The Shitcoin Legend: That Night, I Bought BARD
At two-thirty in the morning, I stared at my phone screen, barely able to keep my eyes open.
Crypto veterans all say that late night is the devil’s trading hour. But for a futures trader who’d been losing money for three months, late night was the only chance to make it back.
That night, BTC was moving sideways around 92,000, and ETH was languishing just above 3,000. The whole market was as still as a pool of stagnant water. Longs and shorts were both getting wiped out, and the 800 U left in my account couldn’t withstand any more volatility.
Just as I was about to close the app and go to bed, a notification popped up in the community feed: BARD had launched.
I tapped into it casually. The price was only 0.13, and its market cap was pitifully small. The candlestick chart had barely formed a few candles, yet trading volume suddenly surged. The comments were already going wild. Some said it was a project backed by a top-tier market maker; others said on-chain data looked unusual, and whales were accumulating like crazy.
I hesitated for a full five minutes.
I’d hesitated just like this three months earlier. Back then, PEPE went from 0.001 to 0.15. I watched it for three days without daring to buy, then looked on helplessly as it rose 150-fold. I learned one thing that time: in crypto, hesitation costs more than impulsiveness.
I took a deep breath and used all the 800 U I had left to buy BARD at market price.
The moment the order filled, my hands were shaking. Not with excitement, but fear. I knew this could be another gamble that went to zero, but I had nothing left to lose.
After buying, I turned my phone face down on the table and didn’t dare look again. The sound of my heart pounding was especially clear in the quiet room. I thought back to last winter, when I lost two months’ salary on DODO. DODO had suddenly surged too. I chased the price and got in, only to be liquidated in a single pullback.
This time, I didn’t set a stop-loss. Not because I was confident, but because I knew that if I did, a normal fluctuation could shake me out.
At four in the morning, my phone’s vibration jolted me awake.
I opened it and saw that BARD had already reached 0.143. It was up 65%.
I didn’t sell.
Not because I was greedy, but because I’d seen an on-chain analysis in the comments: the top ten holder addresses hadn’t transferred a single token in the past two hours. The supply was locked up tight.
At eight in the morning, BARD surged to 0.15. My 800 U had become 1,440.
At noon, it hit 0.22. My account showed 2,600.
At three in the afternoon, I sold everything near the high. I ended up with 3,100 U in realized profits.
From 800 to 3,100 in less than twelve hours.
I didn’t post a screenshot in the community feed or brag in any group. I just sat quietly in my rented apartment, looking at the sunset outside the window, and suddenly felt my eyes grow a little hot.
For three months, this was the first time I’d made money.
Later, someone asked me what my secret was. I said there was no secret. I just happened to be awake when everyone else was hesitating.
Of course, I know I can’t count on this kind of luck every time. The lesson from getting liquidated on futures is still fresh, and so is the memory of chasing a price and getting stuck. This time, I just happened to buy the right thing at the right time.
The cruelest truth about crypto is this: every penny you earn may just be something the market has lent you temporarily.
