The ZIRP-Fueled Beginning

ZIRP促成的开始

It all started with zero interest rate policy (ZIRP). Flush with unexpected cash from a car deal, I dove headfirst into the crypto world in 2016, drawn by the allure of Ethereum (ETH). Buying in around $30, I watched it skyrocket, feeling like a genius as my investment multiplied. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of a rollercoaster ride.

一切始于零利率政策（ZIRP）。从汽车交易中出现意外现金，我在2016年首次进入加密货币世界，是由以太坊（Eth）的魅力（ETH）绘制的。购买约30美元左右，我看着它飞涨，当我的投资成倍增加时，感觉就像是一个天才。我几乎不知道，这只是过山车的开始。

The Fog of the 2021 Crypto War

2021年加密战争的雾

2020 and 2021 were insane. Easy money was everywhere, stimulus checks fueled meme coins like Dogecoin, and celebrities shilled NFTs. Seeing opportunity, I went full-time degenerate, trading crypto and initially misreading the market.

2020年和2021年发疯。到处都是轻松的钱，刺激检查了燃料的模因硬币，例如Dogecoin和名人SHILD NFTS。看到机会，我全职退化，交易加密货币，最初误读市场。

Finding SHIB and Riding the Wave

寻找湿巾并骑着波浪

Then came Shiba Inu (SHIB). Inspired by Dogecoin's success, I bet big on SHIB, becoming a vocal evangelist. The gigapump arrived in October, and my net worth exploded. I was comfortably in the two-comma club, with a dog coin making up half of it! It was so stupid I knew I had to sell some SHIB at that point, if nothing more than to be able to proudly say one of the dumbest sentences in existence: “I was right about Shiba Inu.”

然后是Shiba Inu（Shib）。受狗果成功的启发，我敢打赌，成为一名声乐传教士。吉普普（Gigapump）于10月到达，我的净资产爆炸了。我很舒适地在两个公共俱乐部，狗硬币构成了一半！真是太愚蠢了，我知道那时我必须出售一些什布，如果只能自豪地说出存在的最愚蠢的句子之一：“我对shiba inu是正确的。”

The Leverage Trap

杠杆陷阱

That's when greed took over. I saw my SHIB and ETH portfolio explode. As the market continued to rise, I took out a loan of 50 grand to buy more Ethereum to add to my collateral in Aave. When Ethereum’s price rose, the value of my collateral rose, and I took out another 200 grand as I believed my thesis was manifesting in the real world. Ethereum rose again, and I felt like a genius, making gobs of money hand over fist by simply clicking a few buttons. Soon I would find myself with well into six figures of debt, but it wasn’t a problem because my big bile of Ethereum was keeping my loan to value ratio (LTV) low and away from the danger zone.

那是贪婪接管的时候。我看到我的湿骨和ETH投资组合爆炸了。随着市场的不断上升，我借了50款贷款，购买了更多以太坊，以增加我的抵押品。当以太坊的价格上涨时，我的抵押品的价值玫瑰的价值，我又拿出了200个盛大的，因为我相信我的论文在现实世界中表现出来。以太坊再次升起，我觉得自己像个天才，只需单击几个按钮就可以使金钱交给拳头。很快，我会发现自己有六个债务，但这并不是一个问题，因为我的大胆汁是使我的贷款与价值比（LTV）保持较低并远离危险区。

The Crash and the Million-Dollar Loss

坠机和百万美元的损失

The great inflation print of November 2021 changed everything. As the market began to correct, I was overleveraged and unable to react quickly enough. I sold all of my Ethereum in January, February and March 2022, much of it at a loss. Leverage works until it doesn’t and I have lived this maxim. At its peak, my debt on my Ethereum was a little more than $850,000. This is how I lost a million dollars in crypto.

2021年11月的出色通货膨胀印刷改变了一切。随着市场开始纠正，我过度驾驶，无法做出足够的反应。我在2022年1月，2月和3月出售了所有以太坊，其中大部分都茫然。杠杆作用，直到不行，我已经过了这个格言。在顶峰时，我对以太坊的债务略高于85万美元。这就是我在加密货币中损失一百万美元的方式。

Lessons Learned (the Hard Way)

经验教训（艰难的方式）

The crypto saga was an expensive but valuable lesson. The panic instilled a discipline I wouldn't have gained otherwise. And the most important lesson? Stay the hell away from leverage in crypto.

加密传奇是一个昂贵但有价值的教训。恐慌灌输了我不会获得的学科。最重要的教训？远离加密货币的杠杆作用。

Meanwhile, in Meme Coin Land...

同时，在Meme Coin Land ...

While fortunes are being made and lost, the meme coin world keeps spinning. Recently, there's been a shift from Popcat to Troller Cat (TCAT), with TCAT generating buzz due to its substantial ROI during its presale. While I'm staying away from leverage, maybe Troller Cat has something to offer. But remember, always do your own research!

当命运被制造和丢失时，模因硬币界一直在旋转。最近，从爆米花到Troller Cat（TCAT）发生了转变，由于TCAT在预售期间大量投资回报率引起了嗡嗡声。当我远离杠杆作用时，也许Troller Cat可以提供一些东西。但是请记住，始终做自己的研究！

The Upshot

结果

So, what’s the takeaway? Crypto is a wild west. Fortunes can be made and lost in a blink. The key is to stay informed, manage risk, and maybe, just maybe, avoid taking financial advice from someone who lost a million dollars. But hey, at least it makes for a good story, right?

那么，收获是什么？加密是一个狂野的西部。命运可以眨眼。关键是要保持知情，管理风险，也许，也许避免从损失一百万美元的人那里获得财务建议。但是，嘿，至少这是一个好故事，对吗？
