The groom ran away and hid in the storage room—the one who answered the phone was me Halfway through the wedding toasts, the groom disappeared. Eight tables of guests held their glasses, all staring at the empty chair at the head table. The best man rushed into the storage room with his phone and dragged him out from a pile of cardboard boxes. He was barefoot, with half a double-happiness character stuck on top of his hair. “Who let him leave?” I asked into the microphone. “I was taking a call.” His voice cracked, and the phone slipped from his pocket, hit the floor, and went unanswered. He chased after it, losing one shoe along the way. He ran barefoot across the red carpet, the sole scraping loudly against the floor. I chased him to the back kitchen, where I saw his father standing by the cold-storage door, holding a suit in his arms, his pockets stuffed with loose change. “Your dad gave this to you?” “No,” he turned back, his eyes red. “It was compensation.” A blast of cold air rushed out, and only then did I clearly hear his father yelling into the phone: “Fine, I’ll take the loss. Cancel the order.” He eventually came back, barefoot on one side, accepted the toast, and didn’t take a single sip. It was only after I answered that call that I understood: the groom had run off to take the call for his father. His father’s “I’ll take the loss” was about yesterday’s Solana candle. That stack of loose change was what his father had lost watching Solana’s price action, and the suit was the dignity he paid for on his son’s behalf. The double-happiness character stuck to his head was simply because he had rushed out and had no time to remove it.

There are two types of investors… One looks for the coin everyone is talking about. The other looks for the coin people haven’t started talking about yet. Personally, I lean toward the second type. That doesn’t mean every small project will become big… But sometimes the best part of any story is watching it while it’s still being written. For me, EGY is currently not a "completed story." And that’s exactly why I’m still following it. 👀 The question isn’t: "What will EGY’s price be tomorrow?" The real question is: "How far could the story go if building continues in the right way?" And the answer? No one knows yet. That’s what makes following it enjoyable. EGY/USDT — Gate Alpha Do your own research and assess the risks before making any decision.

I was just about to go to the forum and rant, but then I saw my balance and decided against it—the market is always right. While everyone else was running, I didn’t panic along with them. Before the market had fully taken off, the resistance above was obvious, and every rebound felt like doing push-ups. I judged at the time that no one would catch this move upward, so I went short at 78263.5. When I checked the market after lunch, it was at 77529.8, +164.44%. That was a satisfying bite of profit; those on board should have woken up laughing. I took +164.44% and left, locking in the profit; the remaining 20% is protected at the entry price, so I’ll let the profits run if it continues downward. Even if you only make one point, as long as you can take it with you, it’s yours; no matter how much unrealized profit there is, that belongs to the market. For those who haven’t boarded yet, take it from me: now is not the time to rush in. There will be more opportunities later, so don’t hurry. $SNDK $XRP
