On-chain Wind and Cloud: Chapter Zero - He traded a mnemonic phrase for a building
"Did you really... sell your house and go ALL IN on BitGoblin?"
Song Xun stared at the string of mnemonic phrases flashing on the old iPhone, his throat swallowing hard. The man across from him chuckled and nodded, his expression like he was telling a boring joke.
"Not one, but two and a half. Bishan, Singapore, by the river with a swimming pool."
His name is Li Xiao, known in the crypto community as the 'On-chain Madman.' In 2021, he picked up three million from airdrop sweeping on Solana in one night; in 2023, he made six figures through GMX liquidity mining, and he had been followed by wallets seven times, with hackers treating him to Starbucks and sending NFT apology cards.
And this time, he did something even crazier - he traded over thirty BitGoblins he had hoarded during the bear market for a cash transaction three-story villa in Singapore.
This is a coin that everyone says is a scam, with the issuer not even finishing their website, relying solely on a headline on X (formerly Twitter) saying "Goblin will replace Ordinals," which surged 20 times in 24 hours.
"What makes you so sure it will go up?"
Li Xiao shifted his gaze from his phone to Song Xun, "Because there are 12 addresses on-chain that belong to big whales from the last Ethereum bull market, and they have all been accumulating recently. There's another detail - three hours before Uniswap went live, a certain wallet withdrew 500,000 USDC from MakerDAO and only bought Goblin."
Song Xun was stunned.
Li Xiao got up, opened the balcony door, and looked down at the entire Bishan riverside.
"Our generation doesn't rely on salary, connections, or luck; we rely on our understanding of the chain. The more you understand, the more you can live like a Bug and be unreasonable."
He turned around and left a sentence:
"Buddy, BitGoblin is still at 39 cents. Want to get a truckload?"
