#Gate广场披萨节
In 2010, I didn't know about Bitcoin, but I bought a Bitcoin worth 900 RMB.
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 6,000."
This time I bought in.
A month later, Bitcoin rose to 8,500 RMB.
I didn't sell.
Later, Bitcoin kept falling to 4,000 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 Bitcoin worth 900,
I bought 20 with a conflicted feeling, 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 mentality of zeroing out.
A year later, there was a roaring bull market, Bitcoin rose back to 8,888 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, very ordinary "selling the top" story.
A few months ago, a friend asked me, "Do you still remember that year you shorted and made a killing? Do you remember 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’ve had glory days and downturns in contracts, gold farming, mining, arbitrage, but overall, not only did I lose Bitcoins, I also lost more money.
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.
So in the crypto world, maybe in the end, it's not about how low you can buy, but how long you can hold.
Dear viewers, have you ever bought Bitcoin at the lowest point? Did you sell at the top? Leave a comment and let's chat!

I paused for a moment, and the pain wasn't about those 30 Bitcoins,
but recalling that over the years, I’ve done contracts, played gold dog, mined, arbitraged—had moments of glory and despair—yet overall, not only did my coins decrease, but my money also became less. Why, from my 900 RMB Bitcoin to now, did I not make much profit as a fellow participant?
The answer I reflected on is—I'm not good at holding coins, I lack patience.
