Legend of the Shitcoin Doge
At three in the morning, in a rental room in a Shenzhen urban village, Chen Hao stared at his phone screen, his eyes bloodshot.
He held onto the last two thousand yuan. His rent was due in three days.
Last month, his girlfriend left, leaving behind a line: “Go dream with those coins.” He didn’t argue, because he really was dreaming.
He’d been in the crypto circle for three years. His leveraged contracts blew up four times, and he’d trapped himself in endless rounds of spot trading. The money left in his account was barely enough to hesitate over even a bowl of pork knuckle rice.
That night, he was scrolling in the square when he saw a post. Someone said the GTC project team was making big moves, and the on-chain data was abnormal. He clicked in, glanced once—its price was only 0.1一 per coin, market cap tiny, and daily trading volume just a few million.
“Anyway, you’re going to lose. Might as well gamble once.”
He used all the remaining two thousand yuan to buy GTC at an average price of 0.1一3. After purchasing, he tossed the phone aside, lay down, and tried to sleep. He didn’t dare look. He was afraid that if he saw it dropping, he’d cut his losses.
When he woke up the next day at noon, his phone had vibrated a dozen times. Still half-asleep, he opened it and saw that GTC was up 30%. His heartbeat sped up, but he didn’t sell.
By night, GTC had climbed to 0.21—almost doubled. His finger hovered above the sell button, hesitating for a full five minutes.
“Wait a bit longer. What if it can still go up?”
On the third day, GTC surged to 0.2449. His account, which started at two thousand, had grown to more than four thousand three hundred. He’d never felt that four thousand yuan could be so heavy.
He sold half, pulling out his principal. For the remaining half, he decided to keep it.
Not because he was greedy—but because he finally understood something: in the crypto world, the thing that lets you turn things around isn’t luck. It’s that you didn’t exit before luck arrived.
Now he sat in front of his computer, watching GTC price fluctuate around 0.212. Someone in the group asked how he managed to catch it. He typed three words:
“I didn’t cut my losses.”
Then he shut off his phone, went out to look for a job. Coins were still meant to be traded—but the days still had to be lived.
