The Shitcoin Saga: That Night at 3 A.M., I Went All-In on SOPH
At 2:47 a.m., Old Chen stared at his phone screen, his eyes bloodshot.
The group chat on Binance Square had already racked up more than 900 messages. Everyone was talking about a new coin called SOPH. Its price was swinging wildly between 0.00136 and 0.00175, with 24-hour trading volume nearing four million U. The “gurus” in the group said it was the next 100x coin. They even posted a candlestick chart, claiming the whales had finished accumulating at the bottom.
Old Chen knew the risks. He’d been in crypto for four years. He’d lived through Luna going to zero and watched LUNA plunge from 80 yuan to a price with six zeros after the decimal point. He’d once made 300,000 yuan on DOGE, only to give it all back on SHIB. After four years, all he had left in his account was 20,000 U. He kept the faith by using his salary to buy BTC every month.
But tonight was different.
SOPH’s candlestick chart looked like a spring coiled and ready to launch, oscillating around 0.0014 for three straight days. Old Chen studied it over and over using his own “three-line resonance method.” The MACD had formed a golden cross, the RSI had bounced from oversold territory, and trading volume had clearly picked up at the bottom. Every indicator was telling him one thing: it was about to rise.
He checked BTC: a little over 78,500, barely moving. When Bitcoin doesn’t rise, altcoins get their chance—that was the ironclad rule Old Chen had come up with.
At 3:01 a.m., SOPH suddenly surged from 0.00145 to 0.00158.
Old Chen’s hands began to tremble. He told himself to wait a little longer and buy on a pullback. But the price showed no sign of pulling back. Within 15 minutes, it had shot up to 0.00165. The group chat was flooded with messages: “It’s taking off!” “Get in!” “Last chance!”
He took a deep breath and used every last one of the 12,000 U in his account to buy. Average price: 0.00162.
The moment he bought, his palms were drenched in sweat.
The next six hours were the longest ordeal of his life. The price briefly fell back to 0.00155, and Old Chen’s heart nearly stopped. He kept refreshing the chart, checking his account balance every 30 seconds. When his unrealized loss hit 800 U, he almost cut his losses.
At 8 a.m., SOPH suddenly surged again. 0.0017, 0.00175, 0.0018.
Old Chen didn’t sell. He remembered how he’d regretted taking profits too early on DOGE last time, and told himself he had to hold on this time. The price kept climbing: 0.0019, 0.0021. People in the group were already shouting, “Target: 0.01!”
At noon, SOPH hit 0.0023. The unrealized profit in Old Chen’s account had topped 5,000 U.
He finally sold half. Secure some profits, and let the rest ride.
At 3 p.m., SOPH fell back to 0.0019. Old Chen sold the rest too. Total profit: 6,800 U, a 56% return.
He turned off his phone, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time. 6,800 U was almost three months’ salary for him.
He knew it was nothing but luck. Next time, he might not be so lucky.
But he couldn’t help opening Binance and taking another look at SOPH’s chart.
The price had already returned to 0.00171.
Old Chen gave a wry smile, placed his phone face down on the table, and left for work.
