Six years ago, I took out 110,000 yuan I had saved up over the years and jumped into this vortex-like world.



At that time, I was a complete rookie. Browsing various posts, seeing countless "get rich quick" screenshots in the square, my mind was filled with one thought:

"Market going up is destiny; I can become a legendary trendsetter just by placing random orders."

During that period, my delusions about the crypto world were crazier than the market itself.

I firmly believed in timing, superstitiously relied on luck, and convinced myself I was a favored one — even thinking that as long as I took action, the market would surely rise for me.

But reality gave me a slap directly.

I will never forget the moment I placed my first order, still imagining the scene of doubling my money.

The only two words in the candlestick reply were — brutal.

It was not a correction; it was a cliff-like plunge.

I didn’t even dare to wipe my screen, afraid of missing any fluctuations that might rebound.

But the market was much calmer than me and simply didn’t give me any room for fantasies.

That day, I watched my account bleed on the screen:

110,000 yuan turned into 90,000, 80,000, 70,000...

Like being cut open alive, so fast that I doubted whether I had pressed the wrong button somewhere.

The most painful part wasn’t the shrinking numbers, but that I finally understood a truth —

The crypto world never runs on illusions, let alone on "feelings."

I used to think the market was a straight upward line,

Thought that entering at the right moment meant catching the wind,

Thought that as long as I went all-in, destiny would bow to me.

But one sentence from the market, "Who are you," threw me from heaven back to reality.

At that moment, I realized:

The so-called "trend followers" are not the ones posting on forums,

Nor are they the ones staring at K-line charts every day,

And definitely not those who get in just after hearing a couple of motivational quotes.

Now I have come out of it.

What about you?

Ask yourself — do you want to be the one cut by the market for a lifetime, or do you want to be the final winner?

110,000 to go all in at once—this kind of courage I truly admire. But to be honest, who still believes in the old "cutting leeks" strategy nowadays? The key still depends on whether you truly understand the market.

110,000 directly evaporated, I knew this guy was telling the truth, not one of those fake inspirational chicken soup articles.

To be honest, this story sounds a bit familiar... Cutting 110,000 yuan in half directly is indeed ruthless. But I feel the latter part has a bit of a motivational tone, like "the ultimate winner"... Does anyone really make it big in the crypto world just by "patience"?

The feeling of losing 110,000 yuan in vain, really few people can understand... To be honest, the remaining clueless investors who are still sleepwalking can't finish reading this article.

110,000 yuan overnight back to where it was, this is the first lesson the crypto world has taught me.

That really hits home. I understand the feeling of losing 110,000 yuan outright. I truly thought I was destined for greatness back then, haha.
