That night I bought $BinanceLife, I told my dad, "This time it's really different."
My relationship with my dad has always been a bit "financially" rocky. He's a retired teacher, spent his life teaching math, swears by "compound interest" and "HODL"—but only when it comes to fixed deposits. He calls that "not crashing." Back in 2021 when I first entered the crypto scene, he almost dropped his teacup when he heard I was trading futures. "You young folks, aiming high but your life’s as fragile as paper." I didn't catch that. And then it's the familiar script: leverage, liquidation, borrowing, break-even, and then liquidation again. After two years, I went from 100k to 8k. Not in USDT, but in RMB. My bank account looks way better than my crypto wallet.
Here's a controversial take: ETH won't outperform SOL by 2026. SOL's meme ecosystem is already established, and when you think of memes, SOL is the first to come to mind. CZ's constant pressure on SOL shows he's worried. Underestimating memes is the biggest mistake in BNB's growth journey.
Jumped into the game in '21, lost two years' salary in just three months. That winter, I was living off 10 bucks a day on Lanzhou ramen, and my girlfriend left me. Three years later, I flipped 200x thanks to the SOL meme ecosystem. Looking back now, those losses were just tuition fees for the crypto world. To my brothers still holding on, keep pushing.
Trump takes 17 business bigwigs to China, way bigger than 2017. Huang Renxun quietly hopped on Air Force One, breaking all media predictions. Tomorrow's US-China talks, remember this logic: Deal = US stocks up = crypto market up, No deal = everything crashes. I'm currently sitting on the sidelines waiting for the outcome.
$LAB 50k U shorting with 20x leverage, the liquidation price is only 5% away. If the whale pumps it tonight, I might have to delete the app and go to bed 😂 Any fellow traders in the same position?
In my rented place in Beijing's Third Ring, I've lost all the profits from last year.
Late at night, scrolling through my phone, I saw a photo of Trump landing at the capital airport—he's really here. From May 13th to 15th, this time it's not just Twitter banter; it's a serious state visit. I stared at the screen for a moment, watching BTC's movement; it’s been sitting around 87000 for three days, just like the calm before the storm we saw in last year's Q4. Then I clicked into the Binance Square and saw a post that made me laugh—someone asked if they could rent the room next to Trump for fifty grand to hear him talk about candlestick patterns. The comments section was full of LOLs, but honestly, that joke isn't funny at all. Because in the crypto space, you don’t even know who’s living next door, let alone what cards they're going to play tomorrow.
Last winter, I had a buddy, and everyone in the circle called him Old K. Old K trades in all markets, ETH, BTC, GTC, you name it, but he's most obsessed with GTC. He said Gitcoin is like that old chess room downstairs in his hometown—that's been around for twenty years—"The old folks come every day, not to win money, but just to keep that table alive." By the end of 2024, when GTC dropped to 0.03, he said something I'll always remember: "Bro, do you know what the bottom looks like? The bottom is when even the haters of the crypto world can't be bothered to hate anymore." I didn't think much of it at the time. Later on, GTC really took off, going from 0.03 to 0.18, but Old K didn't sell. He said he was waiting for a moment—waiting for a "time when even the grannies would dive in." In the end, the grannies didn't come; instead, a bunch of bot accounts showed up, and at one point, the bot ratio in the segment soared to 27%, with nearly half of the 158 posts being automated trading bots.
That year I sold my wedding ring to dive into crypto, and three years later my ex asked to borrow money. In the winter of 2023, I stood outside the civil affairs bureau for forty minutes. It’s not that I couldn’t let go. It’s just that I was holding onto a diamond ring—the divorce agreement stated he walked away with nothing, but that ring cost me three months' salary. The pawn shop owner gave me eight thousand bucks. That eight grand was my entire capital. A lot of folks ask me how I got into crypto. It’s not some fancy story, it’s just plain and simple—I ran out of cash. The first buy was ETH at $2200. The next day it tanked to $1800. I stared at the screen for two hours, my finger hovering over the sell button, but I didn’t hit it. Then I thought, I’m already in this deep, how much worse can it get?

At 3 AM, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so I opened Binance Square and scrolled for a bit. I came across a 15-year-old girl saying she saw Sun Yuchen's ad at Huizhou Airport. I saw a college student saying BSB's losses are so bad they can't even afford a cheap meal, just scraping by with a few bucks from Pinduoduo for hot pot. I saw a dude saying $LAB 0.68 short, he’s mortgaged his house and car. Suddenly, I’m wide awake. It’s not that these stories are so tragic, but I suddenly realize — behind every "tragic post" in this square, there’s a living, breathing person, using a real position to gamble on an uncertain future.
