🌕 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all my friends at Gate Square! Seeing the topic #币圈趣事分享 , I just couldn't help but share a "heart-pounding memory" from my personal experience - not the romantic kind, but the kind where I almost threw my Private Key in the trash 😂.
Many years ago, when I first started to get into Bitcoin, the price wasn't as "unreachable" as it is now. A friend jokingly sent me 0.5 BTC as a "birthday gift," and I casually wrote the Private Key on a sticky note and stuck it on the edge of the monitor... Yes, that kind of small yellow square.
So, guess what happened? A few months later, I was doing a big clean-up and almost threw it away as scrap paper! Luckily, I trembled a bit and didn't lose it, it floated to the back of the keyboard, and I managed to pick up a "billionaire's life" (even though 0.5 isn't considered a billionaire now, but back then it was a huge sum!). 😭
From this, I understood: in the crypto world, the most expensive thing might not be Bitcoin, but that piece of torn paper with writing on it.
Additionally, I must mention that classic meme — "the expression when you say you want to 'hold steady' with Bitcoin and it drops 30% instead" — it's simply a true reflection of my experience every time I open the market software...📉😆 The reason this image is classic is that it accurately captures the psychological process of crypto enthusiasts going from faith to collapse in just 5 minutes.
