Last week, while I was taking time off, I had dinner with a 42-year-old guy from Shanghai. We had a whole table of bangbang cuisine. He pinched a piece of braised pork belly and smiled as he told me: “This year, I’ve collected 2.8 million in rental income again—accounts in the crypto market can be treated like retirement.”
You probably wouldn’t guess that seven years ago, he was still just an ordinary office worker, holding a 500,000-yuan down payment for a house and charging into the crypto world.
Now what? His assets have multiplied a hundredfold, yet he still rides an electric scooter to the market to bargain. He’s calmer than anyone.
I tracked his trading records for three years, and only then did I realize that getting to where he is today wasn’t luck—it’s a kind of “anti-instinct” patience.
For example, in 2020, every time BTC surged upward, it would suddenly dump down 10%. Most people would panic and cut their losses. He, on the other hand, dared to add positions during the drop.
He said: “Large players accumulating is like whales opening their mouths—you have to scare away a bunch of small fish first.”
And there was another time: a certain low-cap coin dropped 40% in a single day. The rebound was weak, like a lame person climbing stairs. He immediately liquidated. Later, that coin went straight to zero.
He sees it very clearly: “Real distribution is a dull knife cutting off flesh, and a powerless rebound is just a run.”
But what left the deepest impression on me was his mindset. In a bear market that lasted ten months, he stayed in cash with no positions, leading his followers, and every day he ran, fished, and practiced tai chi—his hands never touched the market.
People mocked him for being so “Buddhist,” and he replied calmly: “Buying makes you a disciple; going flat—that’s the master.”
At the end of the meal, he wiped his mouth and asked me: “Why do most people lose money? Because they always want to get rich overnight, but they refuse to get rich slowly.”
That line jolted me awake.
In the crypto world, it’s never a competition about who’s smarter—it’s a competition about who can endure, and who can last.
My biggest realization over the past few years is this: you’re not trading coins—you’re trading human nature. Price charts are just the costumes the whales put on; trading volume is the truth underneath. Only those who can understand this language have the right to keep living.
I used to crash around alone in the dark, getting cut to the bone. Now the light is in my hands, and this light has been shining nonstop. So—will you come with me? @渔歌趋势 #ACE
