Don't look for partners in the crypto world, that's the conclusion I reached back in 2018 😅😅
I am not talented, in 2017 I made my first pot of gold of 2 million yuan by investing 2000 yuan in Litecoin, all documented on Sina Weibo, which helped me accumulate my initial fan base and gain some fame in the crypto circle. At that time, I was living in a rental apartment in Longgang, Shenzhen, quite far from the city center. Once, I asked on Weibo for recommendations for good restaurants (to treat a friend), and a female fan left a comment. We added each other as friends, and after a month of discussing cryptocurrency trading, one dark and windy night, we had that kind of story, and then we got together.
At first, being together was quite nice. She graduated from a top university, had a high IQ, and was very good at learning. We got along very well. My initial pot of gold of 2 million had grown to 12 million after a super bull market in 2017, and I felt quite satisfied. Gradually, I started to secure my profits, similar to my current idea of stepping back from the crypto world to seek stability. She admired me a lot, but she was still just dabbling in the crypto space and hadn’t made much money, so she hoped to hand over her trading account to me, wanting me to help her earn more. Initially, I refused, but I couldn’t withstand her persistent persuasion, and eventually, I managed her account.
In 2018, EOS was booming, but all peaks must decline. It gradually fell from its highest point with no signs of stopping. I remember gradually buying the dip around $8, but the continuous decline led to increasing losses. To help her recover her losses, I also joined in to buy the dip, trying to lower the cost. Unfortunately, EOS behaved like a beast, showing no signs of stopping. I remember one night when I was holding onto my positions while buying the dip, staying up all night until dawn, and I lost over 3 million.
After this battle, I was completely at odds with EOS. Those who traded early in the crypto market know that EOS only stopped falling at $1, with countless people buying the dip and going bankrupt. As a result, I lost 90% of the profits I had made in this bull market. If I hadn’t dated someone from the crypto world, I might not have gone back to buy the dip. This incident hit me hard, and we often argued because of it, and we broke up not long after.
Later, I learned my lesson and decided not to date anyone from the crypto world, especially those who trade contracts. In 2021, I dated a rich girl. Due to our interaction, she learned about the crypto world and developed an interest in trading contracts, starting to experiment with small amounts. Every day she asked me whether to go long or short. I advised her to quit gambling, but she didn’t listen, so I immediately broke up with her. Unexpectedly, she had the new trader’s luck; in less than a month, she made 300,000 from an initial 100,000. I advised her to cash out, and she verbally agreed but didn’t take it seriously. One night, after a sudden market movement, she woke up thinking she could collect money, only to find her account had gone to zero. Later, she invested another 200,000, but luck never favored her again. Eventually, she understood what I was saying and successfully quit gambling. We ended up becoming good friends. Later, in 2023, I encountered another strange person, a unique existence.
(The above is a true story from my personal experience)
