From 2016 to 2025, I have been in the crypto world for nine years: I didn't get to make a fortune, but I have personally experienced significant losses.

In 2016, I first heard about Bitcoin, which was over 3000 RMB per coin. At that time, the crypto world was still like an underground world, wild, fierce, and chaotic, yet I was deeply attracted to it.

I am not among the first batch of people to get rich, nor am I a big shot from a technical background, and I certainly am not a KOL who can tell stories. I am just an ordinary person, driven by the determination of "having missed Taobao, I cannot miss blockchain again," and I dived right in.

What is the result?

In the first year, pay tuition; in the second year, continue to pay; in the third year, learn how to gracefully lose money.

In the bull market of 2017, I got in, but I only dared to buy the coins that "everyone said were stable". As a result, the ones that skyrocketed were those I didn't dare to invest in, and the ones that plummeted were the ones I held onto.
In the bear market of 2018, cutting losses, going to zero, closing accounts, the crypto world had become hell. Many people exited the market, and I almost deleted my wallet and ran away.

But I didn't leave.

Even at the lowest point, I still believe that this industry has a future.

In 2019-2020, I started learning about fundamentals, researching projects, looking at protocols, and joining communities... as a result, I became even more anxious: there was too much information, with truth and falsehood intertwined, everyone seemed like a KOL, and every project looked like a scam.

The real turning point was when I joined some communities.

At first, I just wanted to find someone to "comfort each other," but later I found out:

The community is the most authentic place in this industry.
The price of coins can deceive you, but whether a community can last is clear at a glance.
A group of people who genuinely want to get things done has a completely different vibe than a group of people who only want to exploit others.

So I started writing things, sharing insights, volunteering for projects, managing groups, and writing weekly reports.
I found that even if the coin price doesn't rise, I have started to become valuable.

The community is not perfect; I have also experienced bumps, being kicked, being scolded, and being met with cold eyes. But I grew within it, found a sense of existence and connection, and most importantly, found direction.

It is now 2025, and I have been in the crypto world for exactly nine years.

I am not a legendary figure, nor have I traded my way to financial freedom, but I have survived, and I live more clearly than before.

I know when to get in and when to wait for the narrative.
I can determine whether a project has a soul, whether the KOL talks about logic or persona.
I understand better: the crypto world is not about luck, but about whether you can persist in doing the right things and walking with the right people.

If you ask me, what is the most worthwhile in the crypto world?

I would say: it's not about making a few bucks, but the courage to still believe in oneself and in the future after experiencing liquidation, zeroing out, and despair time and again.
