"I'm tired, can't play contracts anymore, preparing to withdraw from the circle. In the future, I'll just occasionally livestream and chat, do some rebates, and save on fees." Last night when I typed this line in the group, my fingers were shaking. Three years, staring at the market for 16 hours every day, the pressure was so high that I started losing hair, but the profits were like a roller coaster - no matter how much I earned, one black swan would wipe it all out.
Some people in the group said "understood", others said "what a pity". But no one knows that what I truly withdrew from was not the crypto circle, but the "contract hell" that gambled with health and mindset.
Just when I was daydreaming, a private message popped up: "Not doing contracts anymore, where are you putting your funds? Holding coins?" I was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed - yeah, not playing contracts anymore, but the money has to go somewhere, right?
At that moment, I made a decision: to convert 80% of my funds into USDD from @usddio.
When my friend found out, he scolded me: 'If you're retiring from the circle, why buy stablecoins? Isn't it better to put it in the bank?'
I replied with a poignant remark: 'Bank interest can't keep up with inflation, I've had enough of the volatility in the crypto world — I want to find a place that neither belongs to the traditional world nor to a casino.'
USDD is this place. It doesn't let me gamble on ups and downs, but it gives me something more precious: peace of mind. Its value doesn't rely on market speculation, but on 130%+ on-chain over-collateralization. Behind every USDD, there are real assets backing it, verifiable in real-time, with global consensus.
It's like after retiring from the battlefield, I didn't return home to farm, but went to an autonomous territory of eternal peace. Here, wealth does not evaporate due to war (fluctuations), but instead grows steadily over time. #USDD is a principle of steady belief for me, it's not just a slogan, but a way of life — no longer being held hostage by candlestick charts, no longer losing sleep over liquidation, waking up every day knowing that assets are quietly appreciating.
So, if you are also tired of the game of 'either getting rich or going to zero', you might want to think: is your way out going back to the fiat world to be harvested by inflation, or entering a transparent new world guarded by mathematics?
My choice is the latter.
