The first time I came into contact with Bitcoin was in 2011. A classmate of mine mysteriously told me that he saw something called Bitcoin on the Internet. You can get it by running a program on your computer, and then he ran away with his laptop. stand up. I calculated the mining efficiency at that time, laughed at him secretly in my heart, and didn't take it to heart.
Two years have passed, and I keep seeing Bitcoin news on the news. When I look at the price, it’s more than 3,000 yuan! I broke my thigh, so I negotiated with another classmate and jointly bought 3 Bitcoins. As a new Leek, chasing the rise and killing the fall is the basic operation. Fortunately, I did not suffer much losses along the way.
In 2014, I noticed Litecoin and learned about Litecoin-related information: the total issuance is 4 times that of Bitcoin, and the transaction efficiency is higher than Bitcoin... and there was widespread talk of "Bitcoin Gold Lite Silver" at that time. I I thought, maybe the price of Litecoin could become a quarter of that of Bitcoin in the future, so I exchanged the 3 Bitcoins in my hand for more than 100 Litecoins. Some time passed, and Litecoin fell to more than 30 amidst repeated bad news. I exchanged the Litecoin back to RMB amidst the questioning of my classmates, and gave it all to him.
When the time came in 2015, a client of my father’s business asked me many questions about Bitcoin. Because I majored in computer science, I often helped her solve computer problems, so she trusted me more. She held 1,000 Bitcoins in her hand at the time, but with the constant bad news, she didn't know what to do. So I patiently explained to her the principles of blockchain and what a 50% attack is, and gave her a conclusion: If you are not optimistic about Bitcoin, it will return to zero sooner or later! It is best to sell all 1,000 Bitcoins. I also taught her how to borrow coins on OK and go short. At that time, she said to me gratefully: “It turns out you can still make money in this way.”
Three more years later, Bitcoin once again became a hot search topic. My classmate looked at the price of Bitcoin and said to me with a smile: "You successfully killed a billionaire." But my dad's clients did not blame me. He said that even if he didn't sell it at the time, he still wouldn't be able to hold it. Then she heard about Ethereum from a friend and wanted me to research it. I was already disillusioned with the cryptocurrency community, so I just told her that Ethereum is an imitator of Bitcoin and has no value like Litecoin...
It was August 2021 when I started paying attention to the currency circle again. My classmate told me that another classmate who insisted on Bitcoin back then had already made money and took him to mine Ethereum. He asked me if I was interested. I hesitated... After another two months, I read the Ethereum white paper carefully, and got on the bus in October 2021. At this time, the price of Ethereum was 3000U. And when the price of Ethereum reached 4800U, I thought it would rise again... What happened next, as everyone expected, I was trapped. However, this time I have a zeroing mentality: as long as I don’t sell it, you can’t even think of cutting my leeks. So, I have been holding on to Ethereum and persisting until today...
坚持持有or解套离场？我又面临了一个选择……
