I’ve never been as utterly demoralized as I have been this year. It feels like my hometown is toxic. When I went to another city back then, I didn’t have any income either. And I didn’t have a job either, but the whole time my mindset was still very positive. Why is it that the moment I go back to my hometown, it turns out like this? I just don’t get it. At my age, you start to realize that going to work doesn’t solve any problems. The only way out is to get rich beyond your wildest dreams—earn enough money in a year for decades. That’s the way out, not spending every day grinding away for those one or two hundred yuan, in that endless job. But I don’t have any other options either. I only have one—crypto.
