In 2021, I was 28 years old, and I earned 10 million.
I was proud and complacent.
I heard a saying:
There are two great disasters in life: youthful success and sudden windfalls.
I was puzzled—how could such great fortune be a disaster? Some even use this saying to show off or humblebrag.
But in the following six years, I followed the crypto world every day and saw many people go from overnight riches to unpayable debts,
from being the darlings everyone chased after to being despised like stinky dog poop.
Including myself, I lost the 10 million and ended up 300,000 in debt.
Looking back now, it really was a disaster.
When life takes off suddenly without much experience, you think it’s your own strength, that it’s deserved,
that it’s the big trend of your life, that you’re exceptionally capable.
But you don’t realize you’re actually the pin being attacked by a sandwich.
