The Shitcoin Legend
At three in the morning, Chen Lei stared at his phone screen, his eyes bloodshot.
He had just finished working overtime and was lying on the bed in his rented room, scrolling through Binance Square. A post caught his eye: someone had shared a screenshot showing they’d bought 10,000 USDT worth of SOXSB and made twenty times their money in three days. The comments were full of people lamenting, all saying, “I missed out again.”
Chen Lei gave a bitter smile. He’d been trading crypto for three years, losing more than he’d made, and getting liquidated on futures at least ten times. Every time he saw stories of other people striking it rich, it felt like a needle pricking his heart.
He couldn’t sleep that night. He tossed and turned until dawn, when a thought suddenly crossed his mind: Instead of watching other people make money every day, why not take a chance himself? He opened Binance and saw that SOXSB was currently priced at 52.57 USDT. It had hit an intraday high of 53.41 and a low of 43.63—an enormous range.
“This coin’s moved more than 20 percent today. There could be an opportunity,” he muttered to himself.
But he didn’t go all in. The lesson from his last liquidation was still etched in his bones. He put in just 2,000 USDT and bought 38 SOXSB. Then he set a stop-loss: if the price fell below 45, it would sell automatically.
For the next two days, he checked the price almost every ten minutes. SOXSB was like a roller coaster. At one point it dropped to 46, and his heart leapt into his throat. But the stop-loss didn’t trigger, and the price bounced back.
On the morning of the third day, he woke to a notification on his phone. SOXSB had broken through 60 USDT.
He couldn’t believe his eyes. He opened his account and saw that his unrealized profit was over 40 percent. He hesitated for three seconds, remembered how his greed had kept him from selling last time and ultimately got him liquidated, then decisively sold everything.
His hands were shaking when the money arrived. His 2,000 USDT had become 3,200—a net profit of 1,200. It wasn’t much, but it was the first time in three years that he’d followed his trading plan from start to finish.
He didn’t rush to withdraw the money or add to his position at the peak. He transferred the profits into a flexible savings product, turned off his phone, and went out for a bowl of beef noodles.
Sitting in the noodle shop, he suddenly understood something: Crypto trading isn’t about who makes the most money; it’s about who lasts the longest. Stories of people getting rich overnight are just entertaining to hear. What really keeps you in the game is discipline and patience.
He took a bite of beef. It tasted especially good.
