Waking up in the morning, I checked the market and was taken aback. The entire crypto community is discussing the space dog $ASTEROID on chain
$ETH , which has skyrocketed over 10,000 times in the past two days. To be honest, my heart sank a little—this isn't my ten-thousandfold coin.
Actually, I have been on board before. On September 11, 2024, I jumped in on the first day of the launch and even added to my position later. At that time, I felt the narrative was spot on: space theme + a plush dog designed based on Musk's dog (Floki) + a little girl named Liv who loves space and is battling cancer. No matter how I looked at it, I thought this coin would take off.
But the fate of this coin has been very tumultuous.
Not long after it went live, the community leader dumped all their chips cleanly and then turned around to promote another coin on the official Twitter. The community was in an uproar, and there was a chorus of insults. What happened next? In a fit of rage, the leader directly disbanded the Telegram group. Thus began the first community takeover (CTO). Later, there were second, third, and fourth takeovers. The community really fought hard; everyone worked to promote it, and they even donated 2.1 billion $ASTEROID tokens to St. Jude Children's Hospital. Everyone was gritting their teeth, believing that if they could endure the hard times, things would get better.
What was the result? After more than a year, the market gave no positive feedback, and we failed.
In January of this year, little girl Liv passed away. Until a couple of days ago, someone on X posted the list of questions she hoped Musk would answer before her passing. Musk replied: I'll answer soon. In that moment, this coin, which had been silent for more than a year, surged over 1,000 times. The dead Telegram group suddenly saw a rush of new members.
The next day, Musk really did reply. Regarding the last question: Would you let Asteroid Shiba be the mascot for SpaceX? He said: OK.
And then, this coin completely exploded. Over 10,000 times.
The crypto world is just unreasonable like that. You stick with it through the darkest nights, and when dawn breaks, you've already exited.
Missed opportunities are just missed. Look forward now.
There are less than 2 months until the World Cup. This time, for the World Cup mascot $Clutch, I choose to believe all the way.
