Today’s article may break through your cognition, and you may also find it magical and a bit fake. Even I find it unbelievable when it sounds like this.

It is not credible because you have always lived in a small world, you have not seen the outside world, and you have not gone to circles that ordinary people cannot access, so you always think that this thing is impossible. The most important point is that you have not made money and your information is too narrow.

Today’s protagonist is a native of Guangzhou, a young man born in 1998.

He lived next door to me in college, one year older than me and one year younger than me.

I made more than half a hundred million yuan by playing with Bitcoin, but lost it all later. Finally, I made some money again. Now I have assets worth over eight figures. At the age of 25, I have experienced many ups and downs and now I am financially independent.

I call him Ah Cheng.

Acheng started playing stocks in 2014. He was in high school at that time. He opened an account for himself and then studied it out of his own interest when he had nothing to do.

He really entered the cryptocurrency circle in 2016, when he was a freshman in college. From 2014 to 2015, he accumulated a lot of experience in these two years. However, he didn't know much about the cryptocurrency circle in 2016. He also participated in some Ponzi schemes and was defrauded miserably. At that time, he saw a lot of coins on Yuanbao.com (one of the three giants in the cryptocurrency circle at that time). At that time, Bitcoin was only 3,000 yuan, Litecoin was less than 20 yuan, and Dogecoin was 0.1 cent. He invested tens of thousands of dollars.

He said that he had called some classmates and friends to join in the effort, and there was a plate that someone he knew, and his friend bought it for less than 1,000 yuan. But later on, his friend felt that the 1,000 yuan would be lost, so he took it out.

He said that in fact, the most profitable thing in the cryptocurrency circle is not volatility, but holding coins. In 2016, he bought a lot of coins, but ignored them and forgot about them. In 2017, the value of Dogecoin doubled over and over again, and his Dogecoin helped him earn his first pot of gold, almost 1 million.

After 9.4 (the official red-headed document prohibiting digital currency xxx and the like), there was a bloody market crash and most people left the market. However, for a period of time after 9.4, when others were in panic, he bought a lot of coins, mainly some low-priced mainstream ones.

At the same time, after September 4, I realized that the bull market was actually driven out by the crash and panic. After November 2017, there was a big bull market. I stopped playing on Yuanbao.com and went to Huobi.com (the mainstream platform later). When it was crazy at that time, I bought a lot of altcoins and Huobi (coins worth less than one cent).

Just like that, he made another profit.

He got out before the end of 2018. His account balance was about 10 million. He thought about stopping later, but there was another wave of adjustments after the new year. He felt that this was another opportunity, so he jumped in again and bought some AE coins and so on.

At that time, he was a sophomore in college. Every day in the dormitory, he would wake up with hundreds of thousands more in his account.

How does money feel? I don’t feel much.

His personal peak assets should be 1,700 bitcoins. What does 1,700 bitcoins mean?

Later, he started to deal with contracts and futures, making millions a day, and then he started to give rewards to live broadcasts. He said that he gave millions of rewards to the anchors at that time. Later, he said that he actually died because of the contracts. He played around on OK (trading platform) and made millions or tens of millions at will. Once, his position was accurately wiped out.

In the second half of 2018, things started to go downhill. I lost a lot of money, including the money given by the asset management (that is, some people have funds, but they can't do it well, so we give money to them to do trading because we think they can do it well), about 20 million yuan, which was like a dream that had all gone to waste.

He said that at that time he was standing among some high-level officials and getting some advice, and he did think about ending it all.

Thinking about it later, I really couldn't accept it. In his circle, when others had money, they had luxury cars and beautiful women and models, but he didn't enjoy anything. It shouldn't be gone like this.

After two months of confusion, he had already arrived at the Guangzhou campus. It was the beginning of 2019. Because we spent our freshman and sophomore years at the Qingyuan campus, we returned to the Guangzhou campus in our junior year.

At the beginning of 2019, he had less than 20,000 US dollars in his hand. He took 10,000 US dollars and started to trade futures contracts again. He was considered to have attained enlightenment. He traded with compound interest and made 19 times and 18 times the profit in 2 weeks, making another 180,000 US dollars.

