There was a girl in the group who worked in front-end development. A couple of years ago she was working in Nanshan, with a take-home salary of eighteen thousand, and there was always one tuft of hair sticking up when she tied her hair back.
At the beginning of 2021, there was some testnet interaction. It was just filling out forms for fun and picking things up casually. Later, more than two hundred tokens were airdropped to her. At the time they were sitting in her wallet, worth less than one yuan. She stared at them for half a month and then sold them, saying they were too much trouble to think about. The middleman fee was even more expensive than the coins, and she often joked about it.
Last August she quit and went back to her hometown. Her younger aunt needed to raise money for surgery, and there was a shortfall of one hundred thousand. She took out all her savings from these past years, but there was still a gap of over twenty thousand. She rummaged through her wallet for a long time and saw that there were still over three hundred of those coins left. At the beginning of the year there had only been seventy, and she couldn’t even remember when the rest had dropped in again.
She had orders hanging for half a month, clearing them bit by bit until only a little over fifty were left, and she finally raised enough money. The night she transferred the money, she bought a bottle of iced red tea from the convenience store downstairs and said that this counted as her helping out.
Her second nephew asked whether she regretted selling so early. She said the strange thing was that she didn’t regret it. The fifty-five thousand yuan cost had helped her raise real money. What she did regret was those fifty-something coins. She felt that once the money was enough, she didn’t need them anymore, and then one pullback later, with a twitch of her hand, she sold them all.
Recently, while talking with someone, she went back to check the transaction records from that time. If those fifty-something coins were still there now, they would be worth a fortune.
After finishing the conversion, she added one more sentence: she still hopes her younger aunt is doing well now.
Have you ever sold a coin too early and watched it moon? Tell me about it, so I know it’s not just me being stubborn.
