The real journey of becoming rich in the cryptocurrency world, from debt to zero, then to tens of millions, and back to hundreds of thousands.

My Cryptocurrency Journey: From a Peak of 11 Million to the Abyss of Debt#

(This article is adapted from real experiences, and personal information has been anonymized)

Back then, I was still a young person full of dreams for the future🫡

Summer of 2019
An old friend who had been silent for years suddenly contacted me, mysteriously asking, "Have you heard of Bitcoin?" He then sent a link to a CCTV report. Looking at the words "decentralized revolution" on the screen, I felt as if I had seen the entrance to a new world.

Entering the Trap
He immediately recommended the PlusToken wallet, claiming that the "electronic dog" feature could achieve automatic arbitrage between exchanges. Although my intuition was screaming alarms, I inexplicably bought 3 ETH (about 5000 yuan) on Huobi to test the waters. Soon, I discovered anomalies:

The community was filled with a fervent atmosphere, allowing no room for doubt
Withdrawals required paying fees as high as monthly earnings
Blockchain records showed that funds had never been used for arbitrage

Narrow Escape
Miraculously, the platform recovered after a month of downtime, and I decisively withdrew my coins to Huobi. This experience taught me cryptocurrency trading skills and officially started my adventure in the crypto world. I converted all my ETH to BTC and continued to accumulate, investing a total of 50,000 yuan to hold 0.62 BTC.

Darkest Moment
On March 12, 2020, the pandemic combined with market panic caused my account to shrink to 10,000 yuan. Disheartened, I switched to the short video field and unexpectedly welcomed a career breakthrough—my new account gained 200,000 followers in a month, earning over 10,000 yuan daily.

Turning Point
At the end of 2020, Musk's endorsement caused BTC to soar 20 times! My dormant account suddenly jumped to 200,000 yuan, and combined with my short video income, my total assets exceeded 500,000 yuan. Proudly calling myself a "trend hunter," I became completely immersed in the crypto world.

Zootopia
In May 2021, stimulated by Musk's endorsement of SHIB, I invested all 0.87 BTC. A profit of 600,000 yuan in three days drove me completely insane, and I began to disdain real income, averaging less than 4 hours of sleep while obsessively watching the market.

First Roller Coaster Experience
V God’s donation of SHIB triggered a crash, compounded by the 519 incident, causing my assets to halve to 300,000 yuan. In a rights protection group, I met a "noble person," learned to use the TP wallet to participate in meme coin projects, laying the groundwork for future changes.

Interstellar Voyage
On July 3, 2021, swayed by friends in the group, I heavily invested in STARL Metaverse coin. My experience:

0.3 ETH to test the waters → 30 billion holdings
Refused to take profits when assets soared to 3.66 million
Cried while liquidating at 1.2 million after a crash

Deadly Choice
While withdrawing 600,000 yuan to buy a car, I was persuaded to switch to ETH, a decision that ultimately led to...
