In the second half of 2026, I suddenly realized that Short Bird and I actually appeared in a WX group from the first half of 2023. Three years ago, there weren’t any KOLs in the group. Back then, zhaozhao was still figuring out: how to turn the 80K RMB from an airdrop into an A7? Back then, I was genuinely full of hope for the future. Three years later, Short Bird has already become an A8 player, while zhaozhao has failed for the fourth time to break through A7.5. Sometimes, when I think about it, Crypto is really fascinating. Some people take off all the way, some keep hitting the same wall, and some just circle around the same cycle over and over. Now, I believe that the day XLayer takes off will definitely push Short Bird to an even higher level. But at this point, asking me to figure out how to truly break through A7.5 (5 million RMB), it honestly feels harder than ever. Not long ago, I finally cleared out my Layer2 positions and hopped on OKB. So far, I’ve made a small profit, but my only regret is I didn’t buy enough at the time. Three years ago, I was thinking, how to turn 80K into 1 million? Three years later, I’m wondering, when will I finally cross A7.5? The person is still the same person, the group is still the same group, but everyone has already come so far. In August 2026, zhaozhao is still waiting for a gust of wind. I need to find time to complete ｜the last five-year plan of my life.
