That night that changed countless lives, where were you?
Do you remember that hot night on May 8, 2021?
That night, Weibo's trending searches were suddenly dominated by a strange name – 'SHIB'. At that time, most of us didn’t even know what it was, we just thought the name was a bit vulgar, even a bit funny. It was called 'shitcoin', and its initial value was so low that it was almost worthless, at $0.0000000000001, nobody wanted it even for free.
But that afternoon, it was like a lit powder keg, within just a few hours, the price skyrocketed by 400%.
I still remember that scene: someone in the friend circle posted about a pile of 'garbage' they bought for 1000 yuan a year ago, and that night their account balance shot up to 20 million, even doubling. Others just casually bought 6000 before going to bed, and when they woke up, they had made over 2000. That was truly 'one second in the crypto world, ten years in reality'.
