The Shitcoin Legend
Zhang was a programmer, 35 years old, who had spent ten years writing code in Shenzhen. He had just enough savings for the down payment on a small apartment.
That night, he worked overtime until two in the morning. As usual, he took a quick look at Binance Square. A token called INIT was trending, and the comments were full of “100x,” “to the moon,” and “all in.” Zhang usually didn’t believe in that sort of thing, but for some reason, that night he clicked through to the trading page.
INIT was trading at 0.16337 USDT, its 24-hour low. Zhang glanced at the chart and thought, “It’s only 2,000 yuan anyway. If I lose it, I’ll just call it a lesson learned.” He placed a market order on his phone and bought about 12,000 INIT at an average price of 0.165.
After buying, he tossed his phone aside and went back to coding.
At nine the next morning, when his alarm went off, he’d almost forgotten about it. He opened the app and saw INIT trading at 0.28. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have read it wrong. He refreshed, and it was still 0.28. His account was showing an unrealized gain of nearly 70%—his 2,000 yuan had become 3,400.
Zhang’s heart raced, but he didn’t sell. He thought he’d wait a little longer.
By the afternoon, INIT had surged to 0.33. His original 2,000 yuan had turned into more than 4,000. Someone in the group was shouting, “Target: one dollar!” while someone else yelled, “Hold on, don’t move!” Zhang’s palms were drenched in sweat. He stared at the numbers on the screen, feeling as if he were dreaming.
By evening, the price started to pull back. It fell from 0.33 to 0.31, then to 0.29. Zhang’s finger hovered over the sell button as he hesitated for a full five minutes. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sold everything.
At the moment the trade went through, his account balance showed: 4,236 yuan.
He had made a full 2,200 yuan.
Zhang turned off his phone and went downstairs for a bowl of beef noodles. Sitting in the noodle shop, watching the traffic flow past outside, he suddenly thought the noodles tasted especially good. Not because he’d made money, but because for the first time, he felt like he might actually survive in this market.
Later, INIT’s price rose again to 0.307, but Zhang didn’t care anymore. He knew that 2,200 yuan in profit wasn’t luck—it was what he’d earned by conquering his own greed during those five minutes.
Of course, he also knew he might not be so lucky next time.
