After entering a bear market, I decided to open a stock account and try my luck. Instead of only going all-in on the crypto world, why not pursue both stocks and cryptocurrencies—honestly, this decision changed my outlook on 2025.

Looking back, how much we used to look down on the traditional stock market. But over the past year, the big A-shares have given BTC several slaps in the face. Bitcoin, once so high and mighty, now has to serve tea and water.

Really, I have to admit defeat. Turns out, you can be this strong too. Perhaps this is what the market has taught me: never underestimate any asset class. Diversified allocation actually leads to a more comfortable life.
