From 'being cut' to discovering SIREN
At the beginning of 2024, I was still an ordinary worker in an internet company working 996, earning a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan while burdened with a mortgage and parenting pressure. At that time, Bitcoin had just broken its previous high, and the 'wealth myths' were flooding my social circle. Unable to hold back, I entered the market but lost 300,000 yuan in savings while following the trend of speculating on meme coins.
The turning point appeared in March 2025: I accidentally came across a deep analysis titled (SIREN: The Next Hundredfold Coin in AI + Meme?). The author mentioned a detail—DWF Labs secretly accumulated SIREN with an investment of $540,000, and the project team planned to launch an 'AI trading robot.' This reminded me of the logic behind OpenAI's world disruption: AI + vertical scene = nuclear-level demand.
That night, I combed through SIREN's whitepaper and community discussions, discovering three key signals:
1. Binance support: It was included in the Alpha program and received a liquidity reward of $600,000 upon launch;
2. The number of holding addresses skyrocketed: growing from 5,000 to 30,000 within 3 months, with the community's Telegram daily messages exceeding ten thousand;
3. Technical roadmap: Release an AI-driven NFT generator in 6 months, directly targeting the market gap at that time.
At 3 am, I gritted my teeth and transferred my last 100,000 yuan to buy 55,555 SIREN at a unit price of $0.18.
An 80% crash and 'faith recharge'
One week after buying, SIREN suddenly plummeted to $0.036 (an 80% drop!). It turned out that a certain exchange was exposed for volume manipulation, causing the meme sector to collapse. My wife found out and had a huge fight with me, even suggesting divorce.
What truly kept me going was the project's 'abnormal operations':
- The BNB Chain Foundation increased its holdings against the trend, publicly declaring 'long-term optimism for the AI + Memecoin narrative';
- The community initiated a 'snapshot airdrop for 10,000 holders' event, requiring wallet balances to be ≥ 1000 SIREN, leading to a doubling of on-chain locked amounts overnight;
- The project CEO demonstrated the beta version of the AI trading assistant during an AMA, capable of automatically analyzing on-chain whale movements, with live users exclaiming 'This is the Alpha catcher!'
I did two things:
1. Mortgaged property to add 200,000 yuan, buying in batches in the $0.05 range;
2. Joined the SIREN Chinese community and became a volunteer translator for AMA content, unexpectedly gaining early testing qualifications.
Binance launched the 'Nuclear Explosion Moment' with AI features
In September 2025, a turning point arrived—SIREN announced its launch on Binance's main site! Within 5 minutes of the news release, the price soared from $0.25 to $1.2. But the real miracle happened 3 days later: the AI trading assistant was officially opened, allowing users to stake 500 SIREN to receive real-time trading signals from smart money addresses on-chain.
The data is insane:
- The staking volume broke 200 million tokens within a week, drastically reducing the circulating supply;
- A certain KOL used an AI assistant to preemptively target a certain meme coin's rise 12 hours in advance, yielding a return of 300%, with video views exceeding ten million;
- BNB Chain announced a $100 million investment to support the SIREN ecosystem, and DWF Labs doubled its holdings to 6 million tokens.
At this point, the value of my holdings had exceeded $2 million, but I chose to 'lie flat': because the transaction fees generated by the AI assistant would be proportionally burned, under the deflationary model, every time the coin price breaks a previous high, the community's FOMO sentiment would accelerate another round.
The ultimate password to financial freedom—ecological explosion
In March 2026, SIREN's market value surpassed $5 billion, becoming the first 'AI + Meme' project to reach the top 20 on CoinMarketCap. Three ecological outbreak events completely rewrote my fate:
1. The AI NFT generator 'SIREN Art' launched, allowing users to generate oracle-style artworks by inputting candlestick charts, with trading volume on Opensea crushing BAYC;
2. Collaborated with Binance Pay to launch 'AI Consumption Rebate,' where holders automatically receive SIREN rewards for global QR code payments;
3. Grayscale Fund applied for a SIREN trust, with institutional holdings exceeding 35%.
When the coin price reached $18, I sold 60% of my position in batches, netting $8 million after tax. The remaining holdings are still staked for mining, generating about $20,000 in passive income each month.
Epilogue: The harsh truth behind sudden wealth
Now I write this text lightly, but I must expose two truths:
1. I almost failed: I was liquidated due to leveraged lending and begged my wife not to leave at 3 am;
2. 99% of people can't hold on: Community surveys show that 80% of users liquidate their positions before the coin price triples, with only 2% experiencing a hundredfold increase.
If you ask me the core reason for my success?
- It's not luck, but rather in-depth research into the project's fundamentals, such as the AI burn mechanism;
- It's not gambling, but rather utilizing community resources to build an information network, such as early testing qualifications that allow me to perceive ecological value in advance;
- The most important: believe in logic rather than emotion in the darkest moments.
