Cheng Hao, who was born in 1995, entered the currency circle at the end of December 2017. Every time he chats with friends in the currency circle, he always says, "The currency circle is easy to make money, but I only regret that I entered it late." Cheng Hao, who just graduated from college last year, started working in a traditional investment bank. However, after working for half a year, he was not only very tired, but also did not make much money. But while working in investment banking, Cheng Hao heard about Bitcoin from friends in the investment banking circle. In 2017, Bitcoin rose nearly 14 times from its highest point at the beginning of the year to the end of the year. This kind of gain is simply unimaginable in the traditional stock market. Therefore, he decided to resign from a traditional investment bank and at the same time joined a Token Fund (token investment fund) through a friend's introduction. Cheng Hao was unlucky because at the end of December 2017, the price was at a high point and he could not make much money in the secondary market, and he was even more and more trapped; but Cheng Hao was lucky because in the token market The reason for working in an investment fund is that I can invest in relatively high-quality ICOs with the company and get the last bite of the bull market.

Cheng Hao, born in 1995, entered the cryptocurrency circle at the end of December 2017. Every time he chats with friends in the cryptocurrency circle, he always says, "It's easy to make money in the cryptocurrency circle, but I just regret that I entered the circle too late." Cheng Hao, who just graduated from college last year, started working in a traditional investment bank. However, after working for half a year, he was not only very tired, but also did not make much money. But during his work at the investment bank, Cheng Hao heard about Bitcoin from his friends in the investment bank circle. In 2017, Bitcoin rose nearly 14 times from the beginning of the year to the peak at the end of the year. This kind of income is simply unimaginable in the traditional stock market. So he decided to resign from the traditional investment bank and joined a Token Fund through a friend's introduction. Cheng Hao was unfortunate because the price was at a high point at the end of December 2017, and he could not make much money in the secondary market, and was even trapped more and more; but Cheng Hao was lucky because he was able to invest in relatively high-quality ICOs with the company because of his work in the token investment fund, and drank the last sip of this bull market.
In half a year, Cheng Hao made more than 10 million, completing a small leap in class. However, Cheng Hao felt very insecure, especially late at night. "I couldn't sleep every night lying in bed, because I only made 10 million, which made me feel insecure. This is not me pretending to be cool. I know that 10 million is a huge sum of money for most people, but this amount of money is really nothing in the currency circle, and most people working in our company have a net worth of more than 50 million." Those who made 10 million and couldn't fall asleep late at night Every late night is a difficult moment for Cheng Hao. This is completely opposite to what most of us think, because in most people's minds, making a lot of money in the currency circle must be very happy, and they should fall asleep happily every night. But the real situation is just the opposite. For Cheng Haos who made more than 10 million in a short period of time, holding this tens of millions of wealth is not an easy thing in their eyes. They are more afraid of the loss of wealth and the desire for continued growth of wealth. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Life has changed too much. Cheng Hao used to squeeze into the subway even during the morning rush hour because he couldn't afford to take a taxi. Now, he can not only take a taxi at will, but also recently bought his dream BMW M3. He never wants to go back to the days of squeezing into the subway, and this thought deepens Cheng Hao's anxiety late at night. All this can be seen clearly late at night, and the fragility and greed of human nature will only become stronger under the bright moonlight. Cheng Hao, who has assets of over 10 million, has to take some melatonin every night because he can't sleep. In fact, he also knows that taking too much melatonin is not good for the body, but in order to force himself to fall asleep, he can only choose to take medicine. Cheng Hao said: "I will stop taking it when my assets exceed 100 million."
