That night, I was scrolling through Binance Square when a post caught my eye: ANIME had launched, opening at 0.0003.
I glanced at it and thought, “Another anime-themed shitcoin. How high could it possibly go?” Then I casually swiped past it.
The next morning, my roommate excitedly slapped me on the shoulder. “Bro, ANIME is up three times!” I groggily opened my phone: 0.0009. My heart sank, but I still said, “Coins like this go up fast and come down just as fast. I’ll buy in on a pullback.”
A pullback? It never gave me the chance.
On the third day, it hit 0.0015. I started getting restless, refreshing the candlestick chart over and over. People in the group chat were already posting screenshots of tenfold gains, captioned: “The power of belief.” My finger hovered over the buy button for a full ten minutes. In the end, I told myself: “Wait a little longer. There’s bound to be a wick down.”
A week later, ANIME surged to 0.003. I sneaked a look at the price on my work computer. My heart was racing, and my palms were drenched in sweat. If I bought in now, would I be chasing the top? Would I end up holding the bag? Two voices were battling it out in my head. One said, “There’s still time to get in.” The other said, “It’s already up tenfold. Are you crazy?”
I didn’t buy.
A few days later, ANIME reached 0.00339. Today, it’s still going up. I opened my account and looked at the BTC sitting quietly inside, worth 82156 each, barely moving. ETH was only 2439 too, going nowhere fast.
I did the math: if I’d put in ten thousand yuan that night, it would be worth a million now. A million. That number feels like a thorn stuck in my mind, impossible to pull out.
The most painful thing isn’t losing money. It’s seeing an opportunity right in front of you and letting it slip away with your own hands.
I still scroll through Square every day, looking at all those posts showing off people’s gains. I know the next hundredfold coin will come sooner or later. But I also know that when it does, I’ll probably hesitate again, wait for a pullback again, and tell myself to think it over again.
I guess that’s just the fate of a retail investor.
