This rewrite uses concise, news-style phrasing common in U.S. crypto updates: it leads with the source/date, breaks key positions into clear bullet points for readability, and uses "crypto whale" (a widely recognized term for large-holding traders) to contextualize the address, aligning with American financial/crypto communication norms.

February 5: Li Hua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), posted on social media: “In this industry, I can never shake the urge to be bullish — and I often find myself reminiscing about my entrepreneurial days. Back then, I couldn’t land a job, so I started a business. After making my first pot of gold, I didn’t splurge; instead, I invested in tech projects, which worked out pretty well. In 2015, I got into crypto: mined BTC, bought ETH, and backed projects. I caught the golden era, riding the bull run all the way to reap gains. But later, I took heavy losses in the bear market. I couldn’t stick it out, so I sold off my BTC too soon — and ultimately missed the bull run that followed March 12, 2020. That was the cost of my bearish stance. Liquid Capital has weathered two bear markets followed by bull runs. So after exiting this cycle’s market top, I’m fairly confident in catching the bottom early. I’ll keep waiting while managing risks.”
