#我的Gate时刻#

At 4:18 AM, a cup of black coffee wakes up the morning, putting on the Gate quick-dry battle suit, with a clear goal - the Huangguoshu Half Marathon.
Before setting off, I checked the live broadcast room and saw some friends asking about the operational details of the course. Suddenly, I felt a sense of small accomplishment in my heart, realizing that the carefully crafted "signal robot" course content can really help everyone.
21.99 kilometers, 2 hours 11 minutes 30 seconds, average pace of 6 minutes. Three salt tablets sustained me throughout the entire course, I didn't touch any energy gels, and at 19 kilometers my calves slightly cramped, but fortunately, the weather was pleasant, with a cool, cloudy day all the way. Finished safely, stretched, showered, had a meal, and then it was time to prepare for the live broadcast.

Actually, what I want to talk about today is such an ordinary morning. While running, I was thinking about how to express my feelings for Gate. Perhaps the stories hidden in the tickets are more real than a thousand words.

Back to September 24, 2019, the "night of terror" that people in the crypto world can't forget. As soon as the document from ten ministries was released, cryptocurrencies instantly collapsed, with hundreds of billions in market value evaporating, 246 accounts being liquidated, and those with 10x leverage losing up to 70 million. I wasn't spared either; the 500,000 in pledged assets in my Gate account was instantly liquidated due to extreme market conditions. It might not mean much to the big players, but for us small retail investors, that's a significant portion of our assets. At that time, I only felt like the sky was falling, without considering that the next day I would see Gate's announcement: cash refunds for accounts that were liquidated due to extreme market conditions.

With the mindset of "treating a dead horse as a live horse," I submitted a support ticket, and a few days later, those staked funds surprisingly returned intact. It felt like winning the lottery, or like being handed a cup of hot soup in the cold winter. Just in time for the National Day holiday that year, I typed "Happy Holidays" countless times in the customer service chat box, yet it still didn't feel enough.

The money became my "reset button." Later, I traveled to Guangzhou, Beijing, and then to hundreds of cities in 26 provinces across the country, with the shadow of Gate accompanying every step of my journey. In 2022, I initiated the topics #带着Gate去旅行# and #带些Gate去运动# , and now, hidden within the nearly 100,000 heat points are the paths I have walked. I remember in the Guangxi Autonomous Region Museum, I coincidentally met Evan, an American guy returning a historical album. Faced with the live recording from Xinhua News Agency and Guangxi Provincial Television, I blurted out, "I am Dazhi, traveling with Gate" — at that moment, the gaze behind the camera might have been surprised, but I knew that without 100% trust, I couldn't have said those words.

Nowadays, every day is closely tied to Gate: I send #带些Gate去运动# after my morning run, and occasionally I even become the community leader; just like today after finishing my run, looking at the "21.99 kilometers" in the data, I suddenly feel that this number is like a heartfelt message: my feelings for Gate should be "love should last long."

Dear Dr. Han, and every partner at Gate: Along this journey, I appreciate the support that has embraced my anxiety and witnessed my growth. On the road ahead, I still wish to carry Gate with me, to run further and walk longer.
