The Meme Coin Legend: That 3 a.m. When I Went All-In on Bull Comes
Old Zhang hadn’t slept in three days.
The bright green candlesticks on the screen looked like knives stabbing into his heart. Three days earlier, he’d listened to some “guru” in a group chat and gone long on G token with 20x leverage. Overnight, its price had plunged from 0.00441 to 0.00332, his position had been liquidated, and all he had left in his account was 120 USDT.
“It’s over.” He slumped in his chair, staring at the ceiling. He hadn’t bought his wife a birthday present yet, their child’s tuition was due next month, and he’d thrown every last bit of his savings into the futures market.
At two in the morning, he aimlessly scrolled through Binance Square. A post caught his eye: Bull Comes USDT, price 0.054. Someone in the comments said the project team was supporting the market and that a pump was imminent. Old Zhang let out a cold laugh. Another meme coin, another scheme to fleece the little guys.
He turned off his phone and rolled over.
But he couldn’t sleep.
At 2:40 a.m., he picked up his phone again. Bull Comes was still at 0.054, unchanged. He thought, “I’ve only got 120 U left anyway. If I lose it all, so be it. Better than leaving it in my account and stressing over it.” So he tapped Buy, went all-in, and bought about 2,200 Bull Comes at 0.054.
After buying, he fell asleep.
At nine the next morning, his phone’s vibrations woke him. There were 99+ messages in the group chat. Rubbing his eyes, he opened it and froze.
Bull Comes: 0.067.
He thought he was seeing things. He refreshed the page. No mistake: 0.06725. It had risen 24 percent overnight. His 120 U had become 148 U.
Old Zhang’s hands began to shake. Not with excitement, but fear. He’d seen this story too many times: a meme coin would rise, then eventually fall back down. That was exactly what had happened with G token last time. It pumped, then dumped, and he’d watched the people in the group who’d been shilling it disappear one by one.
He took a deep breath and made a decision: sell half.
He sold 1,100 Bull Comes at 0.067, receiving 73 USDT. He’d hold on to the rest and consider it a freebie.
Over the next two days, Bull Comes kept rising, reaching a high of 0.07222. Old Zhang didn’t touch it again. He knew greed was the biggest enemy in the futures market.
On the third day, the price began to fall: 0.065, 0.062, 0.059. Old Zhang sold all 1,100 of the remaining tokens, receiving 68 USDT.
Including the 73 U he’d made from the first sale, he got back a total of 141 U. He’d initially put in 120 U, so his net profit was 21 U.
Twenty-one U. Not a lot, but not nothing either. To Old Zhang, those 21 U meant far more than money itself.
He’d learned one thing: in the world of meme coins, taking profits while you’re ahead matters more than chasing a hundredfold return. Those who dream of getting rich overnight are eventually taught a brutal lesson by the market. And he, at least, was still standing.
Old Zhang transferred the 141 U to his bank card and bought his wife a necklace. She didn’t ask where the money came from. She just smiled and said:
“Don’t stay up all night anymore.”
Old Zhang nodded. He knew he’d probably still stay up late watching candlestick charts. But at least this time, the market hadn’t swallowed him whole.
This is the story of an ordinary person in the crypto world. No hundredfold gains, no financial freedom—just a life-or-death struggle with 120 U, and a small victory of 21 U.
