13 years ago, a Bitcoin faucet website, you can get 5 Bitcoin airdrops by entering the verification code and address

The lowest price of Bitcoin at that time was 0.03u ​​per unit, which is about 2 cents in RMB, and 5 Bitcoins are exactly 10 cents

Did you receive it at that time? Did you hold it?

In this round of bull and bear market transitions, many people have directly returned to poverty. Why is it hard to earn money and even harder to keep it? I have done a simple analysis; what additional points do you have?

1. Path Dependency Trap

Many people cannot keep their money because they want to use the "methods that made money initially" to "keep money." For example, relying on boldness to earn the first pot of gold, but when trying to keep money, they still want to use leverage or gamble on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle. As a result, a single cycle of volatility can wipe it all out. You need to be greedy to make money, but timid to keep money; these two logics are mutually exclusive.

2. Social and Identity Premium

When you have more money, your circle changes. To maintain the facade of being a "successful person," you have to buy a more expensive car, enter more expensive circles, and invest in your friends' vanity projects. At this point, money is no longer your asset, but rather the fuel to maintain your identity. Once the fuel runs out, your identity collapses.

3. Cognitive Misalignment

What is most feared is treating "luck" as "ability." Money earned during a favorable situation, if not converted into stable assets in a timely manner, or if one's hard skills are not improved, will only be temporarily stored with you by society; it will flow back into the market through various temptations.

Summarized several typical "money-sending players" in the cryptocurrency world; everyone can see if they are among them.

The all-around champion in the casino

This type of person usually enters with a delusion of being the "chosen one." Clearly, they can't even understand K-lines, yet they jump in with 100x leverage, thinking that financial freedom is just a second away. If luck strikes and they grab a doubling coin, they believe they've become a war god, but in the end, they go all in and directly give their tuition back to the market. This is not called investment; it's called "suicidal charge." Always fully invested, always teary-eyed; aside from moving themselves, they actually have nothing left in their wallets.

Those who want to buy the Earth with a few thousand

With a few thousand U in hand, they dream of a Ferrari. This mentality is quite dangerous because they look down on that little steady increase, always feeling that buying mainstream coins in the secondary market is a waste of life. So what happens? They can only dive headfirst into the primary market or high-leverage contracts. To put it bluntly, this is like practicing acrobatics on a tightrope. There are indeed stories of turning a few thousand into millions, but the probability is about the same as being struck by lightning twice. Choosing the wrong path means that the more strength you exert, the faster you die.

The "crypto giant baby" that never grows up

Actually, this industry fears this type of person the most: not looking at data, not studying logic, just waiting for others to feed them. Not only do they need to be fed, but they must be begged to eat. This is quite funny; in this brutal market that doesn't spit out bones, who has the time to be your voluntary nanny? They feel awesome when they make money, but curse everywhere when they lose a bit. To be honest, this mentality should leave the scene early to stay safe because the market specifically bullies those who are still dependent.

The "stubborn" who holds onto junk as heirlooms

There is another group of people who sneer at Bitcoin, this "expensive thing," thinking it rises too slowly, while holding a bunch of altcoins with names they've never heard of. They think altcoins are cheap and can multiply a hundred times. But the reality is that what they often wait for is not wealth but a delisting announcement from the exchange. Their risk tolerance is basically zero, waiting for a miracle with a pile of inflated assets, and in the end, they will most likely only wait for them to go to zero.

In my opinion, to survive long in the cryptocurrency world, one must first admit that they are not a genius. Don't always fixate on those astronomical profits outside of their understanding; first, protect the capital in hand. Instead of fantasizing about getting rich from one coin every day, it’s better to accumulate more experience, allowing your pockets and mind to grow a little together.

Don't look down on us delivery people. Our station manager said that during the college entrance examination period, if we encounter someone who has lost their exam admission ticket,

or left their ID at home, or woke up late, or went to the wrong examination room, or is running late, no matter what order we have at that moment, we must immediately put down our current order,

and at the first opportunity—it's particularly emphasized as the first opportunity—let them quickly get in the car and ride the electric bike to bring the examinee to the station for onboarding.

The most important ability of a person is actually the ability to shield.

Recently, I chatted with some friends I have known for many years, and their evaluations of me were surprisingly consistent: you have become more peaceful.

But I know very well in my heart that this does not mean becoming less sharp, but rather separating peace and sharpness.

In social situations, I prefer to provide emotional value, allowing those I care about to feel relaxed, comfortable, and understood;

At the core level, on the contrary, because I am more stable and self-consistent, I become sharper in places where I truly need to express my views.

In the past, I also hoped to gain recognition, resonance, and applause through expression.
But in the current public discussion environment, I gradually realize that:
Not all voices are worth responding to, and not all misunderstandings need clarification.

So-called maturity may be like this:
Outwardly becoming more gentle, inwardly becoming sharper;
Shielding more from the world and being more honest with oneself.

If you want to make money, go where the fools gather. Recently, the premium on silver LOF has exceeded 50%. After subscribing, selling directly, and deducting handling and subscription fees, it is a sure arbitrage opportunity.

Right now, in the stock market, the retail investors are the most clustered. There are always naive people who believe that large investors sell off to suppress volatility and avoid regulation, while they desperately buy in, hoping that speculators will lift them up, only to end up facing consecutive trading halts, still insisting that they are being 'locked up in a Salvador prison'.

