Turned $500 into $30,000 on Zora: A FOMO Creator-Coin Win

$30,000 in one hour.

The Zora crowd is back with another FOMO wave.

See my previous post: Why Zora is rising? (4x since posting)

You won't believe it — every time I tell myself I won't post another "FOMO story," something happens that I can't keep quiet about.

This case is remarkable in my crypto experience for three variables: simplicity × speed × profit.

I woke up, ate, and was lying around watching YouTube. While doing that I opened our WW community chat and saw a message from @Dadalc (Dimda) — a link to a Zora profile VV (Jack Butcher's project). A creator coin with a $60k market cap appeared on my screen. Without a second thought I bought roughly $500 worth. Was that it?

The risk/reward felt intoxicating — like smelling the best dish in the world before tasting it, knowing your taste buds will explode with pleasure.

I know Jack Butcher's work (thanks in part to Kosta @alertnft) and I confidently deposited funds to my internal Zora wallet with the same thrill as a childhood game of tag where my best friend is about to touch my back.

My internal anti-gambler sensors prevented me from overbetting a microcap, and seeing I held about 1% of the token supply I thought that was enough. I went back to the chat and saw a message: "x10 exists, thanks." I didn't understand at first, refreshed the page and saw the market cap at $600k. From that moment I was zombified and did nothing but watch the chart and take profits gradually.

The position reached a peak of x150 and higher.

$500 → $30,000.

I laddered out and realized about $20k in cash. The remaining moonbag in tokens is worth $10k.

Watching endless green candles gave me pure, unparalleled ecstasy. Honestly — nothing compares. There is no other field where you can get anywhere close to this with such a low entry threshold and an extreme risk/reward. It's addictive.
