I see a lot of people asking in the comments how I managed to bounce back later. I don't want to lie about some bullshit value investing or trading skills. The money made from crypto trading isn't really income; it's gambling. Professional gamblers can succeed, but many sacrifices are made along the way, and it's very hard to do. Value investing requires capital, and during the capital accumulation phase, having an income is the most important. I believe the core is to never leave the circle; this circle has many opportunities to get rich quickly and is close to the money. So I first continued working a regular job to earn a salary, while also running a Twitter account to accumulate followers and keep up with new things. On Twitter, you can take advertising, and ads count as income. But relying on ads alone, you can't get rich quickly; at best, you can maintain a basic living or a bit more. Using this income to cover living expenses, I then engaged in activities like farming inscriptions, claiming airdrops, swing trading, and opening contracts. Actually, the most profitable was swing trading, but I don't think my gradual rise was because of swing trading; essentially, I relied on being a KOL and taking advertising deals. Although the money isn't much, it is capital. This approach might not suit everyone because many people aren't interested in tweeting. But having some income is necessary. If you don't want to be a KOL, you can work a job, deliver food, run a snack shop, start a company—anything that can help accumulate capital. I'm the kind of person who likes to brag, so I'm suited for Twitter; even if I don't make money, I'm willing to post. Doing something you’re willing to do even if it doesn’t make money helps you persist.

In 2021, I was 28 years old, and I earned 10 million. I was proud and complacent. I heard a saying: There are two great disasters in life: youthful success and sudden windfalls. I was puzzled—how could such great fortune be a disaster? Some even use this saying to show off or humblebrag. But in the following six years, I followed the crypto world every day and saw many people go from overnight riches to unpayable debts, from being the darlings everyone chased after to being despised like stinky dog poop. Including myself, I lost the 10 million and ended up 300,000 in debt. Looking back now, it really was a disaster. When life takes off suddenly without much experience, you think it’s your own strength, that it’s deserved, that it’s the big trend of your life, that you’re exceptionally capable. But you don’t realize you’re actually the pin being attacked by a sandwich.
