#Strategy加仓BTC Three years ago at that dinner table, I was often scolded. My husband said that my crypto trading was gambling and not a proper job, and relatives kept challenging me: "I heard you’re playing that Bitcoin thing? Isn’t it just a scam?" I lowered my head to eat, and any explanation seemed powerless.



At that time, the market was indeed bleak—BTC was repeatedly testing the $30,000 level, ETH had just broken through $2000, and the entire market was filled with bearish sentiment. Relatives would advise me to give up the fuss and get a proper job, while showing off how their daughter passed the civil service exam or how their son bought a house. I clenched my shrinking positions tightly, not even daring to share my trading records in the family group.

The turning point happened on an ordinary weekend. My account first jumped over six figures, heading straight for seven figures. I showed the screenshot to my husband, who silently stared at the screen for a long time, then unexpectedly smiled: "I’ll cook tonight, you teach me how to operate." It seems that the balance is indeed more convincing than a thousand words. $BNB

Last week, when I went home again, the atmosphere was completely different:
My cousin pulled me aside and asked, "Sister, can I still get on ETH now? Someone said it could reach 10,000?"
The most critical eldest uncle came over and whispered, "So... where is the safest place to store Bitcoin? Which wallet is reliable?"
I opened the app while teaching them how to register, verify, and place orders. Even my father-in-law was muttering nearby: "If I had known this could make money, I should have started earlier..."

The once-dismissed "fantasies" have now become the "most reliable investment" at home. But I know very well: a bull market can easily lead to self-inflation, and true respect comes from those moments when your position gets liquidated. Markets cycle, greed and fear take turns, and making money is never about luck, but about learning to take profits before the tide turns.
BTC-2,61%
ETH-5,85%
BNB-2,15%

ngl the wallet questions hitting different now... uncle asking about custody is peak market irony. but yeah, that "balloon effect" on relatives never gets old—suddenly everyone's a hodler when the bags print. the real test hits when validator slashing risk or network resilience actually matters, not just when the chart goes up. timing beats conviction every single time tho.

Haha, really, family members do a 180-degree turn in attitude, just depends on the power of those zeros in your account.

Haha, this is Web3, real gold and silver beats talking tough --- I've said it long ago, only those who can withstand the bear market are true believers --- Now everyone in the family wants to get on board, and if they lose money later, they'll blame you --- At the moment of seven figures, it felt like the whole family believed, how funny --- Taking profits is truly an art; most people can't learn this trick --- From being nagged to being asked for advice, the feeling of turning things around is overwhelming haha --- The phrase about self-inflation during a bull market hit the nail on the head, it happens every time --- The most realistic thing is that money can really change attitudes --- Cousin wants to chase high, I advise him to learn how to read K-line charts first --- That's why I never discuss holdings with my family