2. Life is like a roller coaster, and every night makes me anxious "It would be great if I had sold it at that time!" Every time he said this, Song Hai would slap his thigh. Song Hai, 30 years old this year, borrowed 1 million yuan through a friend's introduction and bought 5,000 EOS at 95 yuan per piece and 10,000 ONT at 50 yuan per piece. Because a senior friend in the cryptocurrency circle told him: "EOS is this year's ETH, and ONT is this year's NEO." Although he has just entered the cryptocurrency circle, Song Hai has heard about ETH and NEO in 2017: in 2017, ETH rose dozens of times, and NEO rose hundreds of times. Song Hai calculated that even if EOS and ONT did not rise dozens or hundreds of times like ETH and NEO last year, as long as they rose 10 times, his assets would exceed 10 million from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Every time he thought of this, Song Hai was particularly excited because he saw the hope of buying a house in Beijing. In April 2018, during the bull market, EOS peaked at 140 yuan, and ONT peaked at 70 yuan. In a blink of an eye, Songhai made nearly 500,000 yuan. At this time, he thought to himself: "Oh my god, I can buy a 500,000 yuan Mercedes-Benz E-Class now. Otherwise, I will take my wife to the Maldives for a tour before getting married. No, no, no, let's have the wedding first. It can be more decent. The venue can be changed to Wangfujing Wangfu Hotel. That's called style. At that time, I will call all my college buddies..." Those cryptocurrency speculators who made 10 million and couldn't fall asleep late at night. These nights, Songhai began to be unable to sleep, because the pleasure of making money and his wild imagination made him lie in bed and think wildly. Songhai felt that it was only a matter of time before he made his first 10 million in his life. Or to put it another way, in fact, Songhai had already made 10 million yuan in his wild imagination, and now he was just considering how to spend the money. Excited Songhai, holding the "10 million he had already earned", consumed himself in fantasy every night. However, a day in the cryptocurrency world is like a year in the real world. The market took a sharp turn for the worse. The bull market in April left without a second thought, and the cryptocurrency world entered a long bear market in May. By now in July 2018, the prices of all currencies have fallen terribly, including EOS and ONT, which Songhai had pinned his hopes on. Yes, in just less than three months, Songhai went from making 500,000 yuan to losing 500,000 yuan.In addition, he had to pay back the loan of more than 40,000 yuan on time every month, which made Song Hai fall into anxiety and fear. Especially at night, Song Hai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When he made money before, it was because of excitement; when he lost money now, it was because of fear. Seeing the loss of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan on the account of his digital currency exchange every day, Song Hai was confused every day at work. Let alone the goal of making 10 million yuan by the end of the year, now Song Hai only hopes to make back the principal. "I'm really scared, especially when I'm alone at night." Song Hai said listlessly. Every late night, Song Hai would keep staring at the market, hoping for a thick and hard big positive line so that he could pay off the loan as soon as possible. After all, he still hopes to marry his beloved girlfriend by the end of this year, but the impulsive loan before has now become a stumbling block to his marriage and future. To be precise, perhaps it is not the loan that really hinders his happiness, but his greed. After all, the tears and hysteria he left in the middle of the night are the true voice of Song Hai. Song Hai said: "I will stand up again." I have given my fate to the cryptocurrency world. "Actually I don't want to wear low-cut clothes, but I am deeply involved in the cryptocurrency world and can't help myself."
3. 23-year-old Qiu Shui also attended a blockchain conference today in a low-cut dress. With exquisite makeup, graceful figure, and revealing low-cut dress, every time Qiu Shui attends various activities in the cryptocurrency circle, she can attract the attention of many people present - especially men. With her dusty dress, you may never guess that Qiu Shui is actually a master's student at a top university in Beijing. In fact, before entering the cryptocurrency circle, Qiu Shui was a typical "other people's child" who had always had very good academic performance since childhood. By chance, Qiu Shui learned that many of his classmates around him made millions in just a few months by doing proxy investment, especially girls who would buy Hermès bags or go to Dubai for a trip at any time. Under this stimulation, Qiu Shui also started to do proxy investment. The so-called proxy investment is actually that you get shares from those rich and powerful people in the cryptocurrency circle at a relatively low price through some methods, and then resell them to others to earn the difference. Qiushui disclosed: "In the complicated cryptocurrency circle, beautiful women have an advantage in proxy investment. Because the cryptocurrency circle is still dominated by men, if you are a beautiful woman and you are lucky, you only need to say a few nice words or act coquettishly, and the other party may be willing to sell you the shares at a low price." At the beginning, Qiushui was still quite cautious. After all, she also knew that there were all kinds of people in the cryptocurrency circle, and girls should be careful about their own safety. However, when Qiushui made more than 300,000 yuan through proxy investment, she felt it was incredible. "I couldn't sleep every night lying in bed. Half of it was excitement, and half of it was regret. I was excited that I started to make money, and it was much easier to make money than studying hard; I regretted that I should have been bolder every time, so maybe I would have made millions now." So, after Qiushui made more than 300,000 yuan in the early stage, she became more bold. She didn't look at the projects as carefully as before, and always felt that proxy investment was a business that was sure to make money. Relying on her good looks and trustworthy high education, Qiu Shui accumulated a large number of clients and raised millions of funds at once. She decided to go big this time.She used several million to invest in a copycat coin. Because they had cooperated once before, Qiu Shui was not worried about the project party this time. Her mind was full of: After this vote, I will also be worth 10 million. However, the naive Qiu Shui did not expect that the mixed currency circle was actually full of deception and illusion. After taking the money, the project party ran away - the mobile phone was turned off and WeChat was deleted. At that moment, Qiu Shui felt that the sky was about to fall. What she faced next was: debt collection and threats from customers. Every day someone threatened Qiu Shui, either sending her some dirty words or sending her a short video containing bloody and violent content. Qiu Shui was very scared, especially lying in bed late at night. I don’t know how many tears she shed. Whenever it was late at night, she didn’t know why she missed the small and beautiful life on campus. Perhaps, people are like this. When they are really scared, they will miss the life that they don’t cherish on weekdays. Qiu Shui, who shed tears in the middle of the night, has not changed. If there must be something that has changed, it is that the neckline of Qiu Shui’s low-cut dress has become lower. In the cryptocurrency world, thousands of stories happen every late night. But no matter whether you are a battle-hardened cryptocurrency tycoon or an ordinary person busy making money or paying off debts, you always have to sleep at night.
