Trading Notes: How I Turned $100 into My First Million?
From the initial cautious dipping of toes to later blindly buying newly launched tokens at launch—this was all driven by information asymmetry.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsHaving been around the crypto scene for years, I've witnessed countless people turning small investments into massive wealth, achieving financial freedom. Without exception, their success came either from platform advantages, sheer luck, or blatant information asymmetry. This time, leveraging information disparity and fast execution, I turned 100 USDT into my first million—reaching that milestone in about 20 days. It wasn't a heart-pounding or high-risk journey; rather, it was mainly about accurate information assessment and blind trust in LBank’s "global first-listing" advantage. Amid this year's explosive MEME coin market, these three exchanges oddly overlooked the MEME coin赛道. Seeing many group members rushing into MEME coins and making substantial profits, I decided to allocate a small portion of funds to test the waters and see if I could also profit from MEME coins.
I then researched several exchanges frequently launching new MEME coins, including Poloniex, BitMart, CoinEx, XT, and LBank. I deposited small amounts into each and followed market sentiment and exchange announcements, occasionally jumping into new MEME coins. After using them in parallel a few times, I chose to focus primarily on LBank and began keeping detailed records. Now, I’ll walk you through my experience chronologically as a “trading diary.” As for why I ultimately picked LBank, I'll explain that after you’ve read through the diary.
Below is my trading diary, supported by screenshots.
July 10 – Bitcoin: Cloudy
Today marked my first trade on LBank. At 13:00, right when the market opened, I bought $ROCKY worth 100 USDT at 0.008001. I waited patiently. The price peaked at 0.04003. I couldn’t believe how strong this sector was—my first trade already yielded a fivefold return. I cashed out immediately and waited for the next opportunity.
July 11 – Bitcoin: Sunny turning cloudy
No global first-listing project on LBank today… waiting…
July 12 – Bitcoin: Partly cloudy turning sunny
Still no global first-listing on LBank. Waiting…
July 13 – Bitcoin: Sunny
LBank still hasn’t launched any global first-listing. Can’t wait anymore—I’m reporting them to the “Crypto Committee.”
July 14 – Bitcoin: Sunny
Finally, on this day, LBank announced a global first-listing: $FIGHT launching at 23:00. I bought in immediately at 0.01. Market enthusiasm looked huge, so I held. Later, $FIGHTSOL was listed, but I’ve never liked copycats, so I stuck with $FIGHT.
July 15 – Bitcoin: Clear skies, not a cloud in sight
Continued holding $FIGHT. Today’s gain: 69.68%. These numbers suggest more upside—holding for now.
July 16 – Bitcoin: Heavy rain turning sunny
As expected, early movers secure stable returns while latecomers struggle to catch up. As other exchanges gradually listed $FIGHT, my profits kept doubling. Today’s surge reached 230.89%. Holding a bit longer—will reassess tomorrow.
July 17 – Bitcoin: Cloudy
Today’s operations were complex—a detailed log: I held $FIGHT until this morning. Seeing that $MAPE would have a global first-listing at 13:00, I sold all $FIGHT at noon for 0.081—locking in a sevenfold gain;
At 13:00, I bought $MAPE at 0.0000315. Shortly after, I saw that $FEARNOT would list at 17:30. Given its strong association with Trump, I decided to exit $MAPE at 17:00 for 0.0000402, securing a 27.62% profit;
At 17:30, I bought $FEARNOT at 0.00004. Unfortunately, the price kept declining afterward.
July 18 – Bitcoin: Uncertain weather
Today, another new token launched. Since $FEARNOT had dropped significantly, I decided to switch. At 12:30, I swapped into $MIGGLES. Sold $FEARNOT at 0.000035—achieving 0.875x return, meaning a 12.5% loss on this leg.
Bought $MIGGLES at 0.025. Although LBank listed $SWAG at 13:00, I noticed $MIGGLES had stronger market momentum, so I held. (Later note: Right after I sold $FEARNOT, it doubled. Damn it.)
I continued holding $MIGGLES until the next move. During this period, $MIGGLES briefly hit 0.1. I didn’t sell—kept holding.
July 19 – Bitcoin: Sunny
At 13:00 today, another LBank global first-listing arrived. $MIGGLES was at 0.81, so I swiftly switched to $BILL at 0.00002. Secured a 2.24x gain on $MIGGLES.
From here on, I repeated the same strategy: whenever a new global first-listing appeared, I’d liquidate my current holdings and go all-in on the new token.
July 22 at 13:00: Swapped into $DMAGA – nearly break-even;
July 22 at 13:30: Swapped into $KAMA – gained 68.3%;
July 25 at 14:00: Swapped into $HARRIS – big loss, down 51.88%;
July 26 at 13:00: Swapped into $SCF – gained 64%;
July 29 at 14:00: Swapped into $NEIROETH – gained 386.15%;
Starting capital: 100 USDT. Current balance: 187,532.03 USDT, equivalent to 1,365,233 CNY.
Now you probably understand why I chose LBank. In the early stages of the market, MEME coin price swings are extremely volatile. From my trading timeline, you can see that timing—the time gap—is crucial to profiting in the MEME space. This time advantage manifests across exchanges through listing speed. LBank stands out by listing MEME coins quickly and frequently, creating real opportunities for rapid wealth accumulation.
Too many Confucius, too few Lubans
Rather than platforms boasting about wallet partnerships today and sponsorship deals tomorrow, I’d rather stick with ones that deliver quietly and effectively. This industry still has too many talkers (Confucius) and too few doers (Luban). Before sharing this story, I hesitated—should I really lay it out so bluntly? People have heard wealth tales since 2018; ears are calloused, eyes nearly dry. But when I saw my account balance climb, the joy and sense of achievement were indescribable. Perhaps this million means little in this industry (at least that’s what everyone claims), but it’s something I actually achieved step by step.
As an ordinary retail trader, grand platform campaigns often feel irrelevant (truthfully). I understand that as platforms grow more competitive—driven by user acquisition costs and marketing events—many are drifting further from retail users, focusing instead on whales’ privileges and fee contributions. What baffles me is that many exchanges deliberately avoid listing MEME Alpha tokens just to make depth and liquidity appear healthier, only adding them once volume stabilizes. Then what’s the point of retail trading? Looking back at these past twenty days—from cautious testing to blindly buying every first-listed token—it all came down to information asymmetry. And LBank gave me that edge.
In crypto, opportunities abound—but information asymmetry truly matters. MEME coins are lucrative. Exchanges should focus on serving users properly.
