During that time on the factory assembly line, piecework wages were 6 yuan an hour, and I took home 5200 yuan a month. Sometimes, working overtime for 4 hours to meet deadlines, I would only earn about twenty more yuan in a day. Back then, I really couldn't see any hope.

Later, I got involved with crypto assets and the Web3 ecosystem, and my entire life trajectory changed. Honestly, without this transformation, I might still be on that same line doing the same thing over and over.

Reaching where I am today wouldn't have been possible without the support and trust of everyone in the community. Seeing many friends going through tough times now, I want to say—don't give up, keep moving forward. There will always be a turning point in life.

The factory's pathetic wages are really terrible; working overtime is not even as good as sleeping. Luckily, I jumped on the Web3 train.

This is us. The assembly line really can wear people out. Six dollars an hour, and overtime isn't worth much. I understand that feeling. Only after entering Web3 did I realize what it means to break the deadlock. Not everyone will have the opportunity to encounter this chance. Persistence can indeed lead to a turnaround, but we also have to admit that luck plays a significant role.

This is our story, from the assembly line to the blockchain. Honestly, without Web3, we might still be spinning in circles there. Come on, that overtime pay probably got eaten by the system. Luckily, I managed to get out in time. The crypto world really saved my life, no joke. The community members are indeed very loyal. Stop spamming and pouring chicken soup, but this time it really hit the point. Many people just need a chance to shift their mindset. What should you persist in? You need to have the right direction. But your experience indeed gives people hope.

Bro, I've heard this story too many times, but it still hits me every time. That part about the assembly line was truly despairing; working overtime for half a day only earns a few dozen bucks... I understand that feeling. Web3 has saved a lot of people; as long as you haven't been rug-pulled, you're a winner haha
