Today is my child’s birthday, and I suddenly realized that my child is already over 16 years old. Fortunately, I have been supported by the cryptocurrency industry that I love during the years that I have been alone with my child. The past events are just like the past, and they appear in my mind frame by frame like a movie.
More than ten years ago, I worked in a company next to my child's grandfather's house. The comfortable 5*8 job was comfortable, but the quality of life never improved. I watched my child grow up day by day, and the job that I could see the end of at a glance was not what I wanted. I wanted to change and make a comeback, but I had no good opportunities. As a family man, I didn't dare to look for them blindly, and could only dig up various information after work.
In 2014, I saw the news about the surge in Bitcoin. This was the first time I knew about this new thing. I sensed that this was an opportunity. I had just come into contact with the cryptocurrency circle and was confused about the blockchain world. I joined various cryptocurrency groups every day, eager to integrate into this new field as soon as possible. As a newcomer, I felt that the price of Bitcoin was too high and the bubble was serious (in fact, the price was only a thousand units at that time). Many domestic currencies were just starting out. It happened to be the Year of the Horse, so I chose the first product called Malaysian Coin and tried to invest 2,000K in the cryptocurrency circle. From then on, I fell in love with the cryptocurrency circle, followed the community to promote blockchain knowledge, talked about blockchain-related topics with everyone, and gradually had my own fans and team. Then I began to travel in various exchanges such as Yuanbao.com and BitEra, and every day was painful and happy.
I didn’t make much money until 2016. At that time, my relationship with my wife also had problems. We often quarreled and divorced. Reflecting on the past two or three years, I have been doing short-term operations. Basically, no product has earned more than five times. In the case of being divorced and poor, I still firmly believe that blockchain is the future. Anyway, I was so poor, how poor could I be? There are few chances in life to fight hard, so I used the only cash I had to ambush a few products that I was optimistic about for the long term.
In 2017, when my child finished the third grade of elementary school, I quit my job and took him away from this sad city, embarking on a journey back to my hometown in Taizhou to go to school. On the way, I recalled the life of the past few years and burst into tears. After returning home, I didn’t want to drag down my parents, so I lived next to my child’s school and began my life as both a father and a mother. At that time, my child was still young and I couldn’t work at ease. I didn’t want to give up the blockchain field. At this time, the coins I invested in were also rising very well. I gritted my teeth and chose to give up work and concentrate on studying the blockchain field.
Maybe it is true that if you lose something, you must gain something. I finally got a hundred times the profit of the product. During this period, I also used the previous resources to help multiple issuers to make some money. I bought the best real estate at that time. Seeing that my child was often not very happy, I changed his learning environment and transferred him to the best private school in the area so that he could live with the children every day. Slowly, he became sunny again.
Life is full of ups and downs. I finally accumulated eight-digit assets and wanted to change my battlefield. After choosing and choosing, I was still most optimistic about the blockchain industry. In the next few years, I invested in many blockchain startups in Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing, Zhengzhou and other places. During this period, I also invested in a mining farm. Later, due to the impact of policies, they all suffered heavy losses. Some of them went bankrupt, and some were demolished. The one or two that survived have never made a profit, and it is impossible to expect a return. It really applies to the old saying that you should go back to where you came from.
I want to try my best. In 2022, I borrowed more than 300W from the central bank and entered the market in batches to form diversified investments, including participating in nodes, defi portfolios, Pos mining, catching hot short-term market transactions, etc. Basically, every day except for eating and sleeping, I lie on the chopping board for research. In the past two years, the book loss was only a few hundred thousand. During the period, I couldn't sleep all night. I finally survived the most difficult time. Now the book has recovered to more than 600W. Bitcoin has passed the fourth halving on the 20th of this month. With the approval of Hong Kong's ETF this month, I believe that blockchain finance will sooner or later replace the traditional financial market. My child and I had an agreement when he was in junior high school. The day he was admitted to university was also the day I could go ashore. There are still two years. I hope my child can be admitted to a good university and we can each live the life we want.
Looking back on my ten-year career in the cryptocurrency industry, I have mixed feelings. It is said that one day in the cryptocurrency world is like one year in the real world. The falls and pits I have encountered over the years are enough to make up for the uneven road in this life. I hope that the days ahead will be smooth and safe. I am still optimistic about this industry and love this industry. It has become an inseparable part of my life.
I also wish all the people who love the cryptocurrency world all the best! $BTC $BNB $BTTC
