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 sector.

"My 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 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 the era."

On September 27, the news of "Shenzhen University Class of 2018 alumni donating 50 million" exploded online, sparking various speculations. Tags like "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 the various speculations about oct's identity, public information shows that he is indeed a graduate of the International Trade major from Shenzhen University, Class of 2018. In the stark contrast of a job market winter and "donating 50 million two years after graduation," it is normal for netizens to question his "rich second generation" persona. However, those in the crypto circle know that the legendary experience of this former FTX trader is the best footnote for self-made success in the Web3 era.

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

If traders are divided into action-oriented and theory-oriented, oct is undoubtedly the former. Even after achieving his first six-figure profit through investments 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 presented a clear 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 the quality of hackathons, confirming the concentration of SOL builders

The real test came after the purchase. In early 2021, $SOL continued to decline, repeatedly falling below the $1 mark. Oct admitted that he suffered greatly during that time, but ultimately, perseverance brought him to the dawn—SOL soared from $3 to $200, helping him achieve a multi-million asset leap.

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