That night, I made a decision
At 3:17 a.m., the light from my phone screen stung my eyes.
BTC had pulled back from $72,000 to $64,000, and everyone in the community was discussing where the market was headed. I stared at the candlestick chart and thought for a long time.
My name is Chen Hao. I’m an ordinary office worker who transfers part of my paycheck into Binance every month. After two years, I’d built up some savings in my account. I’d always been a long-term holder: buy, delete the app, and rarely make frequent trades.
But that night was different.
I watched BTC hit $64,300, and a thought crossed my mind: this might be a good time to get in.
I opened Binance and used some of the funds in my account to buy BTC. The moment I placed the order, I felt both nervous and excited.
For the next two hours, the price kept falling. My position was fluctuating. My phone wouldn’t stop vibrating, and the group chat was full of all kinds of opinions. Some people were pessimistic; others shared their own experiences.
I turned my phone face down on the table and decided to stop watching the market.
My wife turned over in the bedroom and drowsily asked what was wrong. I told her it was nothing, that I was reading the news.
At 5:30 a.m., I picked up my phone again. BTC had rebounded to $65,800. I breathed a sigh of relief.
At 8 a.m., the Asian markets opened, and the price began climbing noticeably. $67,000, $68,000, $70,000. The value of my position kept changing.
By 2 p.m., BTC had surged to $71,500. I stared at the screen and thought for a long time.
In the end, I decided to sell part of my position.
Taking profits and playing it safe. It turned out to be a pretty good trade.
Later, someone asked me, “How did you dare to buy in at that point?” I said it might be because after two years in the market, I’d learned one thing: when everyone is hesitating, it’s often worth paying attention.
Still, I don’t trade like that often. Waiting through that night really was nerve-racking.
Now my account quietly holds BTC, and I remain bullish for the long term.
Sometimes I think the most expensive part of investing isn’t the tuition—it’s the emotional journey of that one night.
