In 2025, Xi'an, the summer heat waves softened the asphalt roads. I was dressed in the stifling delivery uniform, rushing between office buildings and urban villages. As a graduate of an ordinary university, I once thought I would sit in a shiny office, but reality gave me a sharp slap in the face—hundreds of resumes sent out disappeared without a trace, either for poorly paid sales positions or for scam companies that didn't sign contracts. In the end, I could only rely on delivering food to make a living, crammed into a rented room in an urban village, unable to sleep all night due to the noise outside and anxiety about the future.
Change happened on an ordinary Thursday evening. After finishing my last order, I slumped onto the hard bed in my rental room, scrolling through Moments when a post suddenly caught my eye: 'Binance newcomers report, share 300 meat!' The accompanying picture was a screenshot of the Binance app, and that string of numbers was like a stone, creating ripples in the long-dormant lake of my heart.
“300 yuan,” almost the income I make from delivering 20 orders in a day, while he was just “testing the waters.” I felt both itchy and suspicious; I had only heard of terms like blockchain and cryptocurrency in the news before, always thinking it was a 'speculative game' far removed from me. But that night, I unexpectedly didn't feel anxious enough to lose sleep, and my mind was filled with that 300 yuan profit and the words 'Binance.'
In the next two or three days, I was like an elder who had just come into contact with the internet, frantically searching online for 'What is Binance?' 'How can ordinary people use Binance to make money?' From the basic concepts of blockchain to the operation process of exchanges, I explored bit by bit, checking materials for terms I didn't understand and watching tutorials for steps I couldn't figure out. Looking back now, that two or three days of exploration felt like searching for a door to a new world in the dark; every time I understood a knowledge point, I felt one step closer to that door.
Finally, I gathered the courage to download the Binance app. When I registered my account, my hands were still shaking as if I were doing something earth-shattering.
When I first entered the world of Binance, I felt like a curious and cautious Liu Laolao who had barged into the Grand View Garden. I didn't dare to trade blindly, first going through the articles in the Binance Academy. The terms that I once found obscure, such as 'decentralization' and 'smart contracts,' suddenly became clear when explained with simple examples. Only then did I realize how deep my previous prejudices about blockchain were; it is far more than just 'speculating on coins.' It is an ecosystem full of innovation and opportunities.
In April, while I was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, an unexpected joy fell from the sky—I received my first Alpha airdrop in my life. When I saw the Binance app notifying me that I had gained a digital asset, I could hardly believe my eyes. I confirmed several times before I was sure this was not an illusion.
Although this airdrop was not large, it was like a key that completely opened my desire to explore the Binance ecosystem. I began to actively follow various activities of Binance and study the mechanisms of different projects. Before long, the second, third... countless Alpha airdrops came one after another. Every time I received an airdrop, I felt like a child receiving candy; that feeling of gaining rewards through cognition and participation was completely incomparable to the commissions I received from delivering food.
I am no longer that delivery person who only knew how to mechanically run orders. During the gaps in delivering food, I would take out my phone to browse posts on Binance Square, communicating insights with blockchain enthusiasts around the world; during the minutes waiting for orders, I would open Binance Square's live broadcast to learn new blockchain knowledge and discuss with friends in the square. Binance has become my classroom for upgrading my understanding, allowing me to touch the forefront of industry dynamics even in the busy intervals.
As I deepened my understanding of the Binance ecosystem, I no longer satisfied myself with small airdrops and trades. I saw the opportunities for new listings on Binance, and the potential of those high-quality projects excited me immensely. But at that time, most of my savings had been used to maintain my living expenses, and after hesitating for several days, I finally gathered the courage to borrow some money from a few close friends and went all in on a new listing. At that time, the price of BNB for the new listing was over 600 dollars, which was quite high for me, borrowing money all around, and in the end, I put in 2 BNB.
Looking back now, that was indeed an adventure, but Binance's project review mechanism and the groundwork I had done gave me enough confidence. During those days of new listings, I was in a state of both nervousness and excitement every day, and I couldn't help but hum a song while delivering food. The results did not disappoint me; the profits from that new listing not only allowed me to pay off my debts but also saved up my first 'blockchain wealth.' Although I could sell at the peak or hit the lowest point every time, I am still very grateful to Binance for the opportunities it gave me.
With successful experience, I began to plan my assets more rationally. I divided the money earned from delivering food and Binance into several parts: one part for living expenses, one part to participate in various ecosystem projects on Binance, and another part to invest in potential tokens like $XPL.
I clearly remember the scene when I deposited XPL; that day I had just delivered an order on a rainy day, soaked to the bone but excited, because I completed the XPL deposit on Binance. Later, Binance officially unlocked the deposit rewards early, and I watched the price of $XPL rise all the way. The thrill of wealth growth was something I never dared to imagine before. I also got into Binance's life tokens, watching it double again and again. I truly felt that my life was also soaring alongside these numbers.
What Binance has given me is far more than just growth in wealth. It transformed me from a delivery person suffocated by life into a blockchain participant filled with hope for the future.
In the past, I thought my life was predictable, just continuously delivering food, saving money, and repaying debts. But now, I have a clear career plan. I also moved out of the urban village and into a better neighborhood. Although I am still sharing a room, that sense of safety and comfort is something I never dared to imagine before. I began to have time to cultivate my hobbies, bought the photography equipment I had always wanted to learn, and on weekends, I would go to various scenic spots in Xi'an to take photos, recording my transformed life.
I often wonder, if it weren't for that dynamic in my Moments that day, and this platform called Binance, what would I be like now? Probably still anxious about my monthly rent, still lost under the dim lights of the urban village. Binance is like a beam of light that illuminates my previously dark life path.
Thanks to Binance, thanks to the Alpha opportunities, a former delivery person like me can also ride the waves of the blockchain. It made me realize that the possibilities in life are never fixed; as long as you dare to break the boundaries of perception and bravely seize the opportunities of the times, you will certainly carve out a piece of territory that belongs to you.
Now, I still deliver food, but that is just a part of my life. Another part has long turned towards the blockchain world, towards the Binance ecosystem. I know there are countless Alpha opportunities waiting for me here, and countless possibilities waiting for me to explore.
In the future, I will continue to delve deeply into the world of Binance, using my experiences to tell more ordinary people like me: do not be bound by the difficulties in front of you; platforms like Binance are opening a door to wealth and freedom for us. As long as you're willing to take that step, a beautiful life is just around the corner.$币安人生 $BNB #寻找两百个不同的币安人生
