I took half of my living expenses and used it to buy a 31U plus 5U tip. When I finally calm down, “slow is fast.” As of now, there are three coins I’m watching closely: HYPE, LIT, and UNI. But HYPE has already risen too much. Still, in the near future it should reach a new high and break through 100U, because favorable news on U.S. regulatory compliance. In the future, this may spark a wave of concept-driven market action, and related to it is LIT.
The most correct approach is: after HYPE rises 20%, chase into LIT. If, within the next month, the overall market trend turns favorable, LIT should quickly make a new high.
BTC and ETH will likely pull back these days. Let’s see if they can hold steady. I hope the darkest night—when I was at my most desperate—has already passed.
If a pullback can’t hold, then it’s another endless, long bear market.
I probably won’t write diary entries much from now on. Getting paid from work might be my fate. At least there’s one good thing about work: life is hard, but time also feels like it moves quickly. That way, I can watch the market less, make fewer trades, and wait for certainty. In a bear market, there aren’t that many chances—most of them are traps.
Today 0 U, August 19, 2026 (Rain Falls into Butterflies)
It rained all afternoon. The rain hasn’t stopped yet, and I’m still running around in the rain. There are 2 elevators that haven’t been fixed either. I’m so tired. I feel like living really isn’t meaningful. I don’t want to write a diary, but I feel like I might already be going crazy. Writing it down makes my heart feel a bit better—this is also a kind of venting.
Since I started working, I’ve received my salary 3 times, but I still don’t have any principal. People used to read my diary often; they should know my debts are 18,000 RMB. Since I started working, I’ve only paid back 1,900.
When I received my second paycheck, I used 500 U to place a single-order contract. Two days later it liquidated. The debt that was supposed to be repaid still wasn’t repaid. I thought if I could earn some money, I might turn things around and pay everything off at once—but now it looks like it was just a daydream.
It’s a bear market now, and it seems I’ve somehow crossed into a bull-and-bear cycle at once. Everything has withered. The two airdrops I had been desperately waiting for still haven’t come. Now I don’t even hold out hope anymore. If an airdrop really does get sent, I probably won’t have the资格 for it either. I’ve distanced myself from the market. In real life, I’m struggling desperately. Maybe it’s hard for people to teach each other—maybe only things that happen to you can make you grow. It’s just that I seem to fail again and again, and it feels like there’s never an end.
Now I only have a few hundred yuan for living expenses. I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it until payday. Maybe I should take these few hundred and try to make a move—but right now I don’t even want to look at the chart.
Despair—besides despair, there’s nothing. There’s no hope at all.
It’s so hard.
Rain Falls into Butterflies—when it rains, the rain falls to the ground like butterflies. Now I don’t know whether it’s rain or tears on my face.
WeChat only has 20 yuan left. I got paid once at work, but the company effectively withheld half a month’s wages. This month I have to wait until the 15th for my paycheck. And that’s assuming everything goes smoothly—now who am I supposed to borrow 200 yuan from just to get to payday? My nickname is 200U, but I only have 20 yuan left. I can’t borrow 200 yuan at all—what a f***ed-up life.
So when exactly will Base or Polymarket distribute the airdrop? Is it going to be after I die—the grass over my grave has grown a few waves, and the airdrop still hasn’t been sent? Or is it that when the airdrop finally comes, I won’t even be eligible?
This is what a bear market looks like. Paraquat, absolutely!
It's been months, maybe years, since I've had a meal that doesn't leave me hungry for three days. I don't know when this will end or how much longer I can hold out.
On the 15th, I count the days until payday on my fingers, but my expenses always exceed my income. I'm constantly daydreaming about airdrops from Base or Polymarket, hoping for a few thousand to tens of thousands of U in a single wallet. But the reality is I can't even afford a meal, going hungry for three days after eating once.
The gap between dreams and reality feels so close, yet so far away.
It's a bear market, and just surviving is a stroke of luck. My days are incredibly tough, so tough, so tough.
In 2026, besides BTC and ETH, the only projects I see having value are three: HYPE, Base, and Polymarket. HYPE has launched its token, but Base and Polymarket have yet to drop theirs. From what I see, Base and Polymarket are just going to PUA (pick-up artists), and they've hurt me deeply. They're truly the scumbag projects of the crypto world.
I thought I’d be getting a full month’s salary in June, 6000 yuan, but they only paid out May’s salary, which is basically just half a month’s pay. After deductions for social insurance and housing fund, there’s barely anything left. It’s clear that in a few days, I’ll have trouble even affording meals.
From May to June, I’ve been borrowing money just to eat, but things are starting to slowly get better. The gap between a startup and a big company is still significant.
