What did these two and a half cycles in the crypto world teach me? 1. Back in 2014, my connection with the crypto world started purely by chance when I bought and sold BTC on Taobao. In 2017, I was renting a place at Zhixueyuan in Xierqi, and the red Huobi logo on the nearby building always made me curious. But I didn’t seem to have any pursuit of money at the time. It wasn’t until I went abroad later, faced financial struggles, and listened to the guy next door in the dorm passionately talk about cryptography that I truly entered the crypto world in 2018/19.
