Life is like a gamble. Not gambling is actually betting on yourself to lose. I have a very trusted friend who entered the crypto space in 2012. He only likes trading coins, and every time he trades, he goes all-in. This guy is truly a legend. In 2022, he was the first in the Chinese community to buy BONK (when its market cap was 30,000 RMB, later rising to 16 million). 1⃣ Last September, he hit rock bottom again. During tough times, he couldn't even pay off his credit card. I transferred him 100 RMB several times to buy cigarettes. He told me not to send too much because if I did, he would use it to continue gambling. It was really tragic, truly tragic. 2⃣ Last October, HBO released a documentary revealing Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. He bet it was SASHA Cat, invested 500 USD, and made 100x returns. From that day, he started his comeback journey, going all-in on SUI's AAA and SOL's Kiki, eventually earning $1.4 million. I advised him to cash out, but he refused, saying he had to keep going all-in. He said he would stop once he made $3 million, as he could live a happy life in a small city with that amount. As you might guess, within less than two months, the $1.4 million was completely lost, including the $70,000 airdrop from Magiceden. 🔸 This guy makes money rapidly during every mini bull market, starting with just $200 and earning a fortune. But as soon as the market starts to decline, without exception, he loses everything again. It all feels like a dream. 3⃣ This April, he invested in Ghibli with an $80,000 market cap. The next day, it skyrocketed to $16 million, earning him 200x returns. He finally paid off his loans and credit card debt, leaving a small amount in the market to continue gambling. 🍀 I played with him on SOL's first token conversion, peanuts, my avatar Froganas (he bought 400 below $10), GUAC, and more. He truly has exceptional personal skills, almost always entering at the lowest market cap. This brother has been chasing the dream of getting rich through trading coins. Every time the dream seems to become reality, it gets ruthlessly shattered. This dream has lasted for 13 years. 🎄 Thank you, friends, for reading my lengthy ramblings. I deeply admire this brother's talent for finding alpha opportunities. It's something you can't learn. Whenever there's a chance to turn things around, he makes money incredibly fast, but he always loses it all, without exception. ✅ After much thought, I believe this is a personality flaw. Like me, he comes from an ordinary family and has never managed money since childhood. He can't handle funds and always dreams of making a big move to change his fate, which leads to repeated failures. Old habits die hard. If we don't change the personality flaws formed since childhood, our life's journey will likely remain stuck in this vicious cycle. 🎢 Making money → Losing it all → Making money → Losing it all again. ✅ Today, I discussed with my wife that if I make money in the future, I will transfer it monthly to the family's hardware wallet. Each month, 30% will be used for household expenses, 50% will be saved in stablecoins to seize big opportunities during Bitcoin bear markets, and 20% will be reinvested in airdrop hunting. A couple is a life partnership. The family must take a steady path, controlling personality flaws to achieve a better life. Thanks to Brother Xian Er and Meta Ape for helping me reflect on my personality weaknesses during this time. We are all ordinary people. For the family, let's move forward steadily. Brothers, let's work hard together!
