Accomplishments

  • Education Relative Program Entrepreneur


He, with a knack for spotting niche opportunities, worked in education from March 2011 to August 2013. He identified the potential of U.S. Work & Travel and Internship programs for Chinese students early on. Despite not being a pioneer and still studying, he predicted the high demand in China, foreseeing sizable profits for early entrants. Post-graduation, he successfully capitalized on the industry's late-stage growth by launching his own ventures.


Between 2011 and 2013, he facilitated the participation of 370 Chinese college students in these two projects in the United States.


  • Amazon Seller


He has a strong focus on developing niche markets. During his time as a seller on Amazon U.S., his Sky Lanterns product became the top one seller and was awarded the Amazon Choice label. In addition, other niche products, including his Taichi Series clothing line and Buddha Statue Water Fountain collection, also earned the Amazon Choice distinction.


  • Funding Broker


He successfully persuaded a major Chinese state-owned enterprise to raise RMB 500 million through a financial leasing arrangement and connected it with appropriate financial leasing lenders in the market.


  • Cryptocurrencies Investor and Trader


(1) His Logical Reasoning Method for Market Prediction.


His analysis indicates that when two investment targets, A and B, share similar attributes but operate in different markets or directions, negative developments or extreme growth in A can lead to a shift in investment towards B. The closer the alignment of attributes between A and B, the more substantial the investment transition will be.


Furthermore, if A and B are aligned in opposing directions—such as one targeting the east and the other the west—this divergence can further amplify the movement of investments from A to B.


(2) Application of Logical Reasoning in Predicting Dogecoin Trends in Jan,2021


Investment target

A: GameStop Stock Investment target

B: Dogecoin.


A and B have the same attributes:


-Support from Elon Musk Both A and B have benefited from the direct or indirect support of Elon Musk.


-Musk expressed support for GameStop during the stock's dramatic short squeeze in January 2021 with his famous tweet “Gamestonk!” alongside a link to the WallStreetBets subreddit.


Prior to this, on December 20, 2020, Musk tweeted in favor of Dogecoin with the simple phrase, “One word: Doge.”


-Grassroots Culture: Both assets reflect elements of grassroots culture. GameStop resonates with retail investors who cherish nostalgic memories from their childhood, embodying a movement driven by community rather than top-down influence.

Similarly, Dogecoin originated as a lighthearted joke, embodying a grassroots, community-driven spirit that promotes fun and engagement among its supporters.


Grassroots culture refers to movements or initiatives that originate from the bottom-up, driven by individuals or communities at a local level, rather than being orchestrated by centralized authorities or institutions.


A and B have distinct markets:


Target A operates within the traditional gaming industry, while Target B thrives in the meme-driven cryptocurrency sector.


Derivation Process


Many retail investors purchased GameStop stock to counteract the powerful Wall Street hedge funds that were shorting it, demonstrating strong community support for GameStop. In his logical reasoning, his anticipated that Dogecoin would be the next target for several reasons:


Both A and B share two highly correlated attributes: grassroots culture and Musk's backing.


Speculative targets tend to gravitate toward more free-market environments to avoid regulatory

scrutiny, making the cryptocurrency sector an ideal choice.


The enthusiasm for speculation remains strong, indicating that a new target will emerge quickly.


Outcome:


GameStop's stock skyrocketed from a closing price of $17.20 on January 4, 2021, to a peak of $380 by January 29, 2021—a remarkable 22 times increase.


Following this, Dogecoin surged from $0.00725 on January 26, 2021, to a peak of $0.08536 by February 7, 2021, marking an increase of 11.7 times.


He strategically positioned himself ahead of this trend and achieved significant gains during Dogecoin's short-term surge.


(3) Predicting cryptocurrency market cycles


By analyzing key market factors, he was able to identify both the highs and lows of the crypto cycle.


This enabled me to exit at the top of the 2021 bull market and re-enter at the bottom of the 2022 bear market.


However, he failed in March 2023


In March 2021, when Bitcoin rose past $60,000, he chose to liquidate his cryptocurrency holdings as soon as the price dropped below that threshold, despite missing its peak of $64,854 in April and $69,000 in November.


In November 2022, when Bitcoin fell below $18,000 amidst widespread negative news, he anticipated that a market bottom was near. He made strategic purchases when Bitcoin hit around $17,000, though it dropped further to $15,000.


Nonetheless, his decision to buy near the bottom of the cycle was sound in the context of the broader market trend.


Drawing from data analysis and a personal intuition, he initiated a long position in Bitcoin futures and spot leverage at the price around $17,300 on January 10, 2023. Just one day later, on January 11, 2023, Bitcoin surged from $17,000 to $25,000. He predicted that Bitcoin would surpass $50,000 within the next year.


Subsequent trends have validated his mid-term and long-term prediction.


While there are additional accomplishments from over 5 years of experience in cryptocurrency, space is limited here. Further details and achievements can be shared upon request.
