I was already asleep that night
At 2:30 a.m., my phone buzzed. Half-asleep, I picked it up and saw someone in the Binance group chat had posted: “BMT is pumping. Who still hasn’t gotten in?”
I didn’t think much of it at the time. I rolled over and went back to sleep. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. At three, I picked up my phone again and checked the candlestick chart. BMT had already climbed from 0.02075 to 0.024, up nearly 20 percent.
My heart started racing.
I remembered that three months earlier, when BMT was still at 0.008, I’d seen someone analyze the project on the Square. I thought the market cap was too small and it wasn’t worth bothering with, so I scrolled right past. Now it had tripled right under my nose, while a few tens of thousands of U sat in my account earning a pitiful amount of interest.
At 3:15, I sat up.
I opened Binance and placed a limit order at 0.025, buying 2,000 U worth of BMT. My hand was shaking when I placed the order—not from fear, but excitement. I felt like I’d finally gotten hold of something.
When I woke up the next morning, BMT had already reached 0.0289. I’d made nearly 300 U overnight. How do I describe the feeling? Like finding money on the street—big bills, no less.
I started regretting that I hadn’t bought more.
At eleven that morning, BMT pulled back to 0.026, so I added another 5,000 U. This time I didn’t hesitate; I bought in at market price. Thinking of the momentum from the day before, I figured it had to surge to 0.035 today.
And then nothing went the way I expected.
At two that afternoon, a huge red candle came crashing down. BMT dropped straight from 0.026 to 0.022. My added position was instantly down nearly 800 U. I stared at the screen, my finger hovering over the sell button, unable to press it.
The group chat was already in an uproar. Some said the big players had bailed, some said it was just a shakeout, and others said to cut losses immediately. I listened to nobody. I turned my phone face down on the table and went out to the balcony for a cigarette.
That cigarette took a full twenty minutes to smoke.
That evening, BMT slowly climbed back to 0.026, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The next day it rose to 0.028 again. I didn’t sell, thinking I’d wait until it got back to 0.03. Then, on the third day, it gapped straight down to 0.021, wiping out all the profit on my initial 2,000 U position.
I finally closed my entire position at 0.024. All told, I made a little over 200 on the initial 2,000 U position, but lost nearly 1,000 on the additional 5,000 U. Net loss: 700 U.
Later, I saw RUNE rise 17 percent and KMNO rise 14 percent. They were all coins I hadn’t bought.
I closed the app and lay in bed staring at the ceiling. I thought of BMT at 0.008 three months earlier, and that post I’d casually scrolled past.
The most expensive thing in crypto isn’t a token. It’s all the moments you missed.
And every time, you tell yourself that next time you’ll definitely seize the opportunity.
Next time, for sure.
