The myth of wealth in the crypto world has always been an enduring topic. Around me, there are individuals who started with just 100,000 USDT and, through contracts, achieved returns of 1.5 million USDT in merely a year. This both makes me envious and compels me to reflect on my past.

As a veteran who began exploring blockchain and crypto assets in 2014, I bitterly realize that over these years, I’ve missed at least five opportunities to become a billionaire.

Full text: 4,000 words, approximately a 5-minute read. Stranger, would you pause for 5 minutes to hear my story?

The First Time: 2014 — The Dawn of Bitcoin
In 2014, Bitcoin’s price fluctuated between $300 and $400. I was somewhat aware of Bitcoin back then, and a friend encouraged me to buy some. “This is the digital currency of the future!” he exclaimed excitedly. Yet, I hesitated: Could this really be reliable? Especially with the flood of negative news in the media — terms like “dark web” and “scam” made me wary.
I still remember that evening when I opened the trading platform. My finger hovered over the “Buy” button for a full ten minutes before I closed the tab. At the time, spending $10,000 could have bought 25 Bitcoin, which today would be worth nearly $2.5 million! Looking back, I only needed a bit of courage to change my life forever.

The Second Time: 2017 — The Ethereum and ICO Frenzy
In 2017, Ethereum’s concept completely reshaped my understanding of crypto. The potential of smart contracts made Ethereum a hot commodity, with its price soaring from under $10 at the start of the year to over $700 by year’s end. That year, my inbox was bombarded with ICO project ads: “Invest from just 1 ETH for returns as high as 10x!” Yet, I was overly cautious, fearing it might be a Ponzi scheme, and ultimately remained a spectator.
What haunts me most is missing Ethereum’s own growth. I had the chance to buy in at $200, but held back out of fear it might drop further. By 2021, Ethereum’s price had surpassed $4,000, which would have yielded at least a 20x return.

The Third Time: 2020 — The Wealth Wave of DeFi
In 2020, the concept of DeFi swept through the crypto market. Protocols like Uniswap and Aave saw explosive user growth, and liquidity mining became the new pathway to riches. A friend shared that he used just a regular computer to provide liquidity on Uniswap and earned double his principal in a month.
Deeply intrigued, I tried out a few projects but became timid after some losses, fearing a market correction would wipe out my gains. As a result, I invested very little and ultimately missed out on AAVE’s remarkable growth from $20 to $600. In hindsight, this wave of DeFi was like a crypto gold rush, but I merely scratched the surface.

The Fourth Time: 2021 — My Greatest Regret
Doge experienced an explosive rise starting in early 2021. Fueled by Elon Musk’s Twitter hype and endorsements from other celebrities, its price surged nearly 100x in a few months, marking my most significant regret.
Back in 2015, by sheer chance, I had been gifted some Dogecoin as a “bonus” from a project team I collaborated with. At the time, the Meme coin concept was still synonymous with “air coins,” and Doge’s value was a mere 1/7000th of its 2021 price.
Over six years, this “worthless” air coin was forgotten amidst wallet changes and exchange updates. By the time I tried to recover it, it was long gone, leaving me with my greatest regret.

The Fifth Time: 2023 — The Wild Rise of Meme Coins
In 2023, the Meme coin market entered another frenzy. Projects like Pepe Coin (PEPE) and Dogen grabbed headlines. A friend shared how he turned a $500 investment in PEPE into $50,000 within a few months. Armed with my lessons from Dogecoin, I began investing in Meme coins, but I considered tokens like PEPE overpriced.
While I put money into some lesser-known Meme coins, they didn’t perform well, and the ones I thought were at their peak continued soaring in value.

The Wealth Missed Behind These Opportunities
Looking back, I realize it wasn’t the market that truly held me back — it was my mindset and perception.
Hesitation, caution, and fear of risk repeatedly caused me to miss wealth opportunities.
A lack of understanding meant that even when I dabbled in the market, I failed to choose the right path.

What about you? Have you missed opportunities too? The crypto market’s story continues, and perhaps the next life-changing wave is just around the corner.

Don’t let “missed opportunities” define your journey!
Don’t let “lack of knowledge” hinder your progress!
