My entry into Crypto wasn't early.

In July 2025, I first encountered Gate. Unlike many people, I didn't start by trading contracts right away, but instead put my funds into financial management.

The reason is simple—when I first entered the crypto world, I didn't understand many things.

I couldn't read candlestick charts, I didn't understand projects, and I couldn't even distinguish between different chains and wallets. If I didn't even know where the risks came from, blindly chasing hot spots or using leverage was really no different from gambling.

So at that time, I chose the simplest method:

First observe the market, learn while earning some stable income.

What left a deep impression on me was Gate's Lunchpool.

I staked 800 USDT, and after a few hours, I received

5 tokens, then reinvested the 5 tokens,

and that feeling was really great.

It was also from that time that I gradually learned about stablecoins, on-chain ecosystems, DeFi, and various investment methods.

Later, as my experience grew, I started exploring more products.

Spot trading, prediction markets, US stock sectors... each attempt gave me a new understanding of the market.

What left a deep impression was prediction markets.

At first, I thought prediction markets were just guessing wins or losses, but I later realized that wasn't the case.

Whether it's sports events, hot topics, or macro news, fundamentally, they are all about market expectations.

You're betting not on the result itself, but on the public's judgment of the result.

Recently, markets related to the World Cup have become increasingly popular, and I often follow the odds changes and market sentiment on Gate.

Sometimes, the speed of odds changes is even faster than news dissemination.

Looking back, from only being able to buy financial management products to now being able to analyze projects and markets independently, my biggest gain isn't how much money I made.

It's learning to respect the market.

Gate's homepage activities also give away free prediction market tickets.

Yesterday, I bet on France and earned over 7 USDT.

That feeling of getting the prediction right is really great.

Crypto has never been a story of getting rich overnight.

What truly matters is continuously accumulating knowledge with each decision, making yourself a little better than yesterday.

And Gate has accompanied me throughout the entire process from a beginner to now.

This is my Gate trading moment.
