Hello everyone, I am Yuri.

Since entering the crypto world in 2019, I have lived and accumulated experience in different places: I spent 6 years in Singapore, then returned to Shanghai, and now I am rooted in Hong Kong. Each city has given me different perspectives and shaped my understanding of this industry.

In my work, I have tried multiple roles. Early on, I worked in operations for a DeFi project with 100x returns. At that time, I was young and ambitious, and I missed many opportunities that belonged to me. Later, I was responsible for user operations and growth at an exchange, and I often participated in industry discussions and dialogues, talking with practitioners from various fields about cycles, cognition, and emotions.

To be honest, I wouldn’t consider myself a big shot, but I have indeed experienced multiple bull and bear cycles. And because of that, I have seen too many opportunities that could have led to financial freedom slip away just like that. I gradually realized a phenomenon: some people are carried away by emotions in a bull market, while others learn to settle and truly strategize in a bear market.

I want to share ideas here with all friends who believe in making money and long-term investing, and record some thoughts from real experiences. This industry is indeed very restless, but I firmly believe: find inner peace during bear markets, break through yourself during bull markets, and you will not only gain wealth but also grow.

A few long-term principles I adhere to:

**First, fast is slow, slow is fast.** The market favors those with patience. Anxiety is the most expensive cost in this market, bar none.

**Second, health always comes first.** Only with good health can you have the qualification for long-term wealth and freedom. This is not just motivational talk; it’s the fundamental foundation.

**Third, never stop learning and upgrading your cognition.** The market eliminates stubborn people and rewards those who keep evolving.

If you also believe in cycles, long-term, and the power of cognitive compounding, then we can exchange the latest ideas here and walk this path together.
