The Shitcoin Saga: That Early Morning, I Bought BARD
At three in the morning, the only light in Chen Lei’s Shenzhen rental apartment came from his keyboard.
He stared at the screen, at the bright green candlesticks, his eyes bloodshot. BTC had fallen again, and ETH was slowly sliding too. All he had left in his account was 800 yuan in USDT. Three months ago, he’d had 50,000. Now he could barely afford the rent.
“I can’t afford to lose any more anyway. Might as well take a gamble.”
He opened Binance Square and came across a post: “BARD launches today. On-chain data is exploding, and there’s still a chance to get in early.” Chen Lei tapped to take a look. Its market cap was only a few million, and its 24-hour price swings were huge, bouncing from 0.08 to 0.15 like a mad dog.
He hesitated for a full ten minutes.
He went all in with his 800 yuan, buying at 0.085. The moment he pressed confirm, he felt like a gambler pushing his last chip onto the table.
For the first two hours, BARD didn’t budge. Chen Lei’s heart sank little by little. He thought, “That’s it. I’m just another sucker.” He went out onto the balcony for a cigarette. When he came back, he nearly fell off his chair.
0.11.
He rubbed his eyes. He wasn’t seeing things. Half an hour later, it was 0.13. People in the group chat started calling it a “100x coin.” His palms were drenched in sweat, and his heart was pounding. It was more thrilling than his first love.
He didn’t get greedy. At 0.14, he sold half.
The moment the money hit his account, he stared at his balance, stunned for a full minute. His 800 had become 2,300. Trembling, he sold the rest at 0.15.
3,800.
Chen Lei leaned back in his chair. Outside, the sky was already beginning to lighten. He knew it wasn’t because he was clever—he’d just gotten lucky. But he finally understood one thing: in this market, surviving matters far more than making money.
The next day, BARD surged to 0.1503 before starting to fall, and many people rode the roller coaster all over again. Chen Lei had already shut down his computer and gone out for a bowl of rice noodle rolls.
He decided not to check the market today.
