Three o’clock in the morning—Xia County snacks
My name is Chen Lei. I’m from Fuzhou, and I’ve been working at a Xia County Snacks shop for three years.
Back in September 2026, that night after the store closed, I crouched in the back kitchen scrolling on my phone and saw SAND fall to 0.044 US dollars. Someone in the group was shouting that the metaverse was over, that SAND was going to zero—telling me to cut my losses immediately. The two thousand U in my hand were money I’d saved for half a year to build a house back in my hometown. I’d put it all on SAND.
That night, I couldn’t sleep.
I thought about 2021, when SAND hit more than eight dollars at its peak. My coworker Lao Wang made enough to buy a BMW. And me? At the highest point, I rushed in to catch the falling knife, taking a loss of more than forty thousand U all the way down, until I was left with only two thousand U in scraps.
At four in the morning, I made a decision.
I transferred all the remaining thirty thousand yuan in my Alipay into Binance, then went all-in on SAND at 0.045. My wife called and yelled at me for being crazy. I told her, just trust me once—just once.
In the days that followed, I deleted all the market apps. Every day, it was just chopping vegetables, cooking noodles, and carrying trays. The boss said I seemed like I’d been replaced—before, I would check my phone every three minutes; now I quietly worked without looking at it.
One day a month later, around noon, the guests at the next table were chatting and mentioned that SAND had risen a lot. My hands were shaking as I opened Binance—0.08.
It doubled.
I didn’t sell.
Two more weeks later—0.12. Then two weeks after that—0.25.
I started to get scared. Every night I dreamed the price would return to 0.04. That feeling was worse than losing money, because you could clearly be making a lot, yet you might have to give it all back at any moment.
I decided to scale out in batches. I sold half at 0.3, and then sold the other half at 0.5. The rest, I kept—like an extra reward that fate had given me.
By early October, SAND was trading sideways around 0.08. I算算了一下—by this run, I’d made roughly four hundred and twenty thousand.
Yesterday, I transferred the money back to my bank account and went to a real estate sales office to look at houses. The salesperson asked what industry I was in. I said I run a snack shop. He smiled, clearly not very convinced.
This morning at three o’clock, I was crouching in the back kitchen again, scrolling on my phone. Someone in the group asked how I managed to time the bottom so precisely. I typed a few characters and then deleted them.
There’s no such thing as accurately timing the bottom. It’s just that when you’re poor enough to have no way out, you gamble with your last shred of belief.
