The Shitcoin Legend: The Night I Bought WAL
At three in the morning, the glow of his phone lit Xiao Chen’s face. He hadn’t slept in three days.
There were just 2,000 U left in his account. It was his fourth deposit this month; the first three had all been lost trading futures. He went long on BTC and got liquidated by a wick, went short on ETH and got caught in a rebound, then chased GLMR at the top and got stuck holding the bag. Every time, he told himself it would be the last. Every time, the market taught him a harsher lesson.
“Just one more look, then I’ll sleep,” he told himself.
He opened Binance Square, and a post caught his eye: “WAL on-chain data is showing unusual activity. Whales have been accumulating for three days straight. Watch the support around 0.04.”
Xiao Chen opened the chart. WAL was trading at 0.042, with little movement on the day and average volume. He was immune to these kinds of “opportunities” by now. After all, the last time he believed a rumor about whales accumulating, the price dropped 15% right after he bought in.
But tonight was different. Maybe it was the sleeplessness messing with his judgment. Maybe having only 2,000 U left made him feel he had nothing to lose. He opened the trading page, hesitated for a full five minutes, then spent 500 U on WAL.
“If it all goes, it goes.” He turned off his phone and forced himself to close his eyes.
At two the next afternoon, a WeChat message jolted him awake.
“Bro, you bought WAL? It’s up more than 30%!”
His hands trembling, he opened the app. WAL was trading at 0.0559, having hit an intraday high of 0.0678. His 500 U had become 680 U.
His heart raced. He remembered the last time this had happened: a certain meme coin was up 20%, he didn’t sell, and it eventually went to zero.
“This time is different.” He took a deep breath and placed a sell order at 0.062.
As soon as it filled, he looked at the extra hundred-odd U in his account and suddenly felt his eyes grow warm. It wasn’t about how much he’d made. It was just that he hadn’t gotten something right in so long.
WAL rose again later, eventually reaching 0.0678. He didn’t regret selling early.
That night, Xiao Chen transferred all 680 U to his bank card. He cooked himself a bowl of noodles and added an egg.
As he ate, he thought that maybe the most important thing about trading crypto wasn’t how much you made, but knowing when to stop.
Of course, what he didn’t know was that a week later, WAL would rise to 0.15.
But that’s another story.
