In the summer of 2017, I worked as a network administrator in a county internet cafe with a monthly salary of 2200. One night, a regular customer who often rented a room asked me to help him register for a Binance account. Seeing his account balance in six figures, I secretly noted down this website.
I spent half a month's salary to buy 0.01 Bitcoin, and that night I stared at the K-line until dawn, more seriously than watching surveillance.
In 2018, I heard that making money through contracts was fast. I used 3000 yuan to open 5x leverage, and within 20 minutes I was liquidated. When I walked out of the internet cafe to buy cigarettes, my hands shook so much that I couldn't even press the lighter.
The boss lady saw that my expression was not right and gave me a bowl of instant noodles. That was the bitterest instant noodles I've ever eaten, the soup was filled with the salty taste of tears.
In the 2019 bear market, the internet café business was bleak. I started learning spot trading on Binance, dividing my internet fee income into three parts:
50% regular investment in BNB
30% buy BTC
20% trying altcoins
During the poorest times, I ate steamed buns with Lao Gan Ma for a month straight, just to save money to increase my investment.
In 2020, during the DeFi boom, several altcoins I bought haphazardly in the early days suddenly soared. After selling them, I not only paid off my online loans but also built a new house for my family.
My father complimented me for the first time: "I didn't expect you to actually make a name for yourself playing on the computer."
Current life
Opened a computer repair shop in the provincial capital.
There is a Binance K-line chart hanging on the wall in the store.
Taught more than ten young people in the village to invest using Binance.
Every month, I would transfer 2000 yuan to the boss lady who gave me instant noodles back in the day.
Last week I went back to the county town and found that the internet café had closed down. Standing under the empty sign, I suddenly felt very grateful to the customer who got me to register with Binance.
