When Trump was elected last year, TrumpCoin suddenly became popular. I was just entering the TrumpCoin scene at that time, knew nothing, and thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich quick. I quickly took the money I had and bought in.

At first, everything went so smoothly. The coin prices kept rising, and the money in my account grew more and more. Watching those numbers jump every day, I felt like I was a trading genius. I thought I could make a fortune just by casually buying and selling.

Greed can make people do stupid things. I wasn't satisfied with just holding spot assets; I impulsively started trading high-risk contracts. From then on, I couldn’t sleep through the night. My mind was full of market movements. Every two or three hours, I forced myself to get up and trade. My eyes turned red from exhaustion, and I was almost worn out, but I still had this drive to make more money.

But markets don’t always go your way. Gradually, I started losing money. The more I lost, the more anxious I became. The more anxious I was, the more reckless my trades. I initially made some profit, but I lost it all back and even ended up in debt. That night, I was wiped out—lost fifty thousand in a single night. When I saw my account wiped clean, I was stunned. I felt like my insides were torn apart with regret. I sat there for a long time, unable to recover, with no strength to cry.

After hiding it for a few days, I couldn’t take it anymore and confessed to my wife. I thought she would scold me and argue with me. But she didn’t say a word. She just gently patted me and said, “If the money is gone, it’s gone. We’ll earn it back slowly. As long as we’re healthy, that’s what matters.” At that moment, I felt my nose sting and almost cried.

Since then, I never touched contracts again. All those reckless ideas disappeared. I focused on steady, regular spot investments. Now I realize there’s no such thing as overnight riches. It’s just greed at work. Compared to superficial wealth, my wife’s understanding and a stable life are the most precious.