These days, I’m working overtime during the holiday to keep myself busy. By night, I’m totally worn out; I just lie down and sleep, no time to think too much.
How are you all doing?
Base and Polymarket have yet to drop their airdrops. Those two projects’ airdrops are my only hope in the crypto space. As time passes, my eligibility for those airdrops is fading away. It’s been ages since I interacted with them, so maybe when the airdrop finally happens, it won’t even matter to me anymore.
Today 0 U, May 21, 2026 (Sweat Drips on the Ground)
It's been a while since I wrote a diary, a lot has happened, but thankfully I'm still okay.
The weather is super hot, but I absolutely love summer; while working, sweat is pouring down like a shower. Sweating is definitely better than crying. My body is tired, but what I fear more is mental exhaustion. Enduring hardship is what makes a person great. I've been dealing with a lot, and right now, I feel really strong. Just two horizontal lines and a vertical one mean: Let's go!
I'm waiting for my paycheck, waiting for the airdrop from Polymarket and the base chain, but I haven't interacted for two or three months. Are my accounts still holding up?
I really want to say one thing: Bring it on!
Currently, my salary is 6000 a month during the probation period. I hope my work goes smoothly, and I hope the airdrops come through smoothly.
Today 158 U, March 30, 2026 (Is my contract risky?)
After a day of mental preparation, I nervously closed my eyes and opened a 6x contract, also setting a stop-loss. BTC should have a phase rebound, right? Everything that should be sold on the market has been sold. As long as the news remains stable, it's very likely that it will go up.
Brother Ma Ji, Huang Li Cheng's long contracts have exploded again and again, almost to the point where there's no principal left, so it must be at the point of no more explosions. Brother Ma Ji is very much like me, a die-hard bull.
Who is using the crawfish AI? Because I currently have no tokens, can someone with more tokens help me analyze all my diaries and see what my trading posture is? Is it suitable for trading coins?
I am desperate. Currently, the only project I am optimistic about in 2026 is Polymarket. Friends who are interested, join now. The token airdrop is expected in June, and it's considered a short and quick project. I really have high hopes for it. At the same time, I predict that the market is like a casino. We must remember that we are here to grab airdrops, and the risk is very high. In a bear market, it's easy to be countered, but Polymarket is truly the only project in 2026 with airdrop value, the hope of the entire airdrop community.
This is my account at Polymarket; I trade purely manually. Friends who understand, please help me analyze my trading profile. https://polymarket.com/?r=200uuu
This afternoon, I reported to the company for work. The probation period salary is 3800, and after the probation period, it will be 6200 yuan. Later, I still need to undergo a physical examination and certification. It's really a tough situation; what seems like a small effort for others is a huge barrier for me. For work, I feel like a charlatan, able to deceive for a day is a day.
I bought a silver tea filter for over 400 before, about 43 grams of silver, and the silver market price is already over 17 per gram. I compared two places, the lowest is 10 per gram and the highest is 14 per gram.
Currently, I can't afford a second-hand electric vehicle either, so I thought of a way to rent an electric bike, and that's all I can do.
I hope to go to the company at three in the afternoon, and I really need a job.
Is BTC going to drop to a point where it can't drop anymore? When the ground troops attack, is that the last drop? I always thought BTC was not a wartime steel demand? It should not be gold but better than gold, right? Isn't it digital gold? It turns out it’s just a toy of capital.
I won't place an order now because my hands are shaking, I'm scared, and the pressure in my heart is too great; I can't afford to lose.
I thought BTC wouldn't drop below 70, but due to a piece of news, it dropped in a straight line.
If Satoshi Nakamoto knew that the BTC he invented is like this now, would he be so angry that he would climb out of his coffin?
I found three big brothers and asked to borrow some money to buy a second-hand electric scooter, promising to pay them back after payday, but one big brother replied that he didn't have any, and it was really tough. The other two big brothers have not replied to my messages at all.
I really want to sell my blood. I took the bus from the town to the provincial capital this afternoon, and now I’m taking the high-speed train to the southern city. I want to work hard, be a beast of burden, but I just don’t know if I’ll have the chance to be a beast of burden when I want to.
Now on the high-speed train, recalling various past events, tears instantly wet my eyes as memories flood back, but this world doesn’t believe in tears, and I don’t want to be emotionally moved anymore. I need to think carefully about the road ahead and take each step well.
In the past, when I traveled far, sitting in the minibus, I always silently made a promise to myself: if I don’t do well, I won’t come back. Even if I die, I’d rather die outside. This time, I don’t have any grand ambitions; I feel lost and confused, like a dog.
