With a deep understanding of blockchain technology, he has achieved success in the field of cryptocurrency. Despite his successful career, his social circle is relatively narrow, and he usually spends more time researching the market and new technologies. One day, he decided to try to expand his circle through online social platforms.
Li Ming met Xiaoya on a social platform focusing on technology and finance. Xiaoya is a financial analyst who is interested in Bitcoin and blockchain technology. She wrote in her profile: “I love exploring new things, especially the future of cryptocurrency.” Li Ming was attracted by her profile and took the initiative to send a message:
“Hello, I see that you are interested in cryptocurrency. I am also a Bitcoin enthusiast. I am studying Layer 2 technology recently. I wonder if you have paid attention to it?”
Xiaoya quickly replied:
“Hello! Layer 2 is indeed a hot topic. I have also been watching the progress of Optimism and Arbitrum recently. Which one do you think has more potential?”
The two chatted from technology to market trends and found that they had many common topics.
After a few weeks of online communication, Li Ming proposed to meet offline. They chose a quiet cafe with an elegant environment, which was suitable for in-depth communication. Li Ming arrived early and ordered an Americano, and also ordered a cup of matcha latte for Xiaoya, which she liked.
After meeting, the two chatted very speculatively. Li Ming shared his early experience of investing in Bitcoin, and Xiaoya talked about the challenges she encountered in the traditional financial industry. They also discussed the impact of blockchain technology on the future and even talked about the potential of decentralized finance (DeFi).
Li Ming always maintained eye contact while listening to Xiaoya, showing his respect and interest in her.
When Xiaoya mentioned that she had insomnia due to Bitcoin price fluctuations, Li Ming joked, “Then you should be used to it now, after all, Bitcoin’s fluctuations are like a roller coaster.” Xiaoya was amused.
Li Ming brought a book on blockchain technology as a meeting gift. Xiaoya was very surprised and thought he was very thoughtful.
After the first date, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. They began to meet frequently, attended blockchain industry conferences together, and even co-authored an analytical article on the cryptocurrency market. Li Ming also taught Xiaoya how to store Bitcoin safely, and Xiaoya helped Li Ming better understand the operation of traditional financial markets.
A few months later, Li Ming and Xiaoya’s relationship became more solid. They planned a trip together, with the destination being Japan, a country with a high acceptance of cryptocurrency. In a high-end restaurant in Tokyo, Li Ming raised his glass and said to Xiaoya:
“Thank you for letting me see more possibilities beyond Bitcoin. Let’s explore the future together.”
Xiaoya smiled and responded:
“Whether it’s blockchain or life, I’m willing to go on with you.”
After a passionate dinner, the two went to a high-end hotel hand in hand and spent countless passionate and high nights together!