At 2:30 AM, I was standing in front of the convenience store fridge staring at a bottle of 3 bucks water, and suddenly I burst out laughing. Not because the water was cheap, but because it hit me—three years ago, right outside this convenience store, I pulled out 2000 bucks using Huabei and first clicked on that yellow exchange icon. Back then, I felt like the chosen one. Got in at 2000U, and the first month I flipped it to 4000. I was pacing back and forth in my rental, feeling like I finally found the answer to life. I shot a message to my former colleagues on social media: "No more 9 to 5 for me," then I tossed my phone aside, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
The Lanzhou noodles shop downstairs that had been running for eight years shut down last week. The owner, Old Ma, treated me to the last bowl of noodles before he left. I asked him why he quit, and he said, "I can't keep going, standing fourteen hours a day, my lumbar disc herniated in three places, and all the money I made went to the hospital." I asked him if he ever thought about switching careers. He laughed: "I thought about it, yeah. Last year, I traded some crypto and lost thirty grand, then came back to making noodles honestly." I didn’t say anything at the time. But on my way home, I kept thinking—Old Ma stopped after losing thirty grand, what about us? Look at the guys in the square. $ETH is crashing near the liquidation line, and someone’s shouting, "May the Goddess bless us!"; $DOGS , with just one official statement, has someone opening an 80k USDT long position claiming they’ll make a billion. What's the difference between me and Old Ma? At least he knows when to stop because of his herniated disc. Many of us are close to getting liquidated and are still adding margin. Old Ma closing his shop is a stop-loss; us not stopping is because we won’t admit defeat. But the market doesn’t care whether you admit defeat or not; it only cares about your positions and margin. Binance has recently been promoting a gold vs BTC event, which is pretty interesting. Gold is ancient money, stable; BTC is new money, volatile. Just like Old Ma’s noodles and crypto—one fills your stomach, the other makes your heart race. But as the saying goes: being full is more important than a racing heart. This year for the New Year, my goal isn’t to tenx, it’s just to stay alive. Staying alive is more important than anything. What about you guys? Do you choose the racing heart or the peace of a bowl of noodles? Let’s chat in the comments 👇
My uncle is 58 this year, and he's been running a small convenience store in our hometown for twenty years. Last week, he called and said he plans to hand over the shop. I asked why, and he said that everyone is buying stuff online now; he barely gets a few customers a day, and the rent keeps going up every year. After hanging up, my heart sank a bit. Suddenly, I thought of something—his little store is just like me buying altcoins back in 2021. Holding onto a chain that no one walks on, watching the candlesticks every day is just like him watching the entrance, hoping for customers to come in. Occasionally, when a big whale sweeps up some coins, it feels like a major client has arrived, and I get all excited. But what's the big trend? Users have left, liquidity has dried up, and holding on just means wasting time. It took me twenty years to understand the term "stop-loss." In just two years in crypto, I learned that if you're going the wrong direction, the longer you hold, the more you lose. Yesterday, I cleared out my last two shitcoins and kept my spot positions in BTC and ETH. It's not giving up; it's changing lanes. Just like my uncle said: "I'm done with the convenience store; I'm going to learn to create short videos; at least there's traffic there." Sometimes I feel that trading crypto and living life is pretty similar. You need to know when to hold on and when to walk away. The scariest part isn't losing money; it's losing money and still being reluctant to leave, ultimately losing the principal you could have flipped. Today, are there any brothers and sisters in the square like me who are "clearing out to change lanes"? Or are you still holding on tightly? Let's chat in the comments. #BTC走势分析
Last October, I almost dumped my entire savings of 80k, which I had built up over five years, into a meme coin. It's not that I had everything "figured out"; I was just scrolling through the forum late one night and saw a post claiming they turned 20x in three months, with a screenshot that was blindingly green. In that moment, I got a bit impulsive, and my finger was already hovering over the confirm button— Then my phone died and shut off automatically. And just like that, it saved my ass. That coin went to zero the next day. After that, I spent a full three months reviewing every trade I made in the crypto space over the past two years. Guess what I found? The trades that actually made money were almost never the ones I opened out of "excitement." They were always the ones where I took a quick glance, thought, "Hmm, the position looks decent," set my stop-loss, and went to bed.
