#我的Gate交易时刻 In 2010, I didn't know about Bitcoin, but I bought a $900 RMB Bitcoin.
In 2013, I heard about Bitcoin for the first time, 1200 RMB, from a friend who recommended it to me, asking if I could buy it.
I didn't buy it, I told him, "You better take it easy."
Half a year later, my friend told me, "Bitcoin has risen to 6000."
This time I bought in.
One month later, Bitcoin rose to 8500 RMB.
I didn't sell.
Later, Bitcoin kept falling to 4000 RMB,
I got liquidated on a contract.
Another half year later, Bitcoin dropped to 900 RMB,
This time I made a lot of money by shorting.
Looking at the 900 Bitcoin,
I bought 20 with a conflicted mind, stored in a hardware wallet, hoping to be a long-term believer like those big shots.
Back then, my friends laughed at me as a "bagholder," and I bought with a mindset of zeroing out.
A year later, there was a roaring bull market, Bitcoin rose back to 8888 RMB,
My friends all said I was awesome, and I confidently said, "I'm going to sell the top."
I opened my hardware wallet and sold all 20 Bitcoins I had stored for over two years, nearly ten times the amount.
Later, every year on Pizza Day, I wished I could find a crack to crawl into.
In the crypto world, this is just an ordinary, nothing-special "selling the top" story.
A few months ago, a friend asked me, "Do you remember that year you shorted and made a killing? Do you still have those 30 Bitcoins I transferred to you?"
I paused for a moment, and the pain wasn't about those 30 Bitcoins,
but recalling that over the years, I did contracts, gold farming, mining, arbitrage—had moments of glory and despair—but overall, not only did I have fewer coins, but my money also became less.
Why, from my 900 RMB Bitcoin to now, haven't I made much money as a fellow participant?
My reflection is—because I don't hold coins, I lack patience, I focus on short-term trading, and I forgot the original purpose of buying Bitcoin.
If I were to give a selling price for Bitcoin now, I would write "none." Bitcoin is the future digital gold.
Before you sell Bitcoin, think about how high gold's future price could reach.
From a long-term perspective, Bitcoin's trend will keep rising!
So in the crypto world, maybe in the end, it's not about how low you can buy, but how long you can hold.
When it comes to wealth, measuring how far you can go isn't really about principal and cost basis, but about "vision."
Everyone, have you ever bought Bitcoin at a super low price? Did you sell at the top? Leave a comment and let's chat!
