Shenzhen University Class of 2018 undergraduate Zhang Yufeng donates 50 million to alma mater one year after graduation: Experience in wealth creation in the cryptocurrency world

"My friends around me always say they were born at the wrong time, missing out on Taobao in 2008, WeChat in 2013, and TikTok in 2018, but greater opportunities are coming. Web3 has opened a new world for young people: from SBF to ordinary individuals, everyone should leap into the tide of this era."

On September 27, the news of "Shenzhen University Class of 2018 alumni donating 50 million" exploded online, sparking widespread speculation. Labels such as "son of Tencent CTO," "founder of Singapore ABD Capital," and "CEO of a certain company" were forcibly attached to this mysterious young man. This article will deeply restore the true trajectory of this self-made crypto legend—Zhang Yufeng. His circle ID is @octopusfeng, hereinafter referred to as oct.

Chapter 1: Initial Exploration—Trading Enlightenment and Deep Learning#

Despite various speculations about oct's identity, public information shows that he is indeed a graduate of Shenzhen University, majoring in International Trade in 2018. In stark contrast to the "two years after graduation donating 50 million" narrative amidst a harsh job market, netizens questioning his "rich second-generation" persona is quite normal. However, those in the crypto circle know that this former FTX trader's legendary experience is the best footnote for starting from scratch in the Web3 era.

Looking back to 2018, the newly enrolled oct was no different from most freshmen, filled with confusion about the future. In an interview, he candidly admitted that he had a serious bias against trading, especially cryptocurrency, believing that all traders were gamblers, even categorizing Buffett as a "speculator crushed by capital."

The turning point came at the end of 2020. When the news of "Bitcoin rising 300% to break $30,000" flooded the screens, most people scoffed, but oct chose to set aside his prejudices and delve into research. This decision quietly turned the gears of fate.

If traders can be divided into action-oriented and theory-oriented, oct is undoubtedly the former. Even after achieving his first six-figure profit by investing in Bilibili and Xiaomi, he still chose to go all in on the crypto market. In this jungle of the survival of the fittest, oct displayed a cheetah-like sharpness—after months of research, he bet all his funds on $SOL.

His investment logic shows a distinct primary market style:

Targeting the pain point of Ethereum's high gas fees, seeking quality alternative public chains
Valuing the strength of project teams, discovering the strong support behind SOL from FTX
Judging ecological activity through hackathon quality, confirming the concentration of SOL builders

The real test came after the purchase. At the beginning of 2021, $SOL continued to decline, repeatedly falling below the $1 mark. Oct admitted that he suffered greatly during that time, but ultimately, perseverance led to dawn—SOL soared from $3 to $200, helping him achieve a leap in assets worth millions.

Although some viewed him as a "gambler blessed by luck," a review of his operations reveals precise judgment: from grasping macro trends to selecting micro projects, from position management to mindset control, every step contains the qualities of a professional trader...
