800x overnight

Unfortunately, I’m still not a millionaire

Should I start with the good news or the bad news.


I guess with the good news.


The good news is I too, like so many other crypto bros apparently, was finally able to see a random token I hold 800x. At peak, the screen showed ‘1000x’.


The bad news is I’m still not rich, because the amount I invested was negligible.


It all started on a slow train to a small wine town nearly a year ago.


I was bored so I bought some SOL.


And then I thought, “why the hell not”, and also bought some Bonk.


I bought a few million Bonk for $20, and the price obviously immediately began crashing.


But it was only $20 (well, more like $5 at that point) so I was like, “whatever”.


Fast-forward to December 2023 and the situation is a lot rosier.


My Bonk investment was now worth a few hundred dollars so I sold some of it and, upon checking my transaction history, I discovered I received a Bern (BonkEarn) airdrop back in May.


This was free money so I sold most of it for Doggo, which is another random airdrop I got, which is the only reason I knew about Doggo.


And this, too, was a bit random.


There’s only one way to swap Bern and that is to connect your Solana wallet with a DEX called Jupiter.


The swapping fees were outrageous, but a bit less so with Doggo, which is the sole reason I used that instead of SOL or USDC or what-have-you.


After swapping Bern for Doggo, I sold most of it and since Doggo is worth so little (a few billion tokens is equivalent to a few dollars), I thought why not, and sold most of it except for a few billion tokens, which again is worth a few dollars.


I went out for dinner, got back home and noticed that Doggo had 500xed in the last 24 hours, so I sold most of it, then I went to sleep and Doggo had now 1000x (850x at the time of writing).



Again, this is in the last 24 hours.


So I’m not selling anymore.


I now own a few million Bonk and a few billion Doggo, even after selling most of it.


The amount I made is not life changing, not even month changing, but it’s enough to pay for beers and meals for the next five or six days.


Doggo had an ATH of $0.01 (give or take) and if it gets back to that, I’ll be a millionaire (to be honest, I don’t think it will).


But even if it doesn’t and it goes to zero, I’ll still have lost a lot less than I’ve made. So I’m a happy man today.
