#Gate13周年 #Gate13年我最想说 What does 13 years mean for an exchange? Many projects can't even last three years. I've seen so many platforms open grandly, then quietly run away, go bankrupt, get hacked, or go to zero.

The crypto industry has never lacked stories; what it lacks are those who survive and stand firm. And Gate has been standing for 13 years like this.
I've been here for nearly 8 years. I remember when the interface was still very rough in the early days, I remember the worst bear markets when BTC fell below 3000, then below 16000, and the entire industry seemed to be dying—many people left, but Gate didn't shut down.
Only those that kept their doors open during such times are truly trustworthy.
In these 8 years, I've also cursed at it. The product froze, deposits were slow, sometimes the interface was redesigned so much I couldn't find the login.
But despite the complaints, I never moved my account away. Because I know, in this industry, platforms that can be cursed are the ones that still care; those that run away, there's nowhere to curse them.
Now GT benefits, Launchpool new listings, YuBiBao, quantitative funds... the product line is getting thicker and more comprehensive.
Sometimes I think, in 2013, Gate probably didn't expect to grow into this after 13 years. But no matter what it becomes, there's one thing I think hasn't changed—it's always been there.
Just being there is enough. In this industry, just being present is a miracle.
Happy 13th birthday, Gate. Keep standing, I will continue to guard this ever-expanding gate with you.
