If you're losing money in crypto or stocks, feeling lost, panicked, and losing sleep over it, think about the future. Take me as an example.



In 2015, I just graduated from college. Monthly salary was 1,500. I was margin trading stocks with credit cards in Hangzhou, got liquidated and owed 80k.

In 2016, Jiedai Bao (a P2P lending platform) put me in debt of 200k. Monthly salary was 9,000. I moved from Hangzhou to Beijing, joined the mobile internet industry, and started lending money on Jiedai Bao — only lending, never collecting. In the end, none of the money came back. To this day, more than a dozen people still owe me over 400,000 (including interest).

In 2017, I quit the internet industry and entered crypto. Monthly salary was 20k. I borrowed money to go all-in on trading. During the 2018 bear market, I started a crypto finance media, totaling 500,000 in debt.

In 2020, I got liquidated on March 12. I mortgaged my hometown house and borrowed from all my relatives and friends. Eventually, I caught the big bull market of 2021.

In those years, every time I made big money, I couldn't keep it. Every time I lost everything and fell into debt — just like many people now — I felt hopeless and lost about the future.

Luckily, there were still bull markets and opportunities. NFT, metaverse, staking, SOL, BNB, shib, pepe, bomo, pnut, trump... MU, SNDK, MRVL, ARM, INTC... Looking back from the timelines of 2015, 2018, and 2020, crypto and US stocks gave so many chances.

What I want to say is: while you're feeling pessimistic, opportunities are also waving at you.

Jiedaibao is full of high-interest loans, and few borrowers are willing to repay.
