I almost threw my phone that night
At 3:30 a.m., I stared at the candlestick chart, my eyes as red as a rabbit’s.
It was a night in October 2026, and RLC had fallen to 0.36 USDT. The group chat was full of despair. Some said the coin was finished, others said the team had abandoned the project, and someone posted a screenshot of their liquidated position: their 20x long had been wiped out, and 300,000 was gone just like that.
My name is Xiao Chen. I’m just an ordinary office worker. Every month, the first thing I do after payday is transfer 5,000 into crypto. It’s not much, but it’s a path I’m keeping open for myself.
I was losing money that night too. The RLC I’d bought on the spot market had fallen from 0.58 to 0.38, leaving me down 35% on paper. My wife called from the bedroom, telling me to go to bed. I said, “Just a little longer.” Honestly, I didn’t know what I was waiting for. Maybe a miracle, or maybe I just couldn’t accept the loss.
At 4 a.m., I saw a message saying that RLC’s AI computing platform had won a data center contract from the government of a European country, worth 20 million euros. My first thought was that it was fake news. My second was: who cares if it’s true? I’d already lost so much anyway.
I made a decision: I put the remaining 8,000 in my account into RLC, at an average price of 0.365.
As soon as I’d bought, I went to sleep. To be honest, I slept incredibly deeply that night. Maybe I was so numb from losing money that I’d stopped feeling anxious.
When I woke up around noon the next day, I opened my phone. RLC was at 0.52, up 40%. My heart raced, but I didn’t sell.
Day three: 0.68.
Day five: 0.78.
By day seven, the price had surged to 0.7851—more than double what I’d paid.
The people in the group chat who’d been saying the team had run off were all silent. The guy who’d posted the liquidation screenshot messaged me privately and asked if I had insider information. I said no. I’d just been too sleepy that night, so I bought and fell asleep.
I sold half at 0.75, recouping my entire principal. I set a stop-loss on the rest of my position and never touched it again.
Later, RLC pulled back to 0.65, then rose and hovered around 0.75. My 8,000 had turned into almost 20,000.
There’s nothing technically impressive about this story. I didn’t nail the bottom or make a hundredfold return. I didn’t even understand the candlestick chart. I just didn’t sell when everyone was most terrified, and I didn’t buy more when I was most excited.
The hardest part of crypto has never been analysis. It’s getting through those sleepless nights.
