Nine years ago, I went all-in with 50,000 RMB and ended up with 200 million DOGE. At that time, I was sitting in front of my computer, staring at the string of zeros in my account, imagining the scene of getting rich overnight. And what happened? In 2017, policy adjustments led to the shutdown of exchanges, and everything turned to bubbles. I was really angry at that time, feeling that this circle was just a big scam, and I decisively exited.

The turning point came from a sentence my brother said. In 2020, he told me, "Why are you always waiting? You should participate and build." He suggested I invest another 50,000 RMB to buy SHIB, which at that time still had 9 zeros. I didn’t think too much and just did it, then started posting on community forums, writing analyses, and sharing ideas. My brother explained that this is called "preaching," which is contributing to community consensus. Honestly, I was still a bit confused at that time.

But what happened later completely changed my understanding of all this.

The power of consensus is much stronger than I imagined. When a well-known figure casually mentions a Shiba Inu-related topic on social media, the entire market explodes. That night, the numbers in my wallet started jumping wildly—50,000 turned into 800,000, then 1 million, and finally reached 15 million USD. I didn’t even have time to look at candlestick charts; I just watched these numbers keep rising. At that moment, I truly understood: MEME is not a joke or gambling, but a wealth phenomenon woven by ordinary people through faith and participation.

Since then, my identity has changed. I am no longer a bystander but an active participant. During the 2023 PEPE explosion, I witnessed the power of the community firsthand. Every time I discussed on forums, shared, or explained the story behind a project, I was contributing bricks to this building of consensus. When that iconic news was released in 2024, I, like thousands of others, felt my heartbeat quicken—but this was not luck; it was the foundation we had already laid.

Looking back, I realize my understanding has undergone a complete transformation. Initially, I thought the crypto world was a game for a few elites and big capital, and that ordinary people just sent money in. Now I know that MEME coins are actually a genuine grassroots movement. It doesn’t look at your background or how much money you have; it only cares whether you believe and whether you are willing to support a story with action.

The most important lesson I’ve learned over these years is: participation itself is value. You don’t need to be a big V in a certain field, nor do you need to have secret information. You just need to sincerely understand the project, interact with the community, and share your ideas. In this process, you are not only helping others recognize opportunities but also strengthening your own understanding of the market.

If you are also reading this article, maybe you have thought about changing your life through this market. What I want to tell you is: opportunities do exist, but they don’t come from luck or insider information; they come from your level of participation and your contribution to community consensus. Every discussion you post, every share you make, every time you help others understand a project, is preparing for a possible wave.

There are still many opportunities waiting in this market; the key is whether you are ready.
