60 million users on Gate now.


I joined in 2019 when the app still felt half-empty and my first order was 0.004 BTC. I sat there watching that one candle like it owed me rent.
A few months later I had a small bag of some random alt I barely remembered buying. Woke up at 3am, opened the app, saw +280%. Screenshot. Sent it to a friend. Started writing the victory speech in my head.
Refreshed.
It was one illiquid trade that printed a fake spike and instantly vanished. Position was red again. I put the phone face-down and made chai like nothing happened.
That bag is still sitting there. I check it sometimes just to laugh.
Gate is celebrating 60 million users and asking people to share their stories, so here’s mine.
When did you join Gate?
What was your first trade?
What’s the moment you still can’t tell people without cringing a little?
Drop it. I want to read the ones that actually happened.

I got on board in 2019. The interface was much more basic than it is now, but that untamed feel was strangely addictive.

That “pre-written victory speech” was too real—I’d already bought a villa in my head, and after refreshing, all that was left was silence and a cold Americano.

Starting with 0.004 BTC—looking back now, it really brings tears to my eyes. Back then, I thought I hadn’t bought enough; now, I think being able to hold on is what’s truly difficult.

I entered the market in 2020. My first trade was following a group member into a shitcoin: it doubled in three minutes and went to zero in thirty minutes. That night, I stared at the candlestick chart and smoked half a pack of cigarettes.

Hahaha, I’ve encountered that fake spike too—at 3 a.m., my heart stopped, and at dawn I discovered it was just a liquidity issue. Since then, I’ve learned to check the trading volume before taking a screenshot.
