Three years ago, my wife always said that I was "gambling" when I traded cryptocurrencies. At the dinner table with my father-in-law's family, relatives looked at me askance and asked, "I hear you're into Bitcoin? Isn't that stuff a scam?" I silently shoveled my food, and my explanation sounded pale. At that time, BTC was still struggling around $30,000, ETH had just broken through $2,000, and the market was filled with bearish sentiment. Relatives both advised me to "get a steady job" and boasted about their children passing civil service exams, buying houses and cars. I clenched my shrinking positions in my hand, too afraid to even post a screenshot of my actual profit in the family group chat.



When my trading account's profit first broke seven figures, I threw a screenshot of my account at my wife: "Look, this is what you've been calling 'gambling' for three years." She stared at the screen in silence for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I'll cook tonight, and you teach me how to buy coins." Turns out, the account balance is the best persuasion.

Last week, I visited my father-in-law's house, and the relatives' attitudes completely reversed:

Cousin rubbed his hands and asked, "Bro, can I still buy ETH now? I heard it could go up to 10,000?"

Even the most sarcastic uncle-in-law from back then came over: "Um... what's the safest way to store Bitcoin? Which wallet should I use?"

I smiled and opened the exchange app, giving a live demonstration of registration, KYC, and spot trading. My father-in-law sipped his wine and mumbled, "If I had known he could do this, I should have invested a little back then..."

What was once mocked as "unproductive side business" has now become the most reliable side hustle for the whole family. But I know: in a bull market, everyone thinks they are a genius; only those who have been wiped out understand true reverence. #加密市场反弹 #SOL价格预测 #GUSD双重收益 #美联储降息预测 #Post on the forum to get $50
