Shenzhen University 2018 graduate Zhang Yufeng donated 50 million yuan to his alma mater a year after graduating by earning wealth through virtual currency.

"Friends around me often say that they were born at the wrong time, missing out on Taobao in 2008, WeChat in 2013, and TikTok in 2018, but a bigger wave is surging beneath our feet. Web3 is opening a new world for young people: from SBF to ordinary individuals, everyone should leap into this blue ocean."

On September 27, the topic "Shenzhen University Class of 2018 Alumni Donates 50 Million" exploded on social networks, with astonishment and speculation flying. Tags like "son of Tencent CTO," "founder of Singapore ABD Capital," and "CEO of a certain company" were wildly attached to this mysterious alumnus. This article will deeply restore the legendary story of this self-made crypto genius—Zhang Yufeng. His in-circle ID is @octopusfeng, hereinafter referred to as oct.

Chapter One: The Path of Breaking Out of the Cocoon—From Trading Novice to Crypto Hunter#

Although the internet has various opinions about oct's identity, two points are undoubtedly true: he graduated from Shenzhen University in 2018 with a major in International Trade and created the wealth myth of "donating 50 million two years after graduation" during the employment winter. When the narrative of "children from poor families" faced a trust crisis, insiders revealed the truth: this Web3 trendsetter is actually a crypto trading genius who once worked at the FTX exchange.

In the fall of 2018, the newly enrolled oct was no different from his peers, filled with confusion about the future. Reflecting on the past, he candidly admitted that he held a strong prejudice against trading, especially cryptocurrencies, believing that all traders were gamblers and that hedge fund profits relied entirely on capital advantages. "This is pure gambling," young oct once concluded.

The turning point came at the end of 2020. When the news of #Bitcoin breaking $30,000 swept mainstream media, most people scoffed, but oct chose to put aside his prejudices and dive into the market. This decision quietly turned the gears of fate.

If traders can be divided into doers and dreamers, oct is undoubtedly the former. Even after achieving his first six-figure profit by investing in Bilibili and Xiaomi, he resolutely shifted to the crypto market. In this primal jungle of the weak eating the strong, oct displayed a cheetah-like sharpness: after lying in wait for several months, he locked onto his first prey—$SOL.

Thanks to the deep research habits cultivated in the primary market, oct conducted a comprehensive dissection of SOL: while Ethereum is good, its gas fees are high, much like "congested New York," whereas SOL is precisely the "new land of smart contracts with low gas fees." His investment logic focused on two core points:

(1) Strong whale effect: The concept of the token and price trends often diverge, with SOL backed by the giant FTX. Just as BNBChain is to Binance and OKChain is to OKX, exchanges will certainly support their own public chains with full force.

(2) Builder consensus: Entrepreneurs vote with real money. The quality of the SOL hackathon is top-notch among public chains, and builders have already voted with their feet.

The real test began after the purchase. After going all-in on SOL at the beginning of 2021, the token continued to decline, breaking $1 multiple times, and the massive pullback put oct through great torment. But fate ultimately favored the steadfast: SOL soared from $3 to over $200, creating a wealth of millions.

Today, this all-in strategy may be hard to replicate, but oct's ability to accurately ride the waves through the fog has already become a legendary footnote in the crypto world...
