The Shitcoin Legend: That Night, I Bought a Lifetime’s Worth of ONE
At 3:17 a.m., the glow of the phone screen fell across Ajie’s face.
He had been scrolling through Binance Square for four hours straight. His eyes were bloodshot, and his finger mechanically swiped through the feed. Someone in the group was calling out a trade. Someone said ACT was about to take off. Someone else said MITO was the next 100x coin. Ajie hadn’t bought any of them. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe them—he was just afraid.
Last December, he lost 8,000 yuan on ACT. Back then, ACT was at 0.003. He chased the price and bought in, only for it to plunge straight to 0.001 the next day. His hands were shaking when he cut his losses. After that, he swore he’d never touch shitcoins again.
But tonight was different.
On the 15-minute chart, ONE had formed a perfect bottom. 0.001546—the lowest price of the day. Ajie stared at that number for a full three minutes. Then the group suddenly went quiet. Nobody said a word; only a few stray reaction images appeared.
"It’s only a few hundred yuan, anyway," he told himself.
He opened Binance, searched for ONE/USDT, and entered an amount: 2,000 yuan. His finger hovered over the confirm button. His heartbeat was so loud he could hear it himself.
Buy. Filled at 0.001620.
After buying, he put his phone face down on the table and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. When he came back, he didn’t dare look at the screen—but couldn’t resist. He opened it: 0.001750. Up eight percent.
Ajie didn’t sell. He thought about how he’d regretted cutting his ACT losses last year, and remembered all those stories about how it would have taken off if only people had waited a little longer.
At 4 a.m., ONE broke through 0.002. People in the group started posting rocket emojis.
At 4:40 a.m., ONE touched 0.002476, its high for the day. Ajie’s account was showing an unrealized gain of more than 50 percent. His hands began to sweat.
"Should I sell?" he posted in the group.
Nobody replied. Everyone was busy watching their own accounts.
He remembered something an old crypto trader once said: With shitcoins, profits are only real once you’ve locked them in.
0.002349. At 5:02 a.m., Ajie hit the sell button. The moment the order filled, he let out a long breath, as if he’d exhaled a whole year’s worth of anxiety.
His 2,000 yuan had turned into 3,450 yuan. It wasn’t much, but he felt it was the best trade he’d made since he started trading crypto. Not because of how much he’d earned, but because he’d chosen to stay calm when he was at his greediest.
At 8 a.m., Ajie woke up and opened Binance. ONE had already fallen back to 0.002100. He smiled, turned off his phone, and went out to buy breakfast.
The sun was shining beautifully on the street. Suddenly, he felt that being alive mattered more than anything else.
