Here's a "true story" from before I entered the crypto world 👇

In 2014, I won 14 million yuan in the lottery.
After taxes, I took home nearly 11 million yuan.
Suddenly having this kind of money, my first reaction wasn't happiness, but:
How can I really preserve this money?
The first thing I did was buy a house.
I paid in full for a property, costing over 4 million yuan.
After buying the house, I still had more than 5 million yuan left.
Since I had been working in sales before, I always felt that money shouldn't just sit idle, so I took out 1 million yuan and partnered with friends to start a company.
The company operated for over a year.
The reality was—losing money, and eventually shutting down.
But interestingly,
During that year, the value of the house I bought doubled.
In total, my assets approached 15 million yuan.
At that moment, I felt a bit anxious:
The housing prices are rising so fast, will they fall back again?
So I made a decision—
Sell that house.
Then buy a smaller one, costing about 2 million yuan.
I still had around 10 million yuan in cash.
At that time, bank savings interest rates were over 4%.
The annual interest was about 500,000 yuan.
That’s over 40,000 yuan a month.
So I started living a very “simple and unpretentious” life:
Eating, drinking, traveling everywhere, doing nothing.
This kind of life lasted for half a year.
And I realized one thing:
The longer you're idle, the more bored you get.
Later, I entered the crypto space.
But now that I think about it—
If I hadn’t just been busy,
I would have gone to claim the Binance ALPHA airdrop and interacted a bit with @TermMaxFi
Otherwise, I could probably spin this story for another two hours 🤣
