Luna's collapse directly destroyed 70% of my portfolio. Then the FTX storm took away the remaining. The bear market is like a prolonged war, and at that time, I was on the verge of collapse.

The turning point came with the news of BlackRock's Bitcoin spot ETF—around January 2024, Bitcoin was hovering between 20K and 25K. The institutional-level signal changed everything. I realized this could be a real turning point and started to bet heavily. Every day I was researching, trading, and adjusting my positions to not miss this cycle.

The blow of the bear market taught me a lesson: without external salvation, opportunities are created by oneself. The entry of giants like BlackRock itself is a signal—traditional finance is finally starting to take this market seriously. From that moment on, the strategy became one word: action. Not blindly, but doubling down within confirmed cycles. If it weren’t for this clear understanding supporting every decision... I might still be in that despairing place.

That wave of Luna and FTX was truly incredible, almost bankrupted me. Luckily, I managed to get on board in time later.

Luna's wave really was a bloodbath, but just being able to crawl out of the ruins means you've already won most of the battle. I also felt it when BlackRock entered the market; the endorsement from traditional finance is indeed different. This cycle is tightly grasped, let's go.

That wave of Luna and FTX was truly incredible; I also learned a painful lesson... But honestly, it was only when I saw institutions pouring in real money that I understood what a turning point looks like. When giants like BlackRock step in, how can you not follow? I think it's just about being a bit greedy—taking advantage of the cycle to make a big move.

Well... Luna's wave was really a textbook-level wipeout, but on the other hand, those who can crawl out of despair are all tough guys. Wait, did BlackRock's entry really change the atmosphere? Or was it actually just a psychological effect... It's really just about doing it; not overthinking it and still making money—that logic I understand. The time when Luna and FTX crashed together, I even scraped my nails off, and I'm still in recovery. Institutional entry is definitely worth watching, but the risks are always there. Honestly, those who had the courage to go all-in at 20-25K must have something special.
