It's that time of year again, International Women's Day. (Forgive me for not wanting to use the word "women" haha 😆) Actually, in this circle, I rarely see myself as a "female." Gender has never been a shield, nor a disadvantage label. It's fair and cruel here; I won't get a break just because I'm a girl. Only on Women's Day do some exchanges offer special little gifts, and I suddenly realize: oh, I am still a girl! I stumbled into Web3 by chance. A few years ago, a fund blogger I followed shared about the crypto world, and I got curious and started researching. The first group I joined was a scam group, and a trading teacher scammed me out of nearly 100 ETH, but I was playing mahjong that day and escaped a disaster. I avoided that pit, but didn't miss any of the others. Then came various stories of spot trading crashes and contract liquidations, along with family issues; a series of blows left me depressed for over half a year, even affecting my real job, so I resigned and stayed home to recuperate. But Web3, the circle closest to money, with all its stories of getting rich quickly, kept me restless. I started looking for ways to survive beyond the secondary market. I joined many groups, studied Twitter, researched airdrops, and shared my various experiences of gains and losses, focusing on authenticity. Slowly, I built a small community, and project teams began to reach out to promote, and my income stabilized, getting back on track. In these years in Web3, I haven't achieved anything particularly great. My execution isn't strong; I've never made a huge profit. My trading skills are poor, and I haven't gotten rich overnight. But I've experienced many black swan events, and each drawdown and recovery forced me to engrave the word "stability" into my bones, clumsily finding my own rhythm in this circle. 〰️〰️〰️〰️ On this Women's Day, I want to share some insights as an ordinary girl who has no trading talent, doesn't create drama or traffic, and has no connections, with other sisters who are exploring in Web3 or just entering the field: 1️⃣ Don't be bound by gender labels. This circle doesn't care whether you're male or female; focusing your energy on improving your understanding, reviewing, and building systems is more reliable than any "female-exclusive benefits." 2️⃣ Start small and accumulate compound interest. Airdrops and sharing are low-barrier ways to start; learn as you go, slowly building your information channels and connections. The compound effect will be more powerful than you think. 3️⃣ Protect your principal; it's more important than seizing opportunities. Learn to cut losses, diversify risks, and maintain cash flow to qualify for the next round of opportunities. Finally, I wish all the sisters fighting on the Web3 battlefield: Happy Women's Day! 🌹 ✨ May we all live the way we want with reason and wisdom.
