Reflecting at the end of the year, I looked at a screenshot of a diary I wrote in June 2017, just a few months after I first got into the crypto world. I directly bought all the altcoins listed on the first altcoin exchange at that time, BitEra. I invested 5,000 yuan in each coin, but back then there were only about 30 or so coins, mostly copies of BTC. The term "altcoin" came from this, because at that time there were only two concepts: BTC and altcoins based on BTC, and there were no futures contracts. And now, things have changed.
