"Standing at the Wind's Edge, Even Pigs Can Fly"

Today it has come true.

In the early hours of December 3rd, Bitcoin surged sharply from a low of $84,000, soaring 9.5% in a single day to surpass the $92,000 mark,

Old Zhang's initial investment of $20,000 made over $4,000 in profit in just one day.

Old Zhang drives for Didi and recently complained in his friend circle, saying he lost half a year's worth of fuel money trading altcoins last year.

I remember reminding him at the end of November that the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations soared from 35% to 89.2%, and Texas had just passed a Bitcoin reserve bill; this windfall must be closely monitored.

He was half-convinced, and on December 1st, he bit the bullet and invested $20,000, building his position at $85,000 as I suggested, while also setting a stop-loss at $82,000.

The night before last, after the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes were released, he messaged me at 2 AM saying he was "panicking"; the screenshot showed Bitcoin had briefly dropped to $83,000, and he wanted to cut his losses.

I had him look at the data: a 24-hour trading volume of $197.6 billion, institutional funds pouring into the BlackRock ETF, and the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade about to take effect—this was just short-term volatility.

The turning point came on the morning of the 3rd when Bitcoin suddenly surged in volume, breaking through $90,000 in just half an hour.

Old Zhang sent a voice message, trembling, saying the platform indicated a global cryptocurrency liquidation of $387 million, all shorts being liquidated.

I told him to keep an eye on the resistance level at $92,000; after the price stabilized around noon, he reduced his position by half as planned.

In the afternoon, he sent me a screenshot showing that he made $4,200 from the portion he liquidated, enough for the down payment on his long-desired Tesla.

He said he had always thought the crypto world was a scam, but now he understands that "the windfall" isn’t just random speculation; it’s about observing the Federal Reserve's policies and institutional trends—real signals.

As of 22:00 on December 4th, Bitcoin was still fluctuating around $92,000, the Fear and Greed Index was still at 20, but Old Zhang felt much more secure.

This wave of profit isn’t just luck, just like he said: "Following the wind, even a rookie like me can get a taste of the soup." @bit冰
