In 2018, I downloaded my first cryptocurrency exchange and started my digital currency journey.
In 2019, I bought $100 worth of ADA at $0.03 each. A few months later, the price rose to $3, and I made 100 times my investment. Just because the name ADA sounded nice, I sold all of it in the second month when I was only 19 years old.
In 2020, I watched Ethereum (ETH) rise from $70 to $700. By the end of the year, I bought one ETH for $700 and sold it for $1800 shortly after, while ETH eventually peaked at $4800.
In January 2021, I bought XRP at $0.3 and sold it at $0.7, while XRP ultimately rose to $1.96.
In the same year, I bought LTC for $140 and sold it when the price reached $250, and then LTC peaked at $413.
I also bought some DF coins, which had been stagnant, but during a bull market, one day it suddenly soared by 100%, so I sold it that day, and the price indeed fell afterward. That time, I considered it as "cutting off" the market maker.
Through these operations, my $10,000 principal multiplied 5 times in just 3 to 4 months, and I cashed out to go home for the New Year.
In November 2021, the market welcomed its first bull market peak, and then entered a long bear market, and I started a regular job.
In 2022, during the bear market, I bought Fiokl, which had a market cap of less than ten million dollars, and sold it a few months later. If I had held it until now, it could have been another opportunity for a leap in class.
Last year, Inscriptions appeared, and I sensed an opportunity, but due to a lack of understanding of the operation methods and no relevant tutorials, I missed the ORDIs miti and once again brushed past the chance for class advancement.
By the end of the year, Inscriptions went live on Binance, triggering another wave of excitement. I used the remaining 4000 yuan to buy $22 of ORDI, and in less than a month, this investment grew to 10,000 yuan.
Then, I invested 5000 yuan into OK and Web3 platforms for Inscriptions, adopting a strategy of selling right after minting, and I generally made good profits, although I also missed several opportunities where some coins could have multiplied by over ten times. Ultimately, this money grew to 30,000 yuan, bringing my total account balance to 35,000 yuan.
As the market began to cool down, I withdrew 35,000 yuan, of which 25,000 yuan was used for living expenses.
In April this year, I returned to the crypto circle, entering again at a price of $700. Through airdrops, contracts, spot trading, and preemptively investing in coins like TRB, ACT, and PNUT, I turned $700 into $11,000, cashing out $4,000 and leaving $7,000.
Despite this, although I made some money, I still haven't reached the level of financial freedom. This is my investment experience.
