Shitcoin Legend: The Night I Became a Millionaire
At 3:30 in the morning, the glow of his phone lit up Xiao Chen’s face. Lying in his rented room in a Shenzhen urban village, he stared blankly at a post on Binance Square.
The post said QI was about to take off.
Xiao Chen had only 3,000 yuan of spare cash at the time. He’d just paid off last month’s Huabei bill with his salary. He looked at QI’s price—0.001713—absurdly low, like a joke. “It’s only 3,000 yuan anyway. If I lose it all, so be it.” He tapped Buy and went all in: more than 14 million QI.
After buying, he fell asleep.
When he woke up around noon the next day, he opened Binance out of habit. QI’s price had climbed to 0.002026, up 17 percent. He chuckled. “Just 17 percent? Barely enough to snack on.” He didn’t sell.
On the third day, QI surged to 0.002208. His heart started beating a little faster.
On the fourth day, news exploded in the group chat. A major influencer tweeted that the team behind QI had secured investment from a top-tier institution. The price shot up like a rocket. Xiao Chen watched the candlesticks turn green one after another, his finger hovering over the sell button. He hesitated for a full two hours.
“Wait a little longer,” he told himself. “What if it keeps going up?”
He didn’t sell.
A week later, QI had climbed eightfold. The 3,000 yuan in Xiao Chen’s account had become 24,000. He started regretting not buying more and bragging about his “good eye” in the group chat.
But what truly changed his fate was another trade.
That day, he came across a coin called Bull Is Coming, priced at 0.06031. The name sounded lucky, and its community was active. He converted all the money he’d made from QI into Bull Is Coming. A friend warned him not to get greedy, but he said, “I’ve got experience this time. I’m holding on.”
Bull Is Coming rose from 0.06 to 0.07222, gaining nearly 20 percent. But Xiao Chen didn’t sell. He had learned to wait.
Two weeks later, several market makers had their eyes on Bull Is Coming, and its liquidity surged. The price soared. Every day, Xiao Chen watched the balance in his account jump—from 30,000 to 50,000, from 50,000 to 100,000, from 100,000 to 300,000.
He started losing sleep.
Not from excitement, but from fear. He was afraid it would all disappear like a dream when he woke up. He set a price alert and placed a sell order at 0.07.
Three days later, Bull Is Coming hit a high of 0.07222, and his sell order was automatically filled.
300,000 yuan.
Xiao Chen stared at his account balance for a full ten minutes, his fingers trembling. He remembered how, just six months earlier, he’d been fretting over a 3,000-yuan credit card bill. He remembered his mother saying, “Stop messing around with those virtual things.” He remembered his ex-girlfriend leaving him because he was “going nowhere.”
He slowly opened his phone contacts, found his mother’s name, and called her.
“Mom, I made a little money. Not much, but enough to pay off the mortgage on our home.”
There was a long silence on the other end.
“Child, did you go gambling again?”
Xiao Chen smiled, tears falling onto the screen.
What he didn’t tell his mother was that night, he opened Binance and saw G Coin had gone up another 10 percent. He knew this market would never let him stop.
But at least this time, he’d won.
