The Mutt-Coin Legend: The Night I Bought MBL
At 2:47 a.m., Jie stared at his phone screen, his eyes already bloodshot.
Someone in a crypto group had posted, “MBL is about to take off,” along with a candlestick chart. He took a look: a market cap of less than two million dollars, a pitifully low daily trading volume, and a price of just $0.0007. In crypto, this coin wasn’t even a street mutt—it was more like a flea on one.
But that night, Jie couldn’t sleep. He was bored, and he still had 300 USDT with nowhere to put it.
“Ah, it’s only 300 bucks. If I lose it all, so be it.”
He placed a limit order on Binance’s spot market, buying about 400,000 MBL at $0.00074. After placing the order, he tossed his phone under his pillow, rolled over, and fell fast asleep.
At three the next afternoon, Jie was jolted awake by his phone vibrating. There were 999 unread messages in the group.
Still groggy, he opened the chat—and practically bounced off the bed.
MBL was up. Not just a little—it had risen by 30 percent. His 300 USDT had become 400. Someone in the group shouted, “This is just the beginning—the target is a double!” Jie’s heart began to race. He watched the green candlestick shoot higher and higher, his finger hovering over the sell button. He hesitated for a full ten minutes.
In the end, he didn’t sell.
Over the next three days, MBL took off like a rocket. From $0.0008 to $0.001, then from $0.001 to $0.0013. Jie’s 300 USDT had turned into 1,200. He posted, “Guys, I think I actually picked a winner,” and was met with a row of envious reaction memes.
But the real climax came on the fourth night.
A big-name crypto influencer tweeted that MBL had major good news coming, along with an ecosystem partnership on some blockchain. Within an hour, the price shot straight from $0.0013 to $0.0018. Jie’s account balance showed 2,300 USDT. His hands trembled, his breathing quickened, and he had just one thought: Sell. Right now.
He hit sell, and the entire order went through at market price.
The moment it filled, he let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair, feeling as if he’d just woken from a dream. Three hundred bucks had become 2,300 in seven days—a 660 percent return.
But the story wasn’t over.
After he sold, MBL surged again, reaching $0.00138, before starting to fall. Two days later, the price had dropped back to $0.0010. Jie looked at the chart and was glad he’d gotten out in time. Those in the group who hadn’t sold had given back more than half their gains. Some started cursing the market makers; others began selling at a loss.
Jie transferred the more than 1,000 USDT he’d made off the exchange and took his girlfriend out for Japanese food.
She asked why he’d been in such a good mood lately.
He smiled and said, “I bought a dog.”
She thought he meant a pet. She didn’t know he was talking about the most unremarkable mutt in crypto—a coin that had surprised him one sleepless night.
Stories like this play out in crypto every day. Some people get rich; others get liquidated. Jie’s story teaches us one thing: sometimes, the most unremarkable mutt is the one that gives you a sweet little bite.
