#美联储联邦公开市场委员会决议 🚀 From roadside stalls to crypto assets: an ordinary person's comeback story



There are many legendary stories in the crypto world, but few like Guo Hongcai—who truly started from zero and worked his way up steadily. Compared to those who come from formal backgrounds and elite training, his experience is more like a textbook for ordinary people to learn from.

🐂 The starting point was actually very humble: selling beef

He didn't attend college; he dropped out after high school. Initially, he just ran a beef stall, making a living through skill and physical effort. Back in 2013, Bitcoin was still a unfamiliar term in China, but he made up his mind to invest all his capital into it. This wasn't some strategic plan; frankly, it was a gamble—yet he bet right on that epic bull market.

⚡️ The real turning point: the mining years

This was where wisdom was truly tested. Building a mining farm was like a textbook example of entrepreneurship gone wrong:

**Inner Mongolia trial failure**: Early on, he set up a mining farm in Inner Mongolia. The electricity costs were shocking, almost burning through all his capital.

**The move in Sichuan**: He quickly shifted to a mountain area in Sichuan with hydropower. Taking advantage of the cheap electricity during flood season, he managed to survive. This step marked his transformation from a "gambler" to an "entrepreneur."

This experience is actually a microcosm of Chinese miners' survival—grasping the most tangible factor, cost, can turn everything around.

🎤 The current situation is a bit complicated

From roadside stalls to major crypto assets, and then to being an "accumulating coin evangelist" online. His story has indeed inspired many to enter the market, but some also feel that his narrative has a bit of a pyramid scheme vibe. No matter how you see it, his phrase "ordinary people can also make a comeback" has become the most shareable message.

💎 What can we learn from him?

The road is hard to copy, but his mindset is worth pondering:

**Daring to gamble**: In the early days of the era, having the courage to bet was more effective than precise calculations.

**Using the simplest methods**: Cost advantages are not based on concepts but on finding the most straightforward differences like electricity and location.

**The story itself is also an asset**: In the crypto world, personal comeback stories can spread farther than anything else.

He caught the wave of the era's dividends and does have some skills. Can you learn from his success? The risk is for you to calculate. But that spirit of finding ways in adversity and not being afraid to start over—it's worth learning from.

Honestly, luck plays a big role. That was definitely a golden age of just lying back and winning.

Honestly, catching the right era's opportunity can indeed change your fate, but can it still be replicated now? The advantage of low electricity costs has long been wiped out.
