A trader bought the meme coin $TROLL on the Solana chain for only $173. Four months later, it soared to $224,000, with a return rate of 360,000 times, once again igniting the craze in the meme coin market.
The investment began in December 2024, when the total market value of $TROLL was only $6,510 and few people paid attention to it. However, on April 20, 2025 (coincidentally a symbolic date in meme culture), the coin soared by nearly 60,000% in a single day, and its market value once reached $20 million.
$TROLL is inspired by the Internet meme "Trollface", created by Carlos Ramirez in 2008. Although it has been released for nearly a year and almost no one cares about it, under the ignition of market sentiment and the blessing of meme culture, this "forgotten emoticon" has suddenly become synonymous with wealth myths.
This surge in prices once again proves that in the cryptocurrency world, the craziest stories of getting rich quickly often start with a few dollars.
According to Solscan data, he bought TROLL for 0.8 SOL on December 16, 2024, and began to sell it in batches when the market value exploded on April 21. So far, he has made a profit of $155,000 through 97 transactions and still holds tokens with a market value of $126,000.
It is worth noting that TROLL has been volatile recently: it plummeted from a market value of $8.4 million to $3.8 million, and then soared to $25 million, with a price roller coaster. As of press time, the token is trading at $0.01929, the market value has fallen back to $20 million, and the value of traders' accounts has also fallen simultaneously.
This operation demonstrates the high risk and high return of the meme coin market. Although the opportunity to get rich quickly is tempting, there are also huge fluctuations and uncertainties behind it.
Memecoin: The high-risk game behind the myth of getting rich quickly
It is common for small bets to bring huge returns in the crypto market: someone made 3 million $PNUT with 16 US dollars, someone used 5,000 US dollars to exchange for 1.5 million $GOAT, and someone made tens of millions with $MOODENG, but almost lost it all because he did not cash out in time.
Such tokens often become popular overnight, but can also be cut in half in an instant, and extreme volatility is the norm. Although $TROLL brought a trader millions of profits, most experts warn that meme coins usually lack fundamental support and are more like speculation than investment.
Even so, similar stories of "getting rich overnight" continue to attract dreamers to enter the market, and the meme coin market continues to expand amid controversy. For most people, it is a high-risk game, not a sure-win strategy.
