I think you all have noticed that cryptocurrency investment can easily turn into a casino. Economist Wang Fuzhong mentioned in a speech:

“Bitcoin has increased more than 20 million times since its birth. What does that mean?

If you bought 5 yuan at that time, you would have 100 million yuan now. If you bought 100 yuan, you would be on my friend Hurun's Hurun Rich List.

This shows how strong the desire for cryptocurrency is for people to take a gamble.

The biggest harm caused by gambling is not losing money, but inflating people's desires

There is nothing wrong with losing money, money can be earned again, but for a person who currently has an ability of only 5,000 yuan a month, if he gets used to winning or losing 8,000 yuan a day, he may live like this for the rest of his life, because it may be difficult for him to choose a proper job again.

When people forget their original intentions and fantasize about getting hundreds of percent returns every year.

People will disdain the hard-earned money they have already earned through hard work, and fantasize about achieving financial freedom by getting something for nothing, which is simply a pipe dream.

This circle is not as easy as most people think. Many people come and leave immediately.

Some of those who left did not encounter good opportunities when they came in, suffered losses right after they arrived, and left in disappointment within a few months or a year;

There is also a group of people who witnessed the glory but were forced to leave due to leverage bankruptcy. There are also some who, after becoming successful, diversified their investments and only kept a small portion of digital tokens and no longer cared much.

It is very easy to get addicted to an asset class with such huge fluctuations, and some people are still addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves.

For outsiders, holding Bitcoin is the most radical investment. However, what many outsiders don’t know is that for insiders, holding Bitcoin is the most conservative investment.

I looked through my WeChat friends in the cryptocurrency circle and found that many of them have left. As for those who have not left and are doing better and better, I have summarized them into the following categories:

1. They clearly know that they are only here to speculate, so they don’t have any beliefs. They leave when they make money and take advantage of opportunities. Those who speculate on new stocks, take advantage of various airdrops, and take various points should be considered as this group of people.

This group of people has a big characteristic. They don't have a strong sense of morality. In their eyes, making money is just making money. They don't care about principles, morality, or value. (This sentence is neutral to me, and I don't mean to belittle it.)

2. In reality, there are pretty good jobs. Just treat digital currency as a part of asset allocation. Know how to learn and don’t stay in open groups chatting nonsense. You FOMO me and I FOMO you.

The characteristic of this group of people is that they use their spare time to constantly learn and improve their knowledge through various channels, and eventually consolidate their good habits of not buying indiscriminately, holding on to stocks for a long time, and strictly controlling investment ratios.

3. The coin hoarders and those with large positions are all on BTC, and they are the KOLs who have a very deep understanding of Bitcoin.

Having stable income in non-blockchain fields, this group of people do not care too much about some income in the cryptocurrency circle. They have deep savings in non-blockchain industries and have been beaten up when they came to the cryptocurrency circle.

They are very sensitive to the industry and know where to make money and where to lose money. They are generally veterans in the industry, have mined, opened mines, have their own companies, and are particularly optimistic about cryptocurrencies.

I am one of them.

4. The other type is the big BTC miners, who also have a very deep understanding of Bitcoin. The assets of this group of people are very stable, and they have a steady stream of income throughout the bear market. Their overall assets have been preserved most completely in the past four years, and they even have more and more cash on them.

There are relatively few of them in China at present. After mining was defined as illegal in China, all the miners went overseas, so the current miners are all big miners.

After reading my brief introduction above, if you are careful, you will find that these people have different ways of survival, but they actually have something in common in the general direction, such as:

1. Most assets are BTC/ETH/cash

2. Have a certain source of off-site income

3. Know what you are good at and what you are not good at, and have your own ideas

Those who stayed in the game had their own strengths, but the reasons for those who left were basically similar:

The common characteristics of these people who speculate on small coins, get scammed, borrow money, and use contracts are:

In a hurry to get rich!

People who hold all their money in small coins are in a hurry to get rich!

Both those who are cheated and those who cheat others are eager to get rich!

People who borrow money and leverage are in a hurry to get rich!

People who play contracts are still in a hurry to get rich!

There are too many people in this circle who you thought were awesome last year, but are suddenly forced to leave the circle today. Some of them go bankrupt within a year after having assets of hundreds of millions. We see several of them in every bear market.

The most recent bear market in 2022 was even more exaggerated. Three companies with assets worth tens of billions went bankrupt (SBF, zhusu, and the founder of luna), haha.

I want to give you some tips from my experience. Let everyone learn how to better plan the incoming funds, find a suitable path, and live happily and manage themselves in the cryptocurrency circle. Cryptocurrency, do not do or participate in the zero-sum game of life and death. Do more things that benefit others, and you will eventually benefit yourself after doing them for a long time, just like hoarding Bitcoin.
