💸 STORY: “THE SECURITY GUARD & PEPE COIN – A DREAM OF 3.5 BILLION DONG". (based on a true story)
🐸 Mr. Bao, 39 years old, works as a security guard for an office building in Ho Chi Minh City. His monthly salary is only about 6 million dong. He has a peculiar hobby: every free evening, he researches crypto and meme coins, despite being laughed at by friends and colleagues.
🐸 One night in April 2023, after his shift, he read in a group that a new coin named PEPE (after the famous frog meme) had just launched. Many people said it was “trash,” but Mr. Bao thought:
🐸 Since it's called a meme coin, you have to take a risk. If you lose, you'll only lose a bowl of noodles, but what if you win?
🐸 He bravely invested exactly 1 million dong – the money saved from many days of eating street food. Just for fun.
The next day, PEPE increased by 1,200%. Before he could sell, it continued to double, quintuple, then increase twenty-fold. In total, after 12 days, his wallet had more than 3.5 billion dong (calculated at the peak price at that time).
🔥 What’s the lesson here:
Never underestimate knowledge, even if it comes from an old phone and a few free minutes after work.
1 million dong can't buy a house, but it can buy a chance to change your life. 💰💰💰
