Three years ago, my wife always said that my crypto trading was "gambling." At my in-laws' dinner table, relatives looked at me askance and asked, "I heard you're into Bitcoin? Isn't that stuff a scam?" I silently picked at my food, and my explanations sounded pale. Back then, BTC was still struggling at $30,000, ETH had just broken $2000, and the market was filled with bearish sentiment. Relatives advised me to "get a steady job" while showing off their children passing civil service exams, buying houses and cars. I clenched my shrinking holdings in my hand and didn't even dare to share a screenshot of my real account in the family group chat.



When my real trading profits first exceeded seven figures, I threw a screenshot of my account to 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, when I visited my father-in-law's house, the relatives' attitude 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 tutorial on registration, KYC, and spot buying. My father-in-law sipped his wine and muttered, "If I knew he could make it doing this, I should have invested some back then..."
Once mocked as a "non-serious side job," now it has 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 blown up their accounts understand reverence. #加密市场开年反弹 #加密市场开年反弹 #我的2026第一条帖 #特朗普突袭委内瑞拉 $BTC $ETH
