In 2018, I dove headfirst into the crypto world, at a time when the bull market had just retreated and the bear market was beginning to stretch on. Everywhere around me were legends of people getting rich from bottom-fishing. I also charged in with passion and all my savings, thinking I could catch the wave and turn things around.

Just as I entered, I ran into a long downward trend, thinking it was the bottom, bottom-fishing halfway up the mountain; thinking it would rebound, but instead, waterfalls kept breaking through the support levels. Using leverage to hold full positions, chasing highs and selling lows, blindly trusting the big players, stubbornly holding onto altcoins... I fell into every trap I could find, losing almost all my capital, my mindset completely shattered.
Those days, I would wake up every morning watching the charts, unable to sleep late at night staring at the candlestick patterns, tormented by anxiety, regret, and self-doubt. Seeing people around me exit one after another, I also considered giving up, but I couldn’t bear to see all my years of effort go to waste.
Later, I started to calm down, refine my understanding, quit being impatient, stay away from noise, learn to control my positions, respect the market, and accept losses. I stopped dreaming of overnight riches, stopped being driven by emotions, and gradually matured through the cycles of bull and bear markets.
Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. From a naive, reckless beginner to an experienced player who has seen madness, endured the cold winter, and survived crashes, my account gradually recovered and turned profitable, and my mindset became much more stable.
There are no shortcuts in the crypto world; all composure is earned through countless sleepless nights and lessons learned with real money. To survive and go far in this circle, it’s not luck that matters, but understanding, self-discipline, and relentless perseverance.
Enduring the lows, crossing the bear market, staying true to your original intention, you will eventually transcend the bull and bear cycles and live the life you want. #WCTC交易赛瓜分800万USDT #Gate13周年 $BTC $ETH $GT
