How did an unknown sucker counterattack life? He turned 100 dollars into a millionaire in just 10 days!
In the online novel 'Ten Days of End', a group of people accidentally entered a 'land of end', experiencing a cycle of life and death every ten days, where they lived and died. In order to escape from this place, they must participate in a death game designed by the 'twelve zodiac signs'. However, after one ten-day period after another, they are trapped in the cycle, with continuous killing and endless hope.
The protagonist in the book once said, 'When I thought it was just an ordinary day, I found myself trapped in the end. When I thought I could escape by constantly participating in death games, I found that everyone started to awaken supernatural powers. When I thought this place was the 'Land of Gods', everything was heading towards destruction.'
The encryption market is like a digital version of the 'end of the world'. People choose different games (underlying assets) in the cycle, winning the 'tao' (chips) from other players (PVP) or the referee (dealer), experiencing the feeling of wealth growth or disillusionment in a very short time. Each round has winners or losers, but the cycle never stops.
The protagonist of today, X, an unknown sucker in the crypto world. But on September 8th of this year, his life trajectory changed once again. A meme coin called 'Terminus' allowed him to earn over 1 million dollars in 10 days.
My name is X and I'm going to start "telling stories".
First Pot of Gold: DOGE Coin and BiHu
My relationship with Crypto Assets began in July 2017.
At that time, I was still a junior student, mingling in a circle of domain name traders. It was during the ICO craze, and I saw people in the community talking about Cryptocurrency, with daily gains of up to 20%. For a college student like me, that was an extremely exaggerated number. Driven by curiosity, I plunged into the crypto world and spent 500 yuan to buy my first Cryptocurrency - DOGE. Why did I buy it? Apart from being cheap, among the various strange Tokens, I felt that its logo was the most fun.
But soon, the domestic 94 cleaning policy came, and due to the half-understanding of the concept of Wallet, I could only reluctantly sell the DOGE in my hand. But just two months later, the prices of BTC and Ethereum began to soar, with BTC reaching a high point of $19800. The frenzy of BTC made me itch, so I chose to gain a deeper understanding of the crypto world.
In 2018, there was a very forward-looking crypto world vertical community called BiHu. Its mechanism was "Write to Earn", where users could earn Token incentives by posting on the platform. This Cryptocurrency-based application also caught Vitalik's interest today.
As a student, I hesitated to participate in this low-threshold ecology.
I didn't expect to make my first bucket of gold in life like this. I have been updating articles on it for a long time, and once ranked in the top twenty on Coinhu. I can earn tens of thousands of RMB coins a month just by writing articles. For a college student in 2018, I exclaimed that this industry is so profitable.
After graduating, I joined a Cryptocurrency research institution without hesitation and started to focus on the secondary market. At that time, the market was still in a deep bear market, and the institution I was in early layouted many high-quality secondary projects. My brother, who worked with me and was also my university classmate, seized this opportunity. He held $AAVE, sold in the middle, and finally made more than 100 times profit directly To The Moon. My colleagues around me also made enough capital in this wave and resigned one after another. I made some money in the FOMO and lost my mindset because of some altcoins.
It was 2019, I was just starting out, but fortunately witnessed others' path to financial freedom. My opportunity was right behind me.
Second bucket of gold: $BNB and $BAKE
I realized that there were not many opportunities in the crypto world industry in the city I was in, so I chose to switch to the media in a big city. The crypto world media back then was different from now, closer to the project parties. This choice opened up my path to madness.
At that time, during the bull market, Binance launched the BSC smart chain. I realized that this could be an ecological outbreak opportunity similar to Ethereum. I invested all my money, and even used various leverages to invest all the funds I could raise into $BNB. At that time, $BNB was priced at $15 (Editor's note: as of the time of writing, the price of $BNB is $770).
Looking back, I don't know why I had the courage to gamble like that. The good news is I won the bet, the bad news is I didn't hold on to it.
But when the fortune comes, you can't stop it. With this wave of capital, I started to participate in various early-stage projects, such as brick-moving and Mining. At that time, there was a project called $BAKE, and I participated in its Mining. Later I realized that as the leader of Non-fungible Token, OpenSea had not yet launched the coin. This could be a big opportunity, so I bought 5% of the Circulating Supply at a very low price.
As the price of the project token rose, I looked at the digits in my account and couldn't handle the pump myself. As a recent college graduate, I had never seen so much money in my life. I couldn't resist the temptation and sold it. I sold 30 million in the end and participated in projects with particularly high sell-offs in between.
Every success has inflated my confidence once, and I began to participate more aggressively in derivative financial products until 519 in 2021. I leveraged 3 times and lost millions, which made me much more sober.
After careful consideration, I realized that this time, it's my turn to resign.
The Third Bucket of Gold: Musk and Mars City
After converting most of my wealth into real assets, I stayed at home for a year, leaving only a portion of the initial funds in the crypto world. After the FTX scam, I started to 'sweep the goods' again, mainly in the Ether Square and the Ether Square system, and hit many projects in the 2023 bull market.
The market in the first half of this year was actually average, and the hottest thing was memes. The time came to September 8, 2024, which became another important milestone in my investment career.
On September 8, while browsing Musk's Twitter, I found that he said that he would land on Mars in two years and build a self-sufficient city on it. ACCORDING TO COMMUNITY RESEARCH, MUSK QUOTED THE CONCEPT PROPOSED BY THE FAMOUS SCIENCE FICTION WRITER ASIMOV IN THE "BASE" SERIES AS EARLY AS FEBRUARY 2020, AND REGARDED "TERMINUS" AS A "NEW HIGHLAND FOR MANKIND".

I have always been a fan of Musk, and the Musk concept is a hot meme. Coincidentally, this meme coin is one of my favorite 5 major industries: AI, space, life sciences, energy, and robotics, which have a profound impact on humanity.
As a hardcore fan of Musk, I decisively bought the same-named $TERMINUS (capitalized version) Token at a very low price below a total market value of $10,000, becoming an early investor. My investment amount is $136.
The day after buying, the market exploded like a ignited powder keg. Musk's little brother, a KOL 'DogeFather' tweet, made $TERMINUS coinMarket Capbig pump 50 times. My $100 turned into more than $5,000, and I feel like I can accept the loss even if I lose this money.
Having seen the previous madness, although I was excited, I firmly believe that this is just the beginning and choose to continue holding. However, the market's changes always catch people off guard, and then $TERMINUS coin encountered a fierce Whipsaw, with prices falling sharply by more than 70%, causing many people to get out of positions. But this time, I, who have seen many storms, did not retreat.
On September 21st, the 'DogeFather' tweeted again, and many investors discovered this undervalued opportunity. In just three days, $TERMINUS pumped 600 times, but for me, it should have increased by more than ten thousand times from the low point to the high point. $TERMINUS has started a crazy upward trend, and the market capitalization has skyrocketed from 200,000 to 5 million, and then continued to rise, reaching a peak of 48 million US dollars.
Once, I glanced at my Address and found that it was worth over $1 million, but I still didn't have the desire to sell. I firmly believe that it has greater potential. Now that the hype has passed, the $TERMINUS Market Cap has dropped back to $14 million. But the real narrative cycle has not yet begun. I have always believed that if Musk can land on Mars, investing in space memes is the easiest way for ordinary people to participate in the space race.
Afterword
My child was born last year, and now I have an idea that I think besides wealth, people's thoughts and cognition are also inherited, and these are the core production data. So I think it can be said that nurturing a family through early accumulation in one's own hands, the power of one person is limited, but the power of a family is strong. It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to educate a person. If I successfully cultivate a family, there will be people continuously amplifying my wealth in the future.
