Editor 's note: Luck is not accidental, but a skill that is obtained through preparation, persistence and reflection. JEFF reviews his investment mistakes and growth process. How to learn from failure through continuous learning and adjustment strategies, he draws experience from failure, and finally finds his own investment direction. The article reminds readers that the cryptocurrency market is full of fluctuations and successfully depends on continuous efforts, adaptation and courage, not just luck.

The following is the original content (in order to facilitate reading understanding, the original content has been reorganized):

15 years ago, when I was playing DOTA, there was a YouTube series called "Luck is not an excuse." In the show, players defeat their opponents and win through accurate positions and operations.

I tried to copy these moments, but failed. Is it because I am not lucky enough, or because I have not worked hard? In other words, I need to become stronger.

In the field of cryptocurrency, the same logic is applicable. You see others earn the wealth of changing life from cryptocurrencies, and you think, "Why can't I do it?" This feeling prompted you to act — you buy Trump, chase into Vine, find the next popular coin Species, participate in narrative.

Of course, if you understand the operation of the market, you may be lucky. But if you don't understand, you may be worse than the beginning.

I have been in contact with cryptocurrencies since the end of 2021 -then the apex of the bull market. My first investment was Cake, which was attracted by its 70-100% annualized return. As a result, I lost 30% within a week because CAKE plummeted. I didn't understand it at the time, thinking it was a bad asset.

Then, I discovered that Time Wonderland, its 50,000% annualized income and the famous calculator attracted me: "Invest 1,000, and change to 1m by pledge and compound interest after a year. (3,3) The result of "" results.

I lost money and learned the lessons of "distribution". A few months later, I learned the importance of the team in the web3 project through solidly. In the end, I found my own direction in the distribution project of Pinksale Finance, and made a profit from it to invest funds into the Launchpad project of Bybit, and then earned 140% of the annualized income on Abracadabra. Three months later, I made a mistake.

I devoted most of the funds to Lockdrop and LBA projects of Terra Ecology, locking the US to maximize the tokens. Unfortunately, the collapse of UST's anchor and Terra Luna made me lose all my funds. In despair, I tried to restore the loss by shorting LUNA, but it was liquidated at the time of rebound. In the end, I fell from nearly six digits assets to $ 500.

But this experience gave me the job of @Thespartangroup as a project consultant. Later, I started this account and wrote about DEFI. In early 2023, I discovered @CamelotDex and other Arbitrum Defi projects, analyzed and shared my opinion with the community, and my Twitter account broke out.

From 2023 to 2024, I drifted in the market and sometimes lacking motivation. Defi innovation slows, L1/L2/L3 has become fragmented, and life has changed.

Until August 2024, a conversation with the@vtes369 and @Chasmnetwork team made me start to study AI in depth. Without a formal AI background, I started to learn retail -oriented AI partners and agents, and finally found @Virtuals_io. In the phone with @Everythingempt0, he explained the vision of Virtuals to agreed to the AI ​​agent to the AI. I suddenly enlightened and thought of the feeling when I discovered @Pendle_Fi in 2023.

Just as PENDLE will be available to token, Virtuals also aims to replace AI to token, which may be a billions of dollars markets. The creativity of the team made me believe in their vision. I invested in Virtual at a market value of 30M. After the platform was started, my investment idea was verified. I participated in depth, created articles about AI agents and established a supported community.

This is not showing off, I still have a long way to go. The point is: in cryptocurrencies, you must learn from errors, adapting and continuously improved. Toughness is the key. The market will rise, fall, or horizontal, and interest may subscribe, but you must continue to participate, maintain learning, and support others. If you persist long enough, luck will stand on your side.

The experience I learned in cryptocurrency:

1. Do your own research.

2. Form your own views and theories.

3. Reflection of your mistakes.

4. Participate in the market every day.

My daily:

1. View@Cookiedotfun,@Decentralisedco and @Goatindexai acquisition trends.

2. Track the selected Twitter timeline in the AI ​​field.

3. Write a content every day to consolidate my thinking and share it with others.

Those who earned millions from $ 500 are not lucky. They spent countless hours in the trenches of cryptocurrencies and experienced the test of failure, persistence and toughness.

Many people see these success and think that this is easy, but this is not the case. The truth is: luck is a skill. It is obtained by preparation, consistency, and courage to persist in the predicament.

Cryptocurrencies, like life, are a marathon, not sprint. You may fall or bottom out, but the only real failure is to stop trying.

The market is not over. Alpha still exists, waiting to be found. The best time to invest is when everything is in a trough, and the streets are full of panic. At that time, the opportunity was hidden in front of you -people waiting for only dare to discover.

Success has accumulated through years of hard work, reflection, and continuous growth. Therefore, keep on, continue to learn, and continue to believe. Your lucky breakthrough is not waiting, but your efforts you have made today are paving the way for it.
