What should I invest in to achieve a tenfold return? There must be an answer, but I have to ask. I asked Liu, and Liu said it was easy, buy XXX, XXX, XX... and it will work! I asked him how much he bought, and Liu said he hadn't bought it yet; I thought to myself: You haven't bought it, but you asked me to buy it, isn't this cheating! I turned around and asked Li, and Li also said it was easy, buy XXX and it will work! I also asked him how much he bought, and Li said he bought ***** US dollars; I thought to myself: If it wasn't because you bought it, would you still say that? The butt determines the head! Anyway, I couldn't find the answer I wanted, so I simply stopped asking.
A person who has watched ten times of profit being gained and lost is likely to become so mean. I have tried to turn "gain and loss" into "loss and gain", but I lost interest after a while. After repeated failures, I have learned a truth: in front of the capital market, people are like ants. I thought I could change something through hard work, but in the end I found that all the gains and losses were just the result of going with or against the trend.
After thinking about this, I was very angry, angry at my insignificance, angry at the unfairness, and even more angry at why I couldn't be the winner. But a few months later, the situation changed.
In March 2016, ETH broke through $10 and BTC recovered to $400. At this time, I had $340,000. In order to keep the profit, I sold 23,800 ETH and only kept 10,000 ETH. I could have taken the money and lived a carefree life, but I didn't, because I had another idea: it was already $340,000, wouldn't it be easy to break through $1 million?
After getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment returns, I was no longer angry. I began to believe that the capital market was friendly and fair, and that it was easy to make money in the cryptocurrency world. However, I didn’t know how many people were still losing money and how many people had become stepping stones for others.
Holding a five-digit ETH was a considerable sum at the time, enough to attract the envy of many people. Whenever someone asked me how I invested in the Ethereum ICO, I couldn't help but pretend to answer: I saw at first glance that this project had a promising future. Although this lie was only a few words, it was exchanged for countless admiring looks. I patiently introduced Ethereum to them, a new species different from Bitcoin. I described Ethereum as a world-class computer that anyone can access; through automatically executed smart contracts, it is impossible for both parties to the transaction to default. They listened to my clear and logical explanation and admired me even more. I didn't shut down the search engine that had been running for a long time until they stopped asking questions.
Not everyone is optimistic about Ethereum. Bitcoin supporters are the opposite example, because they think Ethereum is a heresy and has the sinister intention of subverting Bitcoin. I am not particularly obsessed with supporting either side. My idea is relatively simple: I will support whoever makes me money.
Sometimes I wonder what the purpose of these people coming to the cryptocurrency circle is. If it is to make money, why do they take it so seriously? If it is for faith, why do they put faith and money together? Could it be that they are doing it for something that is independent of money and faith? If so, what exactly is this thing?