Then he went back to the spot business. A big brother saw his ability and arranged for him to do business. He slowly accumulated experience and took on some US crude oil futures. He basically made money for the whole year of 19 years. 20 years ago, he had paid off all the money he owed to the asset management company.

At the beginning of 2020, he went to Shenzhen to develop his career. At that time, he was also in the cryptocurrency circle. He wanted to build a startup company. He used his limited resources to build a team and earned hundreds of thousands of yuan a month in just three months.

Later, the team broke up and reunited several times because of money issues. He told the team not to look at immediate benefits but to look at the long term. Unfortunately, due to problems with their concepts, they eventually fell apart. In addition, they just wanted to have fun, with young models in bars and so on, and they wanted to cross the red line to make quick money, so he left.

After experiencing several ups and downs, he was tired, and the years from 1921 to 1923 were a period of calm, and then he lived in a semi-retired state.

He traveled to many cities, including Shanghai and Shenzhen, and finally returned to his hometown, Guangzhou.

What he does now is basically related to finance, but I don’t understand anything. He is involved in stocks, domestic bulk commodities, overseas US crude oil, and US stocks.

He said that in 2017, a senior colleague of his committed suicide by jumping off a building after going bankrupt in futures trading. That year, he thought that if he lost money, he could just start over. A year later, he experienced the same thing again. That kind of huge gap, from a billionaire to heavily in debt, will break down a person's psychological defenses at once. Basically no one can withstand it.

There are many variables in the futures life, and there are green mountains and green hills everywhere.

I said: You make so much money, 90% of it must be luck, right?

He said: 99%.

I said: With so much money, would any of you just run away abroad after collecting the money?

He said: Some people would, but he wouldn't. Life is a practice. If he wanted to run away, the money in the asset management would be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, so why not live it down?

Money has to be earned in a proper way. At the same time, it is because of some of my actions that I am valued and supported by my elder brother that I have a lot of resources.

I said: You have made a lot of money, and the daily liquidity is so huge that it is indeed a string of numbers in your eyes.

He said: As long as you leave the financial market, making money in other industries will be relatively slow, and any industry is likely to be related to finance.

I said: For someone like you who has made a lot of money, it is impossible for you to go back to making small money.

He said: No, it's just like he is a second-hand landlord now, making a few hundred yuan difference from a house, and he likes it. Making a few hundred yuan a month from one house is not much, but what about 10 or 100 houses?

He now owns dozens of properties. After all, he is a native of Guangzhou and has friends to guide him, so it is just right for him to be a second-hand landlord.

He is now maintaining small money-making industries and some investments, because he wants to leave a way out for himself.

After all, you are only in your 20s. No one knows what will happen in the future. There is still a long life ahead.

The world is big and there are many things in it. If no one tells you about them, you may only live in your own little world. So, while you are young, learn more and make more money.

Some people are destined to rely on God's gift for their livelihood. Small wealth depends on hard work, and great wealth depends on fate.

I didn’t believe it before, until the past two years, when I met some people who made a lot of money for no reason. Some of them didn’t even know where the money came from. These are all real.

In fact, many times, if someone earns more money than you, it doesn’t mean that this person is necessarily more capable than you. Many times, it’s just that he chooses the right industry and keeps accumulating experience, and then he just happens to explode.

There is no shortage of hard-working people in this world, but there is a shortage of people who work hard to the end. I have seen many people born after 1995 who have earned more than a million. In fact, their abilities are very average. They just chose the right platform and the right industry, and then worked hard to dig deep into it.

There is no need to be anxious, but you must be clear-headed. The industry you are in must have prospects, and then you must work hard in it for a few years.

Listen more, watch more, and you will make progress over time. Don't just go to get off work and then sleep and play games every day.

I see some boys and girls nowadays, who are in their 20s, earn only a few thousand yuan a month, go to get off work and play games every day, and still think they are very good. In fact, they will be eliminated by the society sooner or later. If no one talks to you, you may really live in your own world forever.

The world is really big. Go out more and meet more different people, especially those who are better than you. I believe that you will make progress, and your cognition and thinking will constantly be refreshed.

Don't live the same life every day for 30 days a month. However, if the same life can bring you greater gains, that's not a bad idea.

But people need to gradually move towards higher levels.
