Song Hai was particularly excited because he saw the hope of buying a house in Beijing. During the bull market in April 2018, EOS rose to 140 yuan at its highest point, and ONT rose to 70 yuan at its highest point. In a blink of an eye, Song Hai made nearly 500,000 yuan.


At this time, he thought to himself: "Oh my god, I can buy a 500,000 Mercedes-Benz E-Class now. Otherwise, I will take my wife to the Maldives before getting married. No, no, no, let's have the wedding first. It can be more decent. The venue can be changed to Wangfujing Wangfu Hotel. That's called grand. Then I can call all my college buddies..." Those cryptocurrency speculators who made 10 million and couldn't fall asleep late at night. Songhai began to be unable to sleep these nights, because the pleasure of making money and his wild imagination made him lie in bed and think wildly. Songhai felt that it was only a matter of time before he earned the first 10 million in his life. Or to put it another way, in fact, Songhai had already earned 10 million in his wild imagination, and now he was just considering how to spend the money. Excited Songhai, holding the "10 million he had already earned", consumed himself in fantasy every night. However, a day in the cryptocurrency circle is like a year in the human world. The market took a sharp turn for the worse. The bull market in April left without a trace. Since May, the cryptocurrency market has entered a long bear market. As of now in July 2018, the prices of all cryptocurrencies have fallen terribly, including EOS and ONT, which Songhai had pinned its hopes on.


Yes, in just less than three months, Songhai went from making 500,000 to losing 500,000. Coupled with the need to repay a loan of more than 40,000 every month, Songhai began to fall into anxiety and fear. Especially at night, Songhai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When he made money before, it was because of excitement; now when he loses money, it is because of fear. Seeing the loss of thousands or tens of thousands on the account of his digital currency exchange every day, Songhai is dazed at work every day. Not to mention the previous goal of making 10 million by the end of the year, now Songhai only hopes to earn back the principal. "I'm really scared, especially when I'm alone at night." Songhai said listlessly.


Every night, Song Hai would keep staring at the market, hoping for a big, strong positive line so that he could pay off his loan soon. After all, he still hoped to marry his beloved girlfriend by the end of this year, but the impulsive loan he took out before has now become a stumbling block to his marriage and future. To be precise, perhaps it was not the loan that really hindered his happiness, but his greed. After all, the tears and hysteria he shed late at night were Song Hai's true voice. Song Hai said, "I will stand up again."
