The first time I heard about Bitget, a friend invited me to participate in an event.

At that time, I had just entered the crypto space and didn't really have any concept of exchanges; I was only thinking about whether I could earn some living expenses, even if it was just a few hundred bucks a month.

Back then, I thought trading was far away from ordinary people; terms like US stocks, gold, traditional finance, Wall Street… these words sounded like things people like me would never encounter.

To learn about crypto, I started scrolling through X (Twitter).

By chance, I found a contact from a friend in India. Honestly, I only had a try-it-out attitude at the time, sending him my thoughts and opinions, and to my surprise, a senior executive from an exchange actually took the time to read messages from regular users and even replied promptly, patiently helping me with issues.

From that moment on, I developed a good impression of Bitget.

Bitget wasn't the first exchange I used, but it was the place I stayed at the longest and was most willing to remain, because here it felt more like a place where someone was really listening to users rather than a cold, lifeless tool.

Eventually, I started to truly engage in trading, from spot trading to contracts, and began to explore the entire UEX ecosystem on Bitget step by step.

When I first started playing with contracts, I was actually very excited, always thinking I could catch the next wave of market movements. I remember once, a meme coin suddenly surged by over ten times, and my short position was directly liquidated to zero.

That night, I hardly slept, as I realized for the first time that trading wasn't as simple as just clicking buy or sell.

For a long time afterward, I repeatedly experienced losses, but it was precisely because of these experiences that I began to slowly realize that I couldn't keep fixating on contracts, and I started to explore new directions.

It was also during that time that Bitget began to launch "US Stocks on the Blockchain." I discovered for the first time that the distance between US stocks and the crypto world could be so close; I used to feel that such things as US stocks were very distant from ordinary people. Opening an account, having a dollar account, various barriers—it sounded troublesome just to hear it.

But in the Bitget UEX panoramic exchange, you could directly access these traditional markets using U, and with a 0 fee. At that moment, I really felt something strange, like a world that was previously separated by a wall being suddenly opened by a door.

Later, when CFDs were introduced, I participated immediately to experience them; gold, indices, traditional markets… these things I used to only see in the news began to appear on my trading page.

I started to pay attention to the Federal Reserve, to gold, to external markets, and to the interconnections between different assets. My trading perspective started to slowly change from that time onward.

Although I didn't make much money with CFDs during that time, I learned about position management and fund allocation and began to truly understand risk control.

In the past, I only wanted to get rich overnight; later, I slowly understood:

Staying in the market for the long term is already very difficult.

Besides trading, I also started to put some funds into wealth management. At first, I was just afraid I couldn't control myself because I knew that as long as I had idle positions, I would always want to open random trades.

But gradually, I began to engage with more stable products, and I understood for the first time what “passive income” meant. Every time a new Launchpool went live, I would immediately put in BGB, and calculated, it turned out to be quite a surprising extra income.

I could clearly feel that Bitget has always been serious about building the ecosystem and not just wanting users to keep trading.

Later, when AI trading tools began to gain popularity, I also started to experience the AI products launched by Bitget. Including the recent GetClaw, the experience was actually quite surprising; it didn't suddenly freeze or report errors for no reason.

In the past, I felt that AI was far from trading, but now I am slowly discovering that it really starts to change the trading methods of many people. Through this process, I gradually transformed from a novice who only impulsively opened trades to someone who seriously considers risks and manages positions.

Since entering the space, I've seen many people come and go. During the bull market, everyone seemed like a genius. In the bear market, the group was as quiet as if no one existed; some became rich, some got liquidated, some left the space, and some never logged in again, but I am still here.

Now, I have also become a VIP user of Bitget. I can feel that Bitget genuinely values long-term users. VIP events, airdrops, dedicated customer service, various benefits—I've basically participated in them all. Many people might think these are just "operations," but for long-time users, you can actually feel whether the platform truly cares about its users.

Sometimes looking back, I find it quite magical that a person who couldn't afford to lose even a few U in the past now starts to research US stocks, gold, CFDs, AI trading tools, learns about position management, and seriously thinks about the words "risk."

I used to think these things were very far from ordinary people. But Bitget's UEX ecosystem gradually opened that door.

It didn't make me rich overnight, but it truly allowed an ordinary person like me to first step into a bigger financial world.

The person who couldn't afford to lose even a few U before,

now finally dares to seriously imagine his future.
