#特朗普撤销农业产品关税 In that year, I had already been in this circle for the fifth year. That afternoon at the old street teahouse, a longtime friend suddenly snuffed out his cigarette and asked me directly:
$ZEC "Do you really make money by watching the market every day?"
$TNSR I didn't waste any words, I directly unlocked my phone and showed him the trading account. He stood there for a full three seconds, his expression shifting from doubt to shock—
In that crazy market of 2021, my account balance was literally increased by five zeros.
His lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something but swallowed it back. But I knew very well in my heart that behind these numbers were countless sleepless nights and moments on the brink of collapse.
Five years ago, my monthly salary was less than five thousand, and the balance in my bank account was always in the four digits. Life felt like it was nailed in place, with no possibility of any loosening.
The opportunity came without warning. One day, while scrolling through my phone, a screenshot of a price surge caught my eye—that bright green curve made me realize for the first time: it's not that opportunities don't exist, it's that I've never actively seized them.
So I placed a bet. I exchanged all the money I had saved for several years into chips, and at that moment I entered the arena, my hands were shaking.
At that time, I knew nothing, couldn't read macro data, and couldn't understand market sentiment. The only thing I could do was stay up all night staring at the K-line. My heart raced when it went up a little, and I broke out in a cold sweat when it dropped a little.
To withstand the pullback, I ate instant noodles for two consecutive months; To make up for the margin call, I put my camera that I have used for three years up for sale on Xianyu. There have been several times when I couldn't close my eyes for over forty hours in a row, staring until my eyes felt dry and painful.
Until the market really exploded in 2021 -
I just understood what it means to be "pushed by the times." The account numbers shot up like an out-of-control elevator, from five digits to six digits, and then to seven digits. One morning I woke up and casually scrolled, only to find that my balance had quietly transformed into another magnitude.
Ask yourself: Is it time to continue standing still, or to seize the next opportunity?

It’s the same old story about getting rich from eating instant noodles, always fooling a few newbies to join in. To be fair, some people did make money in that 2021 run, but even more lost everything. The problem is, it’s 2024 now—are we still talking about dreams from five years ago?

It's all just motivational talk from 2021, and discussing this now feels a bit awkward... Never mind, I won't say more, after all, the crypto world is always a story of winners.

To put it bluntly, it was just good luck to hit that crazy wave in 2021. Who would believe it when you talk about it so miserably now? Let's see how long you can hold on when the next wave of market comes.

The part about selling the camera was really amazing, showing that one must be ruthless at any time. Are you still waiting for the next wave?

Instant noodles exchanged for a seven-digit number? Bro, this story is good, but I was there during that wave in 2021 too, how many zeros are left now?

Oh, this story is well told, but to be honest, who didn't make money during that wave in 2021? The key is how much is left now?

Oh, this story sounds just like my daily life from last year, except I wasn't that lucky, haha.
