Let me guess.
You joined crypto because some kid on Telegram promised you $50 a day tapping colorful icons, right?
You tapped. You shared referral links like your life depended on it. You joined sketchy airdrop groups. You sent your seed phrase to a “support bot” with a Pepe profile picture. You even believed that this time, that weird “Web3 game” would pay out.
Yeah. I was you. But now I’m not.
Because I stopped believing the hype — and started learning how the jungle actually works.
This is the raw, no-filter story of how I turned $25 into $17,893,417 trading meme coins, with nothing but stubbornness, insomnia, and an intimate relationship with the “Buy” button.
It’s not pretty. But it’s real.
The $25 Start: No Funds, No Clue, No Shame
I had twenty-five bucks and Wi-Fi — not even good Wi-Fi. I wasn’t trying to become a millionaire. I just wanted to win once. One trade. One flip. One candle that didn’t betray me.
So I started like every other idiot: I bought a garbage meme coin with a name like “MoonD**k69” because someone on Twitter posted a green chart and “#100xSoon.” It rugged in four minutes.
Great start.
But here’s the thing: I didn’t leave.
Most people rage quit. I got curious.
Rule #1: If You're Gonna Lose Money, At Least Learn Something
Every time I lost (which was a lot), I dissected what happened.
Who made money while I lost?
What wallets were selling into my buy?
Was the hype real or synthetic?
What does a scam look like on-chain?
I stopped chasing moonshots and started hunting wallets.
I’d track wallets that bought early and sold right before the dump. If you do this long enough, you’ll notice something:
The same 50 wallets are always eating.
You? You’re their exit liquidity.
Learn to spot them, and you stop being lunch.
First Flip: Turning $5 into $50 with Brett
Brett was the first time I actually felt what it was like to win.
I caught it early because I followed the right wallets. Not influencers. Not Discord mods. Wallets.
I saw a cluster of known snipers enter in the first block. I threw $5 in — half-jokingly. It hit $50 in a few hours.
That $50 wasn’t life-changing, but it was proof. Real, undeniable proof that it could be done — without shilling, without bots, without being in some sketchy group.
And that high? Oh, it was better than the hype from any “blue chip” NFT mint.
Rule #2: Nobody Knows Sh*t — Especially the Ones With Followers
Let me say it plainly:
Most of the people “educating” you are either:
1. Paid to promote garbage.
2. Selling courses because they can’t trade.
3. Repackaging YouTube TA like it’s gospel.
You don’t need more “gurus.” You need to lose consciously and win intentionally.
Every real trader I know has been absolutely humbled by this space. If someone hasn’t been rekt, scammed, or held a coin down 97% while eating cereal, they haven’t been here long enough.
So when people say “XRP to $10k,” I laugh.
XRP gave me my next major flip — but not because of hopium. Because I understood the rhythm.
XRP: The Flip That Almost Broke Me
XRP was different. It was volatile, manipulated, hated, and somehow still alive — kind of like me at the time.
I built a position slowly. Everyone told me I was crazy. Everyone was tweeting death spirals and calling it “outdated.”
But I had learned to trade human behavior, not coins.
So I waited for the lawsuit FUD to peak, then rode the post-FOMO pump like a psychopath on a rocket.
I 8x’d a four-figure bag into mid-five figures. And then — wait for it — I sold.
That was the hard part. Not buying. Selling.
Because “diamond hands” is a lie. Most people use it as a coping mechanism for bad entries. I call it “emotional constipation.”
Rule #3: Don’t Marry Coins. Date Them. Ghost Them.
The market owes you nothing.
Every time you start believing “this is the one,” you’re already halfway to broke. Fall in love with profits, not logos.
Pepecoin taught me that.
Pepecoin: The Stupidest, Smartest Trade I Ever Made
I entered Pepecoin during a dip because I noticed something unusual:
Influencers weren’t posting.
Liquidity was creeping up, slowly.
Wallets I’d seen in Brett were buying again.
I followed.
Everyone said it was “over.” That it was “too late.”
Cool. I don’t trade timelines. I trade behavior.
That trade 50x’d. Then I added more. Then it 5x’d again.
At this point, my wallet looked like a screenshot from a scam ad. I was scared to check it. I thought it was a glitch.
Nope. It was real. Multi-millions. From memes.
Let’s Talk Traps — So You Stop Getting Rekt
Here’s what’s actually killing your bags:
Chasing green candles like they owe you something. They don’t.
Buying into telegram coins with zero liquidity and a roadmap written by a 14-year-old on Ritalin.
Trusting influencers who get paid 3 ETH to shill garbage they sell 30 minutes later.
Thinking TA works in meme coin land. It doesn’t. TA = “Tragic Analysis” when volume is 90% bots.
You want to survive this? Get smarter than the scams.
The Blueprint (No Secrets, Just Vibes and Violence)
Let me hand you my actual mindset rules:
1. Start small, scale fast. If $5 turns into $20, withdraw $10, ride the rest like it’s already gone.
2. Track smart money wallets. Use tools like DeBank, Arkham, or Bubble Maps. The rich leave fingerprints.
3. Buy fear. Exit greed. If CT is screaming “OVER,” start researching.
4. Take profits like a psychopath. No mercy. Don’t wait for the final boss candle.
5. Never stop learning. This game changes monthly. If you’re not studying, you’re getting eaten.
The Million-Dollar Mindset (You Can Steal This)
Crypto will break your heart, your brain, and your bank — unless you treat it like a warzone.
This isn’t “investing.” This is psychological warfare with liquidity.
You need grit. You need curiosity. And you need to laugh at your own mistakes — while learning from them ruthlessly.
I didn’t get rich because I was smart. I got rich because I stopped being dumb.
And now?
I’m just some guy who used to have $25 and a dream.
And no, I’m not selling you a course.
No signals.
No Telegram group.
Just this article.
And if it hits you the right way — maybe, just maybe — you’ll stop being the victim and start becoming the predator.
Now go. Flip something stupid. But do it smart.
