That was my brother's wedding in 2022. In the groomsmen's room, the smell of alcohol was thick. He smiled wryly and clinked glasses: "31 years old, still relying on parents to get married." I downed a drink, my throat burning, and felt a weight on my heart.
That night, I went home and stared at the screen displaying $SOL , as it plummeted from 109U to 89U. A voice buzzed in my head: "Take a risk, rebound and get out!" I felt possessed and bet all of my savings of 90,000 yuan.
At first, it really pulled back from 80U to 95U. I watched the floating profit numbers jump continuously, my heartbeat quickening in sync. I didn't take profits, fantasizing about breaking 100, dreaming of doubling my money. But three days later, SOL plummeted to 40U. When the liquidation warning popped up, my hands shook so much that I couldn’t close the page—my account had only 200U left.
That was the longest night of my life. I didn’t shed any tears, but the string in my heart snapped with a loud crack.
Later, I understood that the crypto world is not a casino; it’s a trial of mentality. Not taking profits and losses is like using your life to pay tuition. That 90,000 yuan bought me the most painful yet valuable lesson: to live is to have the qualification for a comeback.
Now my account has grown dozens of times, but every time I place an order, I remember that balance of 200U. It’s like a thorn, pricking me in the second before my every impulse.
Brother, if you are also struggling in this market, remember this: the market can come back, but if you lose your capital, you really have nothing left. The first rule in the crypto world is not how much you earn, but to survive first.
If you want to change and are truly fed up with being cut—
There are not many spots in the team, but I only take those who can execute and aren’t stubborn. @luck萧
The answer is not elsewhere; it’s in your actions.
