Thank you crypto and thank you BNB. They gave me the opportunity to wear a Patek Philippe that I never even dared to dream of before. Crypto really can change lives.
Back in 2022, I already loved the Rolex Daytona, and that watch sat on my collection list for three years. It wasn't that I couldn't afford it—I earned the money shortly after entering the crypto world—but I never actually bought it. Because I knew very well that being able to afford it and being willing to spend the money were two different things, especially at that stage. I preferred to keep my money where it could continue to generate returns and create opportunities. Collecting is essentially an investment, and my thinking at the time was that nothing other than crypto should tie up my funds.
I finally bought that Daytona in the middle of this year. When I picked it up, Link kept recommending Patek Philippe to me, saying that I could afford one now. But my first reaction was resistance. A watch costing over a million RMB was, in my past understanding, an extremely extravagant thing. Later in the year, the market performed well, and my account balance improved. I repeatedly asked myself if this moment was truly worthwhile.
Ultimately, my decision wasn't based on showing off or impulsiveness, but on a clear feeling. I realized I was no longer someone who had to meticulously calculate every penny. Some things had become milestones, not burdens. So, riding this wave of market activity, I bought it.
Many times, I think back to earlier times. In middle school, I walked too close to my teacher's Audi A8, and she told me not to get too close, saying she couldn't afford to pay for it if she damaged it. That remark wasn't malicious at the time, but it left a deep impression on me. I silently vowed that one day I would be able to stand beside anything I wanted to approach without having to back down.
Today, looking down at my watch, I suddenly realized that what truly changed me wasn't a particular watch, but Crypto—not just the result, but the path that led me here step by step. The scenery was beautiful.



Why didn't you use the money you spent on the watch to buy more Aster and Airbnb shares?
You're disloyal.
The amount shown is less than a fraction of my NB+Aster holdings; a little more or less makes no difference. Go buy NB!
This is the first time I've heard that "pp" has this meaning.
