#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 In 2017, I decided to get in. Honestly, it wasn't based on any rational analysis; I was just stimulated.

A friend of mine made a fortune from cryptocurrencies and bought a house. Over dinner, he casually said, "It's not that hard, just hold on." I was caught up in the moment and poured the 130,000 yuan I had saved over several years directly into an exchange.

At that moment, I truly thought I was at a turning point in my life.

The first lesson the market taught me was very straightforward.

I had no logic, no trend analysis, just followed the loudest shouts. Today, this coin is going to skyrocket; tomorrow, that project will change my life. But what happened? The numbers in my account were being dragged down by something. In just a few days, more than half evaporated. I stared at the screen, palms sweaty. Wanting to cut losses but reluctant, wanting to hold on but lacking confidence. It wasn't just losing money; I felt completely drained—years of savings gone in the blink of an eye. And my understanding of the market? As thin as paper.

The most ironic thing was I was still fooling myself: "Wait a bit, others are making money, I can't be this unlucky."

Looking back now, that wasn't patience at all; it was self-deception.

What truly woke me up was a late night.

Seeing the green in my account, I suddenly understood: the market wasn't targeting me; I simply wasn't prepared to get on the table.

From that day on, I stopped chasing hot news everywhere, abandoned the fantasy of turning things around overnight, and started seriously studying: how can I make money, and how am I losing it.

That 130,000 yuan didn't make me money later, but it gave me the most valuable thing—an entry ticket to the market.

I gradually realized one thing: the crypto market has never been about who has the bigger guts, but about who can survive longer.
