寻找两百个不同的币安人生

#寻找两百个不同的币安人生
Compared to the many KOLs/traders/sharers on Twitter who share their experiences and activities, I am more like a representation of retail investors. Last year, I was confused when a friend called me to download Binance. I registered on Twitter and, during my first time browsing Twitter and the Binance Square, I didn't know any coins or the so-called prices. However, I saw people posting their profit charts on Twitter. At first, I thought it was in RMB and wondered how everyone could earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB in a day. After asking a friend, I learned they were actually earning in USD. It was then that I thought, can I also earn so much? So I started to learn about memes and contracts, but I didn't have the perseverance to keep watching the markets. Halfway through learning, I would imagine the upcoming trends in my mind. After predicting a few times correctly, I thought about investing some money to play. But when I actually got into it, I found the market wouldn't move as I envisioned. The first time I played, I used 100 U. As I watched the K-line initially move according to my expectations after buying, my mood improved. But when it retraced and started to fall, there was always a voice in my head telling me to hold on; it would be okay, this is just temporary. Because I was new, I didn't understand and was using the default twenty times leverage. It indeed was a temporary drop, but this temporary decline was enough to wipe out all my positions. After the liquidation, the market started to rise rapidly, and that feeling made me excited at that time. So I switched to the meme battlefield, but I didn't have that much patience to watch the markets. The first time I bought meme was when CZ sent out the cauliflower. At that time, I saw group friends buying casually and making money, and I thought, why can't I earn this money? So I quickly deposited 2000 U, starting to fantasize about making a hundred or thousand times upon my first purchase, achieving freedom directly. That day, I bought four internal trades. Perhaps it was just not meant for me to play such a fast-paced game; all four internal trades went down the drain. That was the first time I witnessed the power of meme coins. Consequently, the frequency of my trades began to decrease, and I started to learn. However, the market would not move according to what I had learned; it gradually turned into a game of the market. When Trump tweeted or spoke, countless people's wealth would slip away. After realizing this, I began to lose confidence in coins and slowly stopped paying attention to this market. But in May, Binance's Alpha was launched, and friends started urging me to play. By June, I moved from one account to getting my friends and partner to register. From June until now, these three accounts have really changed my life and worldview significantly. When everyone else was leaving their jobs, I chose to believe once more, just like when I first started learning and persevered. The third time was a charm; this Alpha did not let me down. When I saw that after playing for nearly half a year, the funds on each account were between 3500-4000 U, my mindset changed a lot. From initially not believing in any coin to later researching project backgrounds, liquidity, etc., I began to see many coins transitioning from internal trades to alpha. I regained confidence in memes. During these three months, I held many memes. Although I didn't sell at the peak and wasn't among the earliest builders, at least I started making profits. This Binance journey also began with buying at 0.2 during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the current price has dropped a bit, my expectations for it are not just as a meme coin. Its significance in the crypto space is enormous. Everyone thinks the current price is too inflated, but it's just a market issue. It should truly be in a position of spot trading. The first Chinese meme to break out of the circle has enough significance for me to believe in it. What is now is just a starting point, just like my own life. I have to believe in it and support it; there will always be a rainbow after the rain.

I am a programmer. I entered the crypto world in 2019, and at that time, introduced by a classmate, I invested in a project, spending nearly 6000 yuan to buy 5 ETH. A few days after depositing, the funds were stolen and the project ran away, which I consider as my tuition fee for getting started. Later, I learned about exchanges, wallets, private keys, mnemonic phrases, and other professional terms.

After experiencing the sharp declines of 312 and 519, I realized how severe the downturns in the crypto world can be. However, each time after a major crash, mainstream coins tend to recover in price or even surpass previous highs. For example, BTC, which is also the main reason why I only buy spot and don't touch contracts. At that time, I also bought some BTC, but later sold it, unable to hold on. Now I have a handful of altcoins, and after going through two bull markets, I know that only a few of the mainstream coins can be held for the long term.

In 2020, I entered the market naively, swept up by the 'Bitcoin surge.' At that time, the 'crypto world' was just a vague concept to me, a place where I could hear the mythical stories of people around me making money. Without hesitation, I downloaded Binance—just because I heard it was 'the largest and safest.' My story began here.
In the first year, my world only had spot trading. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the platform's BNB became all of my assets. The strategy back then was simple to the point of being naive: I was elated when prices rose and would 'play dead' when they fell—firmly believing that as long as I didn't sell, the losses wouldn't catch up to me. With spare cash, I made some small trades and earned a bit of pocket money, even developing a slight illusion of being a 'chosen one.'

When people talk about 'Binance life', what most people might think of is wealth, opportunities, or even the story of becoming famous overnight.
But for me, 'Binance life' has never just been about the ups and downs of numbers; it's the story of my growth in the crypto world.
From curiosity to faith
The first time I heard about Binance was in 2018. At that time, I knew almost nothing about blockchain, only that 'Bitcoin was rising sharply.' While interning at a crypto media outlet, a colleague told me, 'You should try Binance; it's easy to use and trades are fast.'
Out of curiosity, I registered an account. I even received an airdrop of 0.5 BNB during an event — at that time it was worth only ten dollars, but now it has exceeded 500 dollars, rising 50 times over seven years.

I am an ordinary sophomore student. In fact, it has only been a few months since I truly began to understand and engage with Binance, but my life has undergone a tremendous change. My college life has welcomed a different turning point because of Binance.
As a college student, the limited living expenses are always insufficient to satisfy my desire to travel more and see the world, as well as to experience concerts and music festivals. Therefore, like other classmates when I first entered college, I kept looking for various part-time jobs to earn some pocket money. At first, I chose to tutor, but my weekly free time was fully booked, and even the rare weekends were not free, as I had to go to different students' homes for classes. A lot of time and money were spent on the road, and preparing lessons consumed a significant amount of my energy. In such circumstances, I sometimes might not be understood by parents and students, and I encountered many problems that required effort to discuss and resolve. However, the meager income forced me to drag my tired body to persist time and again, but my longing for a free and leisurely life made me silently determined to no longer do such exhausting work when I am capable in the future.

My 'Binance Life'
What is an ideal life? Is it sticking to a stable life without change, or is it chasing endless material wealth? In my heart, the beautiful 'Binance Life' provides an answer full of the spirit of the times: it is a grand journey exploring freedom and building a future together in the starry sea of blockchain, relying on wisdom, courage, and faith.
First of all, the 'Binance Life' in my heart is an expedition to win freedom of time and space. Its core lies in breaking the traditional shackles of 'exchanging time for money' by participating in the global digital economy, allowing assets to achieve intelligent growth around the clock. Whether investing after in-depth research on project value or flexibly using tools like DeFi for asset allocation, wealth accumulation becomes a natural result of our cognitive improvement. Thus, we gain absolute power to choose our lifestyle—whether processing global assets in a café in Chiang Mai or voting in the community under the aurora in Iceland. This freedom liberates us from geographical and temporal constraints, allowing us to truly become the masters of our own lives.
