#数字资产市场洞察 To be honest, many people would doubt this story after hearing it.
Eight years ago, I was 37 years old, a stay-at-home dad in Shenzhen, holding my child in one hand and clutching 110,000 yuan in the other, forcefully pushing myself into the cryptocurrency world.
Saying that dreams are too cheap is actually forced. Mortgage, baby formula money, and those invisible future pressures are all urging me to find a breakthrough.
My wife used to say the most: "Why don't you just stop messing around and work steadily?"
I can't refute her.
At the company from nine in the morning to six in the evening, and when I get home, I still have to coax the child to sleep. Only when the kid's eyes are completely closed can I secretly open my phone to check the candlestick chart.
No one teaches, and no one leads.
It completely relies on oneself to grind through — repeatedly looking at each candlestick, recording every trade. I've experienced losses that should have been lost and missed opportunities that were meant to be missed. It's common to be "educated" by the market repeatedly.
I have compiled three notebooks, all filled with reviews. Why I entered the market, why I exited, which trades survived by luck, and which trades were merely fortunate guesses - all written out clearly.
Slowly, I came to realize a principle – the focus is not on how to earn quickly, but on how to live long enough.
So I changed my strategy: no heavy positions, no craziness for hot spots, and staying empty until I understand the market trend. While others chase the trends, I just stick to the rhythm I can understand.
The account's curve doesn't look that exciting, but it just keeps going up.
Now, eight years later, I no longer have to stay up all night staring at the screen. Shenzhen has two more shops available for rent, and the monthly rental income far exceeds the salary I used to earn when I worked. The numbers in my account are also gradually approaching a scale I wouldn't have dared to dream of eight years ago.
The most precious thing is not these numbers, but that sense of stability — no longer living by gambling, and not being kept awake at night by a negative line.
Looking back on this journey, the reason I am where I am today is not due to any insider information or talent. It is simply the accumulation of experiences of getting up from falls, admitting defeat, adjusting, and starting over time and again.

To be honest, I believe this story, but it's really heartbreaking. Turning 110,000 yuan of principal into this in 8 years, the harshest part isn't making money, but that patience. I'm still chasing hot topics now, watching others stick to their own understandable rhythm, and suddenly I feel a bit greedy.

It sounds nice, but there are really not many people who dare to enter the venue with 110,000 yuan, and I was beaten to death by my wife long ago

Bro, this story sounds intense, but the key is still that mindset of "living long enough." Too many people get caught up in chasing excitement.

Honestly, I've heard this set of arguments too many times, but sticking to not over-leveraging is indeed very reasonable.
---
It took 8 years to achieve this, and it doesn't feel that dreamy; rather, that patience is valuable.
---
The most outrageous thing is what my wife said. Now you should believe it, haha.
---
Three notebooks are indeed better than 90% of retail investors, but there's also an element of luck, I won't deny.
---
The account curve that keeps going up is the most deceptive. What about the drawdowns? Why not mention them?
---
Renting out two shops in Shenzhen is the ultimate winning posture; whether or not you hold coins is secondary.
---
Admitting defeat, adjusting, and starting over—it's easy to say, but how tough is the mental preparation when actually doing it?

Hmm... I've finished reading it, this guy really has something. But what I want to ask the most is - are those three notebooks still around?

lol the classic "survived 8 years without insider info" narrative... sure, and i predicted luna's collapse just by staring at candles hard enough. survival bias is one hell of a drug tho, ngl

In simple terms, it's just about having the right bet, but insisting on packaging it as "discipline" and "review" is a typical case of survivor bias.

It sounds very inspirational, but the real probabilities are there; those who have survived until now are all survivors' bias.

This story told by my brother is true, but what I believe more are those three notebooks... Most people actually die because of the word "urgent."

This story sounds good, but I don't believe it when they say there's no element of luck involved... Holding long-term can indeed help you survive longer, but that initial 110,000 was really bold.
