I am a cryptocurrency analyst who not only writes market analysis reports, but also runs a cryptocurrency education platform. That day on Telegram, a user with the ID "Daniel" sent me a private message saying that he appreciated my Bitcoin weekly report.

At first, I thought it was just an ordinary reader exchange, but the perspective of the question he raised was very unique. It was not simply asking whether the price of Bitcoin would rise, but discussing the role of Bitcoin in the global payment system. He is a quantitative researcher working in traditional financial institutions, but he is curious about decentralized finance. Our conversation extended from technical analysis to the Austrian School of Economics, and then to the vision of the future monetary system.

We finally met at a Web3 summit two weeks later. He looks more elegant than in the photo, standing at 1.85 meters tall with simple yet sophisticated attire - a dark blue suit, white shirt, no tie, and a low-key Patek Philippe on his wrist. What attracts me the most is his focused gaze and occasional warm smile when discussing issues.

After the meeting, he asked me if I wanted to go for coffee. At Blue Bottle, the conversation naturally shifted towards individual experiences. He said he admires my insight into the potential of Bitcoin at the age of 24 and asked how I convinced my family to support me in switching careers. You are very brave, "he said," not everyone dares to maintain an open attitude towards new things.

Afterwards, we started meeting more. He took me to a classical music concert, and I invited him to attend a cryptocurrency seminar. Once when the market plummeted, I anxiously stared at the candlestick chart and he sent me a piece of Nassim Taleb's article on anti fragility. You always know to say the right thing at the right time, "I found my fondness for him slowly deepening.

What moved me the most was that he respected my professional abilities and often discussed investment strategies with me. He said, 'Your intuition about the market is very accurate, to some extent more sensitive than our traditional financial practitioners.' This equal way of communication makes me feel valued.

At a wine tasting event, we talked about each other's plans for the future. Although we come from different financial worlds, "he said," perhaps that's the most interesting part. "I completely agree that the collision of tradition and innovation often sparks the most brilliant sparks.

Looking back now, perhaps it was because of Bitcoin that I met someone who could both appreciate my expertise and tolerate my occasional crazy ideas. In this era of rapid technological advancement, we have found the most unexpected romance.
