A dramatic comedy of dreams, dips, and devastating red candles. Rohan, a 27-year-old crypto enthusiast, entered the market after watching a YouTube video titled, “How I turned $50 into $200,000 in 48 hours.” That was the exact moment his peaceful life ended. He downloaded every exchange app, watched charts instead of Netflix, and joined so many Telegram groups that his phone started heating up like a GPU during bull run season.
One late night, he bought a meme coin called ShibaDogeMarsX for a microscopic price. The exchange warned him: “This token is extremely risky.” But Rohan, filled with hope and stupidity, said: “High risk, high return!” Within an hour, the coin surged 300%. Rohan felt like a crypto billionaire. He shouted to his mom, “I MADE IT!” His mom remained silent. She suspected this was the beginning of a financial disaster.
The next morning, that same coin crashed 70%. Rohan panicked and ran to his friend Ajay, who had already lost money a year earlier and had become an expert in giving hopeless advice. Ajay told him calmly, “Bro, buy the dip.” Rohan bought it. The market dipped more. He bought again. The chart kept falling so fast that it looked like a cliff. His portfolio graph started to resemble a slide in a children’s playground—straight down.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin began crashing too. Everywhere, retail investors climbed rooftops, staring at the sky like dramatic movie heroes. One investor shouted, “Oh heavens, what sin did we commit?” After a long silence, the wind seemed to whisper, “Sorry… I will rise.” But the market did not listen. Every candle looked like a sword ready to stab their hopes.
The pain turned Rohan into a philosopher. Inspired by heartbreak, he wrote lines like: “Seven years trading coins, all in vain, First the car left, then the house went down the drain…” His family thought he was becoming intelligent. But in reality, he was just checking liquidation prices and crying internally.
One night, staring at the one-minute chart like a scientist, Rohan whispered, “Just one green candle… please.” Out of nowhere, a huge green candle appeared. His heart started racing faster than the market during a bull run. Before he could hit “Sell,” the candle instantly turned red. His joy vanished like his savings. Rohan slapped the monitor. The monitor emotionally damaged him back.
After countless sleepless nights, stress-eating snacks, and watching fake crypto gurus scream “THIS COIN WILL 100X,” Rohan finally understood a universal truth: The market doesn’t hate him specifically… It hates all retail investors equally.
He changed his life. He stopped staring at charts 24/7. He stopped chasing pumps and panic selling dips. He only invested what he could afford to lose. He learned to sleep peacefully even when the market wasn’t.
Today, Rohan lives a calmer life. But sometimes, at 3 AM, he wakes up and whispers to himself, “Should I buy the dip?” And his brain replies, “No, Rohan… wait till morning. It will drop even more.”
Because in crypto, one thing is certain— The bull goes up, the bear goes down, But retail investors… go round and round.