To save some money, I couldn’t bear to take a taxi. I took the bus for 2 yuan, wasting 2 hours. It’s really not easy being away from home; I can’t even afford a bottle of water when I’m thirsty. I also don’t have much money left on me.
It’s tough, really tough. I don’t want to write a diary anymore, but documenting my life means recording my miserable state, and this is the path I took to get here.
Now, I’ve lost everything, I don’t even deserve to be human anymore, I’m worse off than a dog.
But my current situation is a choice I made back then; I can only blame myself.
Will things get better in the future? I hope so.
It’s a bear market now, and the best choice is to stay away from the crypto world and wait for future opportunities. Short some positions and set stop-losses. Then be patient and wait for a small rebound after the drop.
Actually, I still have a glimmer of hope for a Polymarket airdrop. Although my trading volume is low, it’s still something I manually worked for. Maybe there will be a miracle, and if I hit it right, I could get a little bit of capital back, but it’s just my fantasy.
Brothers, when you first worked in another city after graduation, did you feel good on the first day?
Yesterday I had soup made with cocklebur, and today I’m still alive. The longest incubation period for the toxin is 3 days, and since I haven't had any issues today, it should be fine, right?
Although I’m not dead, I've lost all the money in my account. The results from the recent trial are in; it’s a maintenance worker position, and I start work next Tuesday. There’s a probation period with a salary that’s quite low—around 3800 during probation and about 6200 after that. I still need to buy an electric bike, but I don’t have the money for it right now, and I’m not sure if the job will go smoothly. Maybe after a few days, I won't be able to keep up, and it’s all just pressure.
Living is really exhausting.
I’ll share the chat records; the company’s boss won’t see them, or else I’d be directly fired. He probably doesn’t trade cryptocurrencies.
Today 17U, March 26, 2026 (Is this the final chapter?)
The BTC contracts have been doing very, very poorly; even a dog could do better than me with contracts. I didn't want to write a diary anymore, but I thought this might be the last diary entry of my life, so I might as well write it down. I once said that my diary is a record of facts. When I was making money, many people didn't believe it; later, when I was losing money, many people still didn't believe it. But honestly, whether they believe it or not doesn't matter to me at all.
I really don't know how my future will be, but right now I feel like such a failure, completely useless.
Tonight I drank a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine that my mom made because of the severity of my tinnitus. My parents mean well, but they might be biased. I checked the leftover herbal residue and found out it was Xanthium; I drank a bunch of Xanthium today, which is toxic.
If the poison really takes effect, I don't even want to go to the hospital anymore; I can't bear to spend money, and I have no money left. I'll endure it if I can. My family seems to have good intentions but ends up doing harm; they suffer from a lack of knowledge, but I don't blame them, I blame myself.
Is my life coming to an end? I really feel so unwilling, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Maybe I'm just being overly worried, thinking too much. I used to tell myself, until the end, who knows life and death? I don't know if I have any chance to turn things around in the future.
I hope my painful experiences can provide some insights to those who read my diary.
How sad it is that I ruined a good hand of cards; I never expected that I could fall to a point where a single hair could crush me.
Also, if you were to ask Xu Jiayin, Zhang Jindong, Wang Jianlin, when they had good cards, they also never imagined they would end up in a situation like this today. Compared to them, there’s really nothing to feel sorry about in my case.
I've lost so much; if I still have a chance, I don’t even know how much I would need to win back to feel satisfied.
The renowned graduate exam teacher Zhang Xuefeng died suddenly due to cardiac causes, prompting everyone to reflect and discuss health issues. He was very young at only 41 years old, right in the middle of his life. When I saw this news on Twitter yesterday, my first feeling was that it was a rumor, but it was later confirmed.
The cryptocurrency industry is even more of a high-risk sector for sudden deaths. Many big shots in the crypto space are extremely intelligent, calculating everything down to the smallest details, always weighing the gains and losses of trivial matters in life to the penny. After acquiring hundreds of millions in wealth and resources in the crypto industry, they are also unwilling to give back to the industry. In fact, many have harmed the industry through their words and actions.
They fundamentally do not understand the importance of being grateful. Some people are reluctant to spend money and delegate authority, mostly relying on themselves to work through the night, exhausting themselves. In their eyes, no one else is capable, only they are.
If there is no life’s 1, what use is there in having many 0s?
For me now, I should risk my life to make money, and once I have made money, use it to buy life. For those who have made money in the crypto space, don’t push yourself too hard; money is endless. If you need to rest, then rest, and if you can spend a little money to have others work hard for you, then spend it. For example, I am in dire need of money right now.
I feel that if the Middle East doesn’t continue to fight, BTC at 70,000 is a bottom.