Looking at the cryptocurrency market, even the exchange owners are personally getting involved now, with referees jumping into the arena and even calculating the small capital of retail investors. At this point, trying to make money in the crypto market is incredibly difficult.

Cryptocurrency Survival Insights

When trading, if you start to doubt life after being hit hard and want to liquidate everything with one click, you're often close to an emotional bottom.

When you begin to hesitate about whether to sell a little, it means you have already made enough profit; sell part of it first, and then recoup your capital.

The "acrophobia" of the big pancake has acted up again. Last night, BTC briefly dropped below $90,000. Although it has swayed back now, it feels like this 90,000 threshold is as slippery as if it were coated in lubricant; once you stand on it, it slips away. To put it plainly, it is still related to the movements over in Greenland, plus the financial unrest in Japan, causing everyone’s safe-haven assets to flock to the golden leg. Gold has surged to $4,800, and today, this "digital gold" big pancake seems like a mischievous younger brother, still not keeping up with the elder's pace.

There is a very interesting phenomenon that most people have double standards in investment and consumption.

The floating loss fluctuations in daily positions can reach hundreds of thousands, and they might not even blink an eye; they have become completely numb under the market's devastation.

However, when shopping for a meal, buying clothes, or purchasing a skin in a game, even those expenses of a few hundred dollars still require careful consideration, often waiting for a discount to buy.

I am that kind of person.

I calculated that in the past two years, the total amount spent in games should be around 5000 yuan, averaging only about 200 yuan per month, and the amount spent on clothes and shoes should not exceed ten thousand, which is quite frugal.

Spending money like water in the investment market, but being stingy in daily consumption, sometimes it seems quite ridiculous when I think about it.

I have always believed that learning how to consume is a compulsory course for everyone, not just investment. Otherwise, what is the point of earning so much money if you don't know how to spend it?

However, I have been busy with work for the past two years and have never taken the time to consume seriously even once.

In my view, consumption does not mean spending indiscriminately to get a fleeting dopamine rush, but rather using money to buy experiences, exchange time, and enhance oneself.

Although I have entered the basics of investment, I feel that I will still encounter many pitfalls in consumption, and there is still a long way to go.

Interest rates have been cut, but it seems the money has gone to the wrong place?
​Today, the People's Bank of China announced a reduction of 0.25 percentage points in the rate of structural monetary policy tools.
​Response from the cryptocurrency community: As soon as the news broke, the old folks in the domestic community started flooding the comments: "The signal for easing has arrived!" However, everyone found that this money is mainly flowing into the "technology and green sectors."
​Interesting tidbit: There is a token called $GREEN which instantaneously surged by 5%, only to be quickly brought back down to earth when it was discovered that this "green" is not the same as that "green." Netizens complained: "The reflex arc in the crypto space has reached a point where the brain is no longer needed."

"The ancient giant whale awakens," netizens: "Which big shot wants to change cars again?"
​A BTC address that had been dormant for 12 years suddenly transferred out 500 Bitcoins (currently worth about 47 million dollars).
​Interesting fact: Everyone is guessing which hero who forgot their mnemonic phrase finally found their old notebook while moving.
​Current situation: After cashing out, the market experienced a brief pullback, and retail investors lamented: "When the whale turns over, we have to turn off the lights and eat noodles."

On this day last year, those young people who made a billion in a day!

Trump Meme Coin $TRUMP changed the lives of many, with many earning millions, tens of millions, or even billions in a single day!

This is also a moment worth commemorating in the entire history of cryptocurrency!

If you had seen it that day, would you have bravely gone all in?

These past few days I've been watching the解说 of 'Chu-Han Contention'
I'm amazed—Han Xin was truly extraordinary
Several times when Liu Bang was trapped and needed reinforcements
He refused to send troops due to timing issues
He trained soldiers with empty granaries
Only fought battles he was certain to win

Even when the elder brother called out, it didn't work

Trading is also warfare
It requires timing and the right moment

As for us common investors, we're constantly dragged by market sentiment, having our noses pinched
Envious of others' profits, depressed by our own losses

Money is our army—cherish every soldier

Keep being a turtle, hiding our heads

Due to the pullback in Asian Pacific stock markets and the plunge in precious metals, the crypto market today witnessed a 'massive crash'.

120,000 positions were wiped out within seconds, with $252 million in liquidations in just 24 hours.

It may sound like just a few lines of log entries on an exchange server, but it's a one-way ticket to the rooftop for countless individuals.

Why does watching Wuling car delivery move people?

Because in the cryptocurrency world, we've lost our reverence for "money." When millions become just a number, people feel empty. You start to think life is dull, and working hard on the ground seems foolish. This "post-richness syndrome" is essentially a detachment from the authenticity of life.

But the Wuling delivery ceremony brings back that lost reality.

The trembling hands of the owner as they receive the keys—this is the most primal and sacred reverence for the idea of "changing destiny through labor." That car won't instantly cross social classes, but it can carry more goods, travel farther, and keep the owner's child warm during rainy days.

The joy derived from survival, improvement, and hard work is far more powerful than any "hundredfold coin."
