#寻找两百个不同的币安人生

In 2019, I first stepped into the cryptocurrency world, and the first exchange I registered with was Binance.

At that time, I was full of fantasies about the future—blockchain, Bitcoin, freedom, wealth, everything was shining.

I firmly believed that this world belongs to those who dare to take risks.

Later, I realized that the ocean of wealth is never gentle.

I personally witnessed the waterfall markets on 3·12, 5·19, and 10·11,

watching the numbers in my account evaporate overnight, as if someone was mocking my naivety.

I experienced brief wealth and also complete liquidation.

That kind of heartbeat, that kind of fear, only those who have experienced it can understand.

Binance became my diary.

It recorded every moment of my journey from passion to numbness, from hope to collapse.

Trading was no longer a game of making money, but a repeated questioning of human nature.

I tried heavy positions, averaging down, and holding on, also staying up all night watching the market until my eyes were bloodshot.

In the end, unemployment, debt, family conflicts erupted, and everything fell like a domino.

At that moment, I almost lost faith in life.

But people often only see clearly after a collapse.

When I calmed down, I found that I didn’t really love speculation,

but rather craved to control my destiny.

So I chose to start over—

putting down the trading charts, picking up the keyboard again, learning Rust while taking care of my child, to understand the real rules of this world from the ground up.

Speaking of my child, I am very lucky to have a nearly three-year-old girl; she is very cute, very lively, and she is the only light in my life.

If Binance witnessed my fall,

then it also witnessed my awakening.

Life with Binance is not just about the rise and fall of money,

but also a practice about faith, self, and rebirth.

I was lost in the market, and now I need to rebuild in the code.

Falling is not scary; what matters is,

I am still here—

I am still willing to start over.
