The Shitcoin Legend: I Bought Bull Is Coming, and It Really Came
At 3:30 a.m., Chen Lei stared at his phone screen, his eyes bloodshot.
On Binance Square, a token called "Bull Is Coming" was surging like crazy. Its price had climbed from 0.05382 to 0.06812, a gain of more than 26 percent. The comments section had exploded, filled with people saying "Send it" and "It's about to take off."
Chen Lei was a programmer earning 20,000 yuan a month. Every month, he set aside 5,000 yuan to trade crypto. Last month, he got stuck holding COTI after it dropped 40 percent. His hands were shaking when he finally cut his losses. This time, he swore he wouldn't touch small-cap coins again.
But Bull Is Coming was just too tempting.
He watched the candlestick chart. 0.05382 was the day's low, and he'd missed it while playing video games. Now the price had already rebounded almost 30 percent. He gritted his teeth and went all in with the 800 U he had left in his wallet.
The moment he bought, his palms were covered in sweat.
The price suddenly stopped moving after he bought, as if someone had hit pause. Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour—nothing. He started to regret it, thinking, That's it, I've bought the top again.
Just as he was about to go to sleep, his phone buzzed. Bull Is Coming had climbed to 0.07. Ten minutes later, it hit 0.07222, the day's high.
His 800 U had turned into nearly 1,100.
Chen Lei didn't sell. He saw someone in the group say, "Target: 0.10," and someone else say, "Bull Is Coming is going to get listed on the main exchange." He put his phone beside his pillow and forced himself to close his eyes.
At seven the next morning, the first thing he did when he woke up was check his phone. Bull Is Coming had fallen back to 0.065, and his heart started racing. At eight, it was 0.061. On the subway to work at nine, it was 0.058.
He started calculating: if it fell back to 0.053, he'd be in the red. If it kept dropping, how would he pay rent this month?
At lunchtime, Bull Is Coming rebounded to 0.068. He let out a long breath and quickly set a take-profit order.
At three in the afternoon, he sneaked a look at his phone in the restroom. 0.069. He smiled, convinced he'd made the best decision of his life.
At six that evening, he walked out of the office and opened his wallet. 0.06812—almost exactly what he'd paid. He hesitated, but didn't sell.
At eleven that night, Bull Is Coming climbed to 0.071 again.
Leaning against his headboard, Chen Lei stared at the green candlestick and suddenly felt like none of it was real. A programmer earning 20,000 yuan a month was riding an emotional roller coaster over an 800-U shitcoin.
He thought of the 20,000 yuan he'd lost on futures last year, the heartbreak of cutting his losses on COTI, and all those nights spent watching charts until dawn.
This time, he decided he would sell everything at 0.072. Nothing more, nothing less—200 U in profit would be enough.
He set a limit order and closed his eyes.
When he woke up tomorrow, no matter whether the price had gone up or down, he would withdraw that 800 U and treat himself to a good meal.
After all, in crypto, taking profits is what a real bull market looks like.
