Continuing from the last message, last night I lost over 1100 units of oil due to a stop-loss set during an inexplicable order hanging, and then it instantly bounced back by 100 points, which was disgusting. So I haven't played at all today.

Let's just chat a bit then. Losing over 1000 units of oil is quite painful for me, but it's not as easy as it sounds in the text. I don't feel too bad because the first image earned me some money yesterday, a slight pullback is normal, and it hasn't reached the point where I don't consider 9000 yuan as money; mainly, as long as I have gains, that’s fine. I didn't plan to share the profits made yesterday because most people in the square are still losing; I’m afraid that sharing every day isn't good, and it might make me seem like a perpetual winner, which I don't really like. Having both profits and losses is what a normal player experiences.

Today, I indulged in some retail therapy. I won't buy an iPhone; the 14 Plus I have is actually good enough, with no major demands, just that the screen is a bit small, which hurts my eyes. Buying an iPad seems more reasonable. I also gave my mom 1000 yuan as pocket money, which is over 100 units of oil. I’m hesitant to transfer too much at once to avoid raising suspicion; it’s better not to tell my family about trading cryptocurrencies. People from my mom's generation see it as not being diligent, and my dad is even more of a traditional old-timer, so let’s not even mention it. Last time I went back, I bought a few good cigarettes, and they suspected I was up to no good. Because in their eyes, I really didn’t do well in previous years, so saying that the crypto world changed my fate, at least it changed the life of this working-class guy who was broke and living paycheck to paycheck. The New Year is coming soon; I hope the market operators see this and prepare a little more for my New Year fund. I need to go back and show off this year!!

Not to mention other things, at least when it comes to giving red envelopes to relatives, friends, and children, it won't hurt so much. I can give my parents and grandma larger red envelopes. Last year when I went back for the New Year, my parents and grandparents only gave me 500 yuan, which is honestly a bit embarrassing for someone my age. I'm approaching 30, and it's happening quite fast.

I've actually always been quite a loser, you could say I've lived like this since childhood. When I was young, farming and cutting firewood were the norm; buying things was always about cost-effectiveness as the first choice. I'm just an ordinary worker with side income; trading cryptocurrencies or gambling brings quick returns, as long as it doesn't break the law, it seems like that's it... To be honest, there are many business people in Fujian, and there are also many who do bad things; I belong to the type of mediocre person in the middle.
