If you were to ask who the hottest meme trader on X recently is, I might say it's the "Sit-and-HODL Kid."
During a live stream on January 13, 2026, he made a daily profit of $78,400, becoming a sensation on X, ascending to the new "Version Son" meme trader KOL, and even spawning a namesake meme coin.
Coming from the Goldfrog Group, the "Sit-and-HODL Kid" has a deep understanding of meme culture. More importantly, he spent nearly a year watching foreign traders' live streams to learn rug pulling, with his Twitter monitoring technique being "apprenticed" to Solana chain's top trader @clukzSOL. The "Sit-and-HODL Kid" has now transplanted these methodologies into the BNB memecoin market. From initial simple imitation to developing a personal style, throughout this process, he continuously optimized hardware setups, tool parameters, and mental resilience.
A ViewSonic 600Hz monitor and a newly switched Razer mouse are the most common equipment for the "Sit-and-HODL Kid." For someone who sits idle on-chain for over 12 hours a day, these items are almost more familiar and commonly used than a bed.

Sit-and-HODL Kid's PC Setup
The other day, during a chat with a friend about memecoin trading, my friend made a vivid remark: "In the past, playing with memes was hand-to-hand combat in the nude, but now those who are still in the market are all wearing level three helmets and armor. Ordinary people landing will be headshot immediately."
This statement couldn't be more fitting for the "Sit-and-HODL Kid." However, having good equipment is just the basics. What truly makes him stand out is his entire set of systematic operational methods.
But merely having good equipment is not enough to become a recent star trader. What truly sets him apart is his operational methods on the BNB chain, and all of this can be captured through some details in his live streams.
Firstly, I noticed that the "Sit-and-HODL Kid" has a robust monitoring system, including monitoring on Web2 platforms like Weibo and WeChat official accounts, enabling him to be on top of major trends immediately; social media monitoring on the GMGN platform to access foreign and Web3 industry information.

The GMGN platform is his core trading tool, integrating address monitoring, social media tracking, contract security checks, and other functions into a unified interface through customized keyboard shortcuts and parameter optimization.
On the hardware side, as mentioned earlier, the Zowie 600Hz refresh rate monitor paired with a high-performance Razer gaming mouse provides a key advantage in millisecond-level competition on the BNB chain. Similarly, network speed is crucial, with AFK Master's network environment optimized through router and dedicated VPN connections to ensure the lowest latency connection to on-chain nodes.
AFK Master's GMGN latency is only just over 20 milliseconds, a number far lower than the average retail trader, allowing him to capture information more quickly. When many hotspots emerge, he focuses on the first mover, which is generally the fastest.
During the golden time of new coin launches on the BNB chain, AFK Master typically completes a buy within 5 seconds. Many people ask, "What about after buying? Is he watching the candlestick charts?" In fact, before that question is even finished, AFK Master is already preparing to sell.
In other words, he completes the entire process from establishing a position to liquidation within 48-61 seconds. This "blitzkrieg" strategy is specifically designed to capture the brief price surge window following a new coin's listing.
Contrary to most people's assumptions, AFK Master, who spends 12 hours a day on-chain, does not participate in every narrative. In essence, he only targets 2 major hotspots and 1 minor hotspot in an hour, selling without greed. Most of his time is actually spent AFK, waiting for opportunities. AFK Master's single sniper investment is 5.1 BNB (approximately $1500-2000), which is considered a conservative allocation compared to his monthly profit of $430,000.
Why use a small position size? Because when facing a potential rug pull or liquidity depletion, a small position size can effectively control a single transaction loss. Data shows that he liquidated all his Shiba Inu coins on October 27, 2025, and heavily invested $300,000 in a new meme coin, indicating that he significantly increases his position when positive about a project, but maintains a small amount in his daily sniper operations.
His strategy revolves around small positions and high frequency. He can execute 10-50 sniper operations in a single trading day, each targeting different newly launched tokens, accumulating profits through high-frequency trading while spreading risks. Of course, AFK Master also experiences losses at times, with slippage being a hurdle for small capital, so he sets slippage at 100%, increases gas to 999, and enables anti-sniper settings.
This is the daily life of the "Staking Pool Young Pro."
Although many people are still accusing the meme market of being a sniper after watching the live broadcast of the "Staking Pool Young Pro," the "Staking Pool Young Pro" has already earned $430k in 30 days.
