Since first encountering Bitcoin in 2013, I have been immersed in this circle for 13 years. I have witnessed firsthand its journey from being ignored to becoming a focus of attention, with stories around me full of ups and downs. Honestly, although I am considered a "veteran" in this field, I have not achieved the "get rich quick" dream that outsiders often talk about.

People often ask me: "13 years have passed, what exactly did you miss?" My honest answer is—what I missed were chances of speculative luck time and again. But what I gained was a comprehensive understanding of Web3, from unfamiliarity to deep insight.

Looking back from 2026, I want to share a few heartfelt words.

First, about this industry itself. Web3 is far more than just digital movement; it is the infrastructure of the next-generation value internet. If you haven't entered yet, please stay attentive. This remains the most realistic track for ordinary people to cross social strata and embrace the wave of technology. Opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing is the courage to break through cognitive barriers.

Second, risk control. This has been the most painful lesson of my 13 years. Staying alive is always more important than making quick money. Don’t be blinded by stories of hundredfold coins; the real moat is your position management and stop-loss lines. Always use money you can afford to lose to verify your judgment. This is not conservatism; it’s common sense.

Finally, mindset. The market will miss opportunities, accounts will incur losses—that’s normal. The key is not to doubt the long-term logic because of short-term fluctuations. The industry is full of ups and downs; what’s lacking is the ability to stay calm amid volatility.

Web3 is a long, long road. We need both idealistic passion and rigorous logical foundation. Just like Bitcoin’s consensus, long-termism is never just a slogan.

May everyone in this industry stay true to their original intention and go further and further.
