Original Title: "2023 Anxiety Moment Collection: Everywhere is Hundredfold and Thousandfold, You Must Be Free"

Original Author: Frank, Foresight News

"暴富" has always been one of the familiar yet unfamiliar terms in the cryptocurrency industry.

Strangeness lies in the fact that many friends who have been in the industry for years have been striving for this goal, but have yet to touch even a fraction of it; familiarity lies in the fact that in every wave of crypto narrative, there are uninterrupted "get-rich-quick stories" appearing in sight, constantly stirring everyone's nerves.

As 2023 draws to a close, this article from Foresight News has specifically selected those widely circulated "enviable" stories of sudden wealth this year (assuming that there is truth to the accompanying images), let us all feel the anxiety.

Old topic of airdrops making people rich

Since the beginning of UNI in 2020, token airdrops for cryptocurrency projects have been the main distribution center for the "get rich quick" myth in the cryptocurrency industry.

And this year's large-scale token airdrops still brought surprises to many users, especially after the start of the year, BLUR and ARB ignited the airdrop craze.

In February of this year, Blur distributed a total of 360 million BLUR tokens to over 62,000 addresses that met its airdrop conditions. The single address that received the most tokens received 3.2 million BLUR, which is worth approximately $1.6 million today, or 10 million yuan.

Meanwhile, the number of applicants ranked second and third in the airdrop are 2.97 million BLUR and 2.5 million BLUR respectively. Trading activities show that the top three wallet trading activities involve repeated buying and selling of a large number of identical NFTs, indicating the possibility of wash trading or pre-arranged operations.

Subsequent ARB, TIA, and JTO airdrops, although limited in their ability to create wealth through single address participation, have also produced stories of individuals becoming rich through participation in multiple address airdrops. We will not delve into these stories further at this time.

The Wealth Miracle of Inscription "Three Horses"

ORDI: From 350 yuan to 14 million yuan

As one of the leading players in the field of encryption, ORDI, as a part of the Inscription Track, was initially overlooked during its casting in the first half of the year. There were even dozens of transfers in WeChat groups that went unnoticed.

And among them, there was a lucky person who saved money by "screwing for Foxconn", spent 350 yuan to buy 30 ORDI (30,000 ORDI), and finally succeeded in turning it into 14 million yuan.

If the lucky winner is not sold, the highest value of 30,000 ORDI is 2.46 million US dollars, nearly 17.5 million yuan.

SATS: Three months, 170 times return

According to a Twitter user named "Minus Two Degrees," the SATS that he personally bought with 0.6 BTC in October have increased by over 20 times in value, reaching 13 BTC after 2 months.

In addition, community members have purchased a total of 300 billion SATS from August to September, with the highest return being over 170 times.

RATS: Half a month, 5,000 yuan to 1 million yuan

As a glyph in the industry, RATS has also created a myth of benefiting from 5,000 yuan to 1 million yuan in half a month.

In addition, the Web3 world is a paradise for technical talents and hackers. Therefore, in addition to directly participating in engraving, people who sell shovels and water are often winners in the gold rush.

A programmer spent a week developing a tool to help the community inscribe runes. A total of 20% of SATS has been inscribed, and the corresponding market value of SATS currently exceeds 200 million US dollars.

New God of Cryptocurrency

As the oldest narrative in the cryptocurrency industry, PoW almost every year produces a myth of the rise of a PoW coin. This year, the new generation of PoW coin god is undoubtedly Kaspa (KAS).

大学生的第一个 100 倍与 200 万

The first 100 times and 2 million for college students

In August, a college student's story of scrimping and saving to gamble on KAS and winning their first 100x coin went viral online.

One of the students who is still in college went all-in with all of their living expenses and New Year's money, totaling 19,800 yuan, on KAS. They even "ate meals with classmates for free" at one point, but finally made it through and gained their first 100x return and 2 million yuan in life.

From what we can see, if this student continues to hold on until now, it is very likely that they have already earned their first 250 times and 5 million in their life.

In August, the market price of KAS was still around $0.04. It then rose steadily and on November 17th, Binance launched U-based contracts. As of the time of writing, KAS has stabilized above $0.1. Based on this calculation, this student's investment of 19,800 yuan has increased by at least 250 times, reaching 5 million yuan.

Looking back now, the rise in KAS's price can be traced back to its listing on TxBit at the end of May 2022. At that time, the lowest price of KAS was 0.0002 USD. In September of the same year, KAS was listed on MEXC, and the price quickly soared to 0.008 USD at one point.
