#ETH走势分析 Last summer, Old Chen came to me with his phone. The number on the screen was glaring—1800U, the startup capital he had saved from three months of odd jobs.



"Can I give it a try?" he rubbed his hands, "But if I lose everything, I won't even have next month's rent."

That kind of caution actually reassured me. The real danger never lies with those who have little principal, but with those who only see overnight riches and treat investing like a gamble.

So I didn't recommend any "100x coins," didn't teach him to play with leverage, and definitely didn't let him chase those so-called insider tips circulating like crazy in WeChat groups.

I only gave him three iron rules—

First, don't impulsively go all-in the moment the candlestick turns from green to red; the market won't change direction just because you're anxious.

Second, only invest in assets you've thoroughly researched. Those projects with dazzling whitepapers but no real-world application? Steer clear.

Third, remember you're building wealth, not playing a thrill-seeking game. Every investment should withstand careful scrutiny.

The first two months were tough for him.
Seeing people in group chats post screenshots of doubling their money in a day, he wavered too. But every time he wanted to chase a pump, I'd ask him: "Are you after a quick thrill, or do you want sustainable growth?"

Six months later, his account balance froze at 51,000U.

He never experienced the panic of a liquidation, never lost sleep all night over a crash, never bet his entire life savings on some "tip."

How did this money come about? 20% grew to 40%, 40% became 100%, and 100% kept compounding until nearly 3000%. It sounds slow, but it's far better than those "fast money" plays that end up at zero.

Now I want to ask you: Do you plan to keep paying tuition to the market, or are you ready to be the one who laughs last?

What you said is absolutely right. It's those who are eager for quick success and instant benefits that are the real harvesting machines for retail investors.

Sounds nice, but can those coins really take off? Most of them look like vaporware to me. It's still more reliable to just hold mainstream coins and sleep soundly.

To be honest, this story of going from 1800 to 51000 sounds nice. It's not about the numbers themselves, but because there was no liquidation, no sleepless nights, no all-in on some insider tip. This is the growth pace I can accept.

Sounds good, but to be honest, turning 1800U into 51000U isn’t that miraculous... Compound interest takes time, and more importantly, luck in picking the right coins. The key is, most people can’t even hold on that long—they’ve already had their mentality wrecked by volatility.

It's really just an old story in a new bottle. I've heard this "steady compound interest" narrative way too many times... The key is, for Old Chen to go from 1800U to 51000U, how many pitfalls did he have to go through to truly understand it?

To be honest, this theory sounds great, but how many people can really stick to it? I’ve seen too many people who are extremely rational for the first two months, then start chasing those hype coins in the third month. Old Chen’s case is indeed persuasive, but it also depends on luck and execution—not everyone can resist the temptations in the group.
