The financial market doesn't care how much you have, but how long you stay. And it needs to be proportional to continuous learning and development. Then the time will come when opportunities explode, and you seize them. I once... - Downtrend 2018 - Bitcoin dropped from $6500 to $3500 in a few weeks. Just entering the market, I chased ETH at $200 and my account got halved. I remember buying ETH on the Remitano exchange and storing it in my MyEtherWallet. - Mini black swan 2020: In one night, BTC crashed 50%. The whole market was slaughtered. I also got burned on long shorts 😆 at that time, there was nothing to play with except long stripes. - Early 3/2021: BTC dropped significantly in 2 weeks, many altcoins that were at their peak suddenly divided by 3.5 times. Many L1 and DeFi coins I was holding suddenly dropped too fast, and I couldn't handle it in time. - Late 2021: Joined GameFi, witnessed the collapse and lost a chunk there. During this period, I still had to lose a lot because the uptrend in 2021 was very strong, so earnings were also good. - 2022 took the final hit from the black swan of Luna - UST. That m**f***er, in one night it crashed to 0. Even though the buying position was very good, it went from xx to several times down. This period cleaned out my account. - Witnessed the collapse of FTX but didn't lose money because I had no funds on the FTX exchange. Recovery process: I have recovered and developed since then. - I realized that only investing through the buy & hold method brings the best profit, so I have continuously learned to improve my investment analysis skills. To this day, I am always learning something new and ADAPTING to the market. Because the nature of the market will always change. ROI - The return on investment I mention here is the ability to find and invest in a deal that can multiply x times. 2020-2021: ROI earned / project usually from x3-5 times. Late 2021: Profit margin improved thanks to the uptrend pushing it up to x15. 2023: Profit margin ~10x due to the market having no waves. With the standout deal being NFT Aptos Monkey. 2024: Profit discipline pushed up to 20x with Ordinals, at this point I still haven't fully grasped the skills to play the narrative, so even though Ordi is 100xx, I still only made a little. Late 2024: The AI trend pushed my profit margin up to 120x. With the lifetime investment deal being ai16z increasing 100x,...I took profits early on ai16z but still multiplied xx a few deals after that. 2025...waiting for the market's answer. Don't give up, everything tomorrow will definitely get better.
