First Coin Bought Upon Entry
Wang Jingyi first encountered cryptocurrencies in 2017, when discussions about cryptocurrencies were not as prevalent as they are today. There were few Chinese resources and the communities were relatively closed. It was during this time that a senior in his unit introduced him to cryptocurrencies and led him into the Web3 world.
Despite not being particularly proficient in English, the novelty of this technology piqued his curiosity. The deeper he delved into it, the more intriguing it became. Thus, Wang Jingyi began spending his spare time studying English materials to gain a deeper understanding of the cryptocurrency world. It wasn’t until 2018 that he actually invested money into cryptocurrencies.
When asked about his “first coin” in the crypto space, most people would likely choose mainstream options like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) as their entry points. However, Wang Jingyi, known for his adventurous nature, offered a different answer.
“The first coin I bought upon entering the crypto space was from an ICO,” Wang Jingyi said with a smile. Introduced by a friend at the time, he made the decision to invest his initial funds in the crypto market almost without conducting any research beforehand.
“Initial Coin Offerings” (ICOs) once sparked an investment frenzy in 2017. However, many of these ICO projects turned out to be flashy but lacking in practical goals or value, and most ended hastily.
Wang Jingyi recalled that this investment experience left a deep impression on him. Fortunately, he did not fall victim to ICO project scams (though now the token price has plummeted to virtually nothing), and he even multiplied his investment several times over. “I invested 150,000 yuan initially and ended up making 4 million yuan.”
However, the gains were quickly reinvested back into the market, and this experience taught him the high risks and high returns of investing in cryptocurrencies.
A Day in the Life of a Trader
Wang Jingyi is currently a full-time trader, with about 70% of his positions on OKX and the rest spread across various international exchanges such as Bybit, MEXC, Flipster, BingX, Backpack, and Kucoin, engaging in contract and options trading for various blockchain projects.
The reason he decided to become a trader was simple: “I wanted to make money!”
Wang Jingyi pointed out that young people investing in stocks often face issues such as insufficient capital and high transaction costs for odd lots, which is why he chose to explore a relatively novel field. Although the learning curve for cryptocurrencies is steep, the barrier to entry is relatively low. “You can start with just 500 or 1,000 yuan, and there’s a higher chance of turning 500 yuan into 50,000 yuan.”
Since becoming a trader, “watching the market” has become the most important part of his day.
Wang Jingyi shared that he typically wakes up around 8 or 9 a.m. and the first thing he does is check for any major events or tokens that require attention during his sleep. Once satisfied that everything is in order, he heads to the gym and eats something. The rest of his day is spent in a coffee shop, monitoring the market, researching projects, or exploring new opportunities. Even when he returns home at night, he continues with tasks like filming and editing videos, all while monitoring or executing trades. “It’s really just watching the market all day, looking for opportunities on the blockchain.”
A trader’s day is immersed in the fluctuating numbers day after day. “Trading can be really boring,” Wang Jingyi admitted, “but because I’m interested in making money, as long as I believe there’s profit to be made, I can be patient and keep going.”
In addition to trading, Wang Jingyi continues to research various sectors within the crypto space. “I
