There’s a guy in the group who does cross-border logistics. He has a small warehouse in the Shatian area. He usually doesn’t talk much, but he’s pretty down-to-earth.
Last year, when that wave of market momentum kicked in, it was like he got a whole new “chip.” One time during dinner, he told me, “In my positions, there are three junk clones. One of them has already gone up sixfold.” He said it without even putting down his chopsticks, and his eyes were bright in a way that was downright startling. Later, he moved the turnover funds from his warehouse and added leverage. He also taught others in the group how to read the K-line chart, saying his goal was to push this round to an eight-figure number so he could retire and go to Dali to buy a courtyard house.
Someone in the group urged him to take a bit more profit and reduce exposure. He replied, “You’re just too timid. In a bull market you don’t even dare to make a move—so what are you doing in a bear market?”
Then later, it brings us to this day of this year. Not long ago I asked him in the group how he’s been doing recently. He only replied two days later: he’d already uninstalled the app because his phone memory wasn’t enough. I asked him about his positions, and he said, “Don’t even mention it. I’ve got only a tiny bit of spot left—just to keep something as a memento. Every day I’m hoping to break even. The moment I’m back to even, I’ll clear everything. I won’t touch it ever again in this life.”
After that, he added one more thing: “The courtyard house in Dali—now I can only look at it in short videos.”
I looked back at his chat history from last year. Same person—over more than two hundred days. One day he was shouting about financial freedom, and the next he only wanted to get out of it whole, not a word of the same tone. It didn’t even sound like the same person.

Are “you” in the bull market and “you” in the bear market the same person?
