A few days ago, I came across the message "CZ is the past, I am the future," and three coins with the same name popped up on the market: the original OG version, a newly launched version, and another one with obvious price manipulation.

At first, I was too lazy to get involved, mainly because I didn’t know which contract address to ape into. Then I happened to notice that a test wallet from a major exchange’s Chinese community swept the newly launched one, which had a market cap of only $200,000 at the time—that settled the address issue. It felt interesting, so I put in a 1% position to test the waters. Later, I took profits all the way out and did a few rounds of swing trading in between.

The whole process was pretty interesting, so I thought I’d record my decision-making journey this time.
