Start to learn about major software, wallets, and other apps
Losing less than 10,000 above was just the beginning of my deep involvement in the crypto industry below.
I disappeared for a while. I started to learn about major software, wallets, social media, and other apps.
It's not that I've quit the crypto world,
it's that I've been a bit scared.
After those losses,
I dared not click on exchanges anymore; in just 2-3 days, I had already lost around 10,000.
Whenever I see price fluctuations on my phone,
my heart tightens.
But people have a flaw.
As long as they haven't given up, they will definitely come back.
During that time, I started to take it 'seriously'.
Study the wallet.
Install plugins.
Register various social media.
Telegram, Twitter, Discord,
not a single one left out.
I learned for the first time what on-chain tokens are.
I learned for the first time that not all coins
are on exchanges.
I also learned for the first time—
that ordinary people can also buy coins in advance.
I told myself:
"This time, I won't mess around."
"I am ready."
After more than a month, I recharged 4000 yuan.
This is my second time charging into this circle, possibly my only stroke of luck after being here for so long, where I encountered a bull market, but I didn't hold onto the money.
I divided the money into two parts.
2000 yuan bought a shitcoin.
I no longer want to mention the name.
I only remember that at the time, the group said:
"Just released, low market cap,
Buy and hold."
In those few days, I didn't dare to look.
It's not calm,
it's fear.
Until one day,
I opened my wallet.
In that moment, I thought I was seeing things.
More than 200,000.
I refreshed repeatedly.
Screenshot.
Refresh again.
The numbers hadn't changed.
I was completely dazed.
It's not ecstasy.
My mind was completely blank.
That was my life,
For the first time in the crypto world
I truly made money.
I began to believe one thing.
"It turns out my previous losses,
it's not that I can't do it."
"It's that I didn't step on the right rhythm."
It was also from this moment on,
I was completely dragged into the abyss.
Because I began to form a set of
extremely dangerous cognitions:
"The local dog can make me rich."
"It won't run away."
"If it can be bought, it can definitely be sold."
"Going to zero is just a rare occurrence."
I even felt that those who got liquidated or ran away,
were just not able to play.
If I hadn't sold that 2000 yuan so early.
My first wish for entering the crypto world may have already been fulfilled back then.
2 million.
it's not an illusion; it’s real numbers right in front of me.
Later I found out that it wasn't luck.
That was the bull market of 2021, the craziest time in the entire crypto market.
I had only been in the circle for a few months when I encountered something I should never have met in my life.
—a bull market that was completely out of control.
Pigcoin, Shiba Inu, Akita Inu.
The names are increasingly absurd, and the trends are increasingly abnormal.
Buy at night, wake up in the morning.
The account suddenly had a few more zeros.
That isn't making money.
That is a kind of unreasonable reward.
I started to be afraid for the first time.
I began to realize a problem:
What exactly is this place?
Gambling losses require staying up late.
Here, you can win money just by sleeping.
I sat in front of the computer, watching the fluctuating K-line,
For the first time, a thought popped into my mind—
"If making money is so easy, was my life before this all wrong?"
From that moment on,
I am no longer the person who came to "try it out."
I began to believe:
I can get rich here.