BTC's rise and fall depends entirely on a word from Trump,
say bomb, it falls. say no bomb, it rises. In talks, it rises. Not in talks, it falls.
What kind of market is this to play with?
Last night, backpack airdrop, countless people got rekt, this kind of project that hasn't issued tokens for years, once had countless opportunities, in a bull market there are no airdrops, dragged into a bear market, this damned project team can't help but die.
Now the studio players, everyone is talking about the only hope on the whole network, Polymarket,
this?
Is it gold or shit?
I am already wilted, the direction is wrong, all efforts are in vain.
A big brother told me to buy boldly, if I lose, he will give me 53U. A big brother said he would give me 10,000U.
Imagining having it and actually having it is like heaven and earth.
Those who only date and don't marry are all scammers, scammers.
Only the 53U in hand is reality, my current situation.
Recently, I've been a bit crazy, writing several diary entries a day, expressing my inner thoughts. The pressure is too much for me, and I feel quite tired, but I can't sleep well at night.
If a person who has been poor for too long has a negative mindset, they may become perverse, harboring hatred for society and disdain for the world. So whenever I feel a bit of emotional distress, I write it down in my diary; it's a form of release for me.
Anyway, no one here knows me,
I hope that amidst the cold eyes and ridicule, I can still maintain a childlike innocence. It's common not to be well-regarded; people often need to see to believe, while there are always some who believe, and thus they see.
In the current context where privacy tracks are gaining more attention, there are actually not many projects that can truly balance privacy and compliance, as well as technology and implementation. Midnight Network (https://www.binance.com/zh-CN/square/profile/midnightnetwork) is definitely one of the most noteworthy projects this year, with its native token $NIGHT supporting the entire network's value core, making the practical application of privacy blockchain truly feasible. As the core privacy side chain of the Cardano ecosystem, Midnight Network does not follow the traditional anonymous path of privacy coins but instead creates a programmable privacy system using zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), completely separating the consensus layer from the private computation layer. The public chain ensures security and settlement, while the private chain protects users' sensitive data. This design allows users to hide core transaction information while also having the option to selectively disclose data when needed for compliance audits, perfectly resolving the contradiction between data transparency and privacy protection in traditional public chains.
I really can't go on like this; I need to learn to comfort myself. Why do people have faith? Because in times of confusion and helplessness, and when afraid, faith is a pillar. I used to not believe in fate, a scientific materialist. After being poor for a long time, I gradually began to believe in fate. Combining my birth date and age, I used AI to calculate my fortune: late bloomer, successful in middle age, prosperous in later years.
Those destined for great wealth, often can't save money before the age of 40.
It's not that fate is bad, but rather that the blessings are too great.
Those with high blessings must first suffer in their early years. The more suffering endured, the greater the hardships faced, the clearer the karmic obstacles will be.
Heaven lets you be unlucky, in debt, poor, and deceived before the age of 40, is to polish you clean through hardships, and raise your vision and character.
Wealth has energy. Only with experience, endurance, and a mindset that matches it, great wealth will come safely, and you will be able to hold onto it, guard it, and discern clearly what to take or leave.
So there's no need to fear the "emptiness" before 40, the truly frightening thing is being knocked down by hardship and not daring to move forward again.
All the "lateness" is for a more intense explosive growth.
Life doesn't have to win multiple times, but it must win the last time.
Recently, I have been researching new breakthroughs in the privacy track, and I was greatly impressed by the project @MidnightNetwork ! As a privacy sidechain of the Cardano ecosystem, it utilizes zero-knowledge proof technology to achieve programmable privacy, and has uniquely created a dual-token model with NIGHT and DUST. Holding NIGHT allows for automatic generation of DUST to pay transaction fees, completely freeing it from the impact of token price fluctuations on transaction costs. Moreover, NIGHT is a governance token with a fixed supply, which can be staked to participate in node consensus for rewards, and can also vote to decide network upgrades. The mainnet is set to launch at the end of March, and Google Cloud and Vodafone are also participating in node validation, providing institutional backing. The privacy track is definitely a new opportunity. #night $NIGHT
Today 53U, March 23, 2026 (Is the world going to be destroyed?)
I have stopped the loss again, currently in cash, I can't understand why I went long. Tonight, the United States might bomb Iran's civilian power plants again, and Iran might bomb the power plants and civilian high-rises of Middle Eastern countries. It really seems possible that a certain tower could be taken down.
The Middle East is avoiding missiles in the smoke, while China steps out to see the brilliant fireworks.
Firestorms abroad, fireworks blooming at home.
Peace is really good.
I always thought BTC was the best tool for hedging, but the fact is that BTC is even more financial than finance itself. I can't understand it, I really can't figure it out.
