The Shitcoin Saga: How WENB Made Me Rich Overnight
At three in the morning, my phone buzzed and jolted me awake.
Groggy, I picked up my phone. The screen was flooded with messages from the group chat. Old Zhang sent a string of exclamation marks, and Xiao Li just dropped a screenshot showing a candlestick shooting straight into the sky. I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look: WENB had gone from 6.08 to 7.29.
My heart skipped a beat.
Three days earlier, I’d come across a post in the feed saying the WENB community was making moves and on-chain activity was surging. The coin was only a little over two bucks then, so I casually put in 5,000 U. When my wife found out, she chewed me out all night, saying I’d thrown our kid’s formula money in the trash. I didn’t argue, because I thought it might go up in smoke too.
The day after I bought, WENB dropped to 1.8. I went from checking the exchange ten times a day to not daring to open it at all. Someone in the group said they’d cut their losses, down 40 percent, and a whole string of people replied that they felt the same. I put my phone facedown on the table and told myself that if I didn’t look, I hadn’t lost anything.
And then came this morning.
I sprang out of bed and opened the app. WENB was trading at 7.08. My 5,000 U had turned into nearly 20,000 U. My hands started shaking—not from the cold, but from how unreal it all felt. I refreshed the screen over and over, making sure I hadn’t misread the decimal point.
The group chat had exploded. Some people were shouting that we should hold, with a target of 15 bucks. Others said the whales were pumping it to dump, and we should get out fast. I stared at the screen, with two voices battling in my head. One said to take the money and run; the other said to wait a little longer—what if it hit ten bucks?
I remembered buying INIT last year. It was only twenty cents at the time, but I thought its market cap was too small, so I passed. I watched it climb all the way past two bucks—up tenfold. I regretted it for three months. This time, I didn’t want to make the same mistake again.
I took a deep breath and placed a sell order at seven bucks, cashing out half. The moment it filled, I felt my heart finally settle back into my chest. For the other half, I set a take-profit at 6.5, then turned off my phone, rolled over, and went back to sleep.
My wife turned over beside me and mumbled, “What time is it?” I said it was nothing and told her to go back to sleep.
What she didn’t know was that her husband had just turned 5,000 bucks of baby formula money into six months’ worth of wages.
The next morning, WENB pulled back to 6.5, and my take-profit order filled automatically. I walked away with more than 18,000 U in total. I didn’t get rich overnight, but at least it proved one thing: in this market, sometimes the hardest decision isn’t what to buy, but knowing when to hit that sell button.
As for everyone who didn’t sell at the peak—including me—I’ll just say this: anyone who makes it out of the casino alive is a winner.
