$ETH The Wealth and Transformation of Cryptocurrency Brothers

Brother A · Dog Pool

Back in 2018, this guy and his partner casually wrote a white paper, and even the code was ripped from GitHub. As a result, on the day the project went live on the exchange, there were only 5 real people in the project group — the rest were all bots they created themselves. Even so, they managed to rake in 12 million, returned home, and bought a building in cash. Now, the first thing he does when he wakes up every day is sigh at the K-line: "Damn! If I had just held onto that shitcoin project for another three months, I could have bought a whole street."

Brother B

During the bull market of 2021, this brother put in 200,000 and went all in on animal coins, and in three months, his account shot up to 300. The funniest part was that he liquidated everything the day before May 19 and sent a screenshot to the group saying, "I'm going to get a big G car," and the next day the entire network crashed, with the group accusing him of being a spy for the dog pool. Now he’s a landlord in a second-tier city, but when he drinks too much, he pounds the table: "Damn! If I had known I should have held that shitcoin for another week… I could have bought the whole neighborhood!"

Brother C

Started from a rental apartment in Shenzhen, at his peak he was managing 200 accounts to claim airdrops, and the sound of his computer fan was louder than a helicopter. The most ridiculous part was on the day a certain project released its coin; he used a script to automatically sell coins, and the amount that came through scared the exchange's customer service into raising alarms — they thought hackers had arrived. Last year he made over 200, but this year he was counter-squeezed, and now he’s eating instant noodles while modifying code: "This time the on-chain interaction gas fee must be capped within 0.0003 seconds..."

Now the group chat among the brothers has taken a turn:

A is working as a "compliance consultant" for exchanges, teaching shitcoins to wear suits.

B has transitioned to "crypto education
