At the end of October last year, when I returned from a business trip to Xinjiang, it rained in Shanghai like someone smashing glass in the sky. High-rise residences, as if able to look down on everything, I stared out the window in a daze, and a Lo-fi song looped in my headphones. The phone shook, and it was her message:
"Let's break up, we don't have a story, so let's say goodbye"
I didn't reply, and I am not qualified to return. To be honest, I already knew about the breakup, but I was too lazy to face it. Compared to her, I've been losing money more lately.
I recently lost more than $400,000 at CEX. The word "loss" is too light, to be precise, it is explosive, broken, and blown through. The Dogecoin rushed, the copycat dived, the position did not go, and the stop loss was not set, all of which I made myself. $cati $bnx
When I returned to the computer desk, the whole room was as quiet as a death scene. The computer was not turned off, and the screen turned red into a hell of flames. I stared at the balance, wondering if it was a prank, until I clicked on my wallet and was sure it was a real "bankruptcy".
I didn't want to do anything at that moment, really, it felt like a waste of time to even sleep. But when I woke up the next day, I subconsciously clicked on GMGN, the app I used to watch meme quotes.
The page is also very familiar, the list of hot coins is jumping, and the wallet trends of KOLs on the chain are rolling up. I didn't know which nerve was pumped, so I clicked in and took a look at $RIPETH - an experimental small coin that was smashed by a big brother with $30 million worth of $SOL in his wallet while he was $ETH
I stared at the charts and the flow of money for five minutes, my heart beating faster and faster. In the end, I was ruthless and put the few dozen $SOL all in there. I turned off my phone after buying it, and on a rainy night, there was no Maybach, so I went to the door of my house and bought a few bottles of Coke with my family.
A few hours later, it was a message from a friend that woke me up:
"It's $RIPETH 10M, what do you say!"
I jumped straight up, and I sat on the bed and giggled like a madman who had just escaped.
That night I reorganised my GMGN watchlist and started to learn the rhythm of on-chain and off-chain, tagging KOLs, paying attention to real-time dynamics, and studying kinetic trading. I'm no longer brainless to rush hot spots, but like an information hunter, stepping ahead of other people's FOMO at every step.
A month later, I made all the money back from the liquidation, and a little more. I didn't go to her again, and I didn't post any "comeback" circle of friends. Although CEX has been back quite a bit since then, I can always remember the day I first opened gmgn and the story of my past with her
Someone asked me why I like to play $meme so much, and I told him:
"I just said goodbye to the past, and I always have to look for new stories"
