Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 2
I had no goals.
I was just living a life that followed the actions of others.
Although I was not outstanding, I lived a life that aimed for the middle ground.
– Liquidated. –
“Ugh, d*mn…”
Until the coin appeared.
“Ha… This is crazy.”
The sudden appearance of a blue candlestick devoured my month’s living expenses.
My bank account had been empty for a long time, and now all I had left was one million won in my coin account.
“d*mn… wasn’t this supposed to be a rebound zone?”
I had been holed up in my room for nearly three years; my room, cluttered like a trash heap, mirrored my broken reality.
“If I could just recover the principal, I wouldn’t even look at this filthy place.”
The remaining balance was a mere one million won.
Compared to the principal, it seemed utterly pathetic, but because of that, there were ways to use it.
“Let’s just take one tick, one tick at a time.”
Tick trading.
Selling technique when the price rises by one tick (about 0.5%).
“Of course, 0.5% wouldn’t even be noticeable…”
The exchange had magic prepared for people like me.
Leverage.
It means borrowing other people’s money for investment.
“To overcome this situation, I have no choice but to take risks.”
My choice was a whopping hundred times.
Though I only had one million won left, the moment I multiplied by one hundred, I would become a billionaire with ten billion won.
When I had one million won, one tick was only five thousand won, but what if it became ten billion?
“Fifty thousand won per tick… If I succeed just twice, that’s a million won.”
The buy order was executed.
The buy order was concluded.
…
Reading the flow in the fluctuating chart.
Like surfing, I board the waves when they come and escape just before sinking.
Account status
– Total assets: 2,000,000
– Purchase amount: 1,000,000
– Profit: +500,000
– Profit rate: +50%
“First, recover the million won.”
As a result, within a short time, the principal had doubled.
If it continues like this, leverage is the best benefit supported by the exchange.
One might think it gives those who lack money a chance to make big profits.
But there’s one important fact.
A merchant never conducts a losing business.
There are two significant downsides to leverage.
The first is high fees.
Unlike conventional trades that only pay transaction tax, leverage requires paying interest on borrowed money in addition to transaction taxes.
As a result, there were many cases where the principal was cut in half just due to fees.
The second is the high likelihood of liquidation.
Even if the trading amount is one hundred million, my actual asset is only one million won.
Therefore, the moment it drops by 1%, it results in immediate liquidation.
– Liquidated. –
“d*mn it…”
Account status
– Total assets: 1,000,000
– Purchase amount: 1,000,000
– Profit: -1,000,000
– Profit rate: -100%
Because of this, leverage is far from just holding on.
It’s not the realm of a beginner who simply buys and waits for the rise; it’s the realm of an advanced trader who predicts an upward movement and buys first.
“And that’s what makes it even more fun!”
The thrill felt when it moves in the direction I predicted gives me a sense of satisfaction beyond just making money.
“Now!”
– The buy order was executed. –
Account status
– Total assets: 1,000,000
– Purchase amount: 1,000,000
– Profit: 0
– Profit rate: 0%
There are several things to be careful about when I’m trading in ticks.
First, I should never invest everything at once.
I recommend around 10%, and even then, I shouldn’t exceed half.
To withstand the increasing risk of using leverage, I need the habit of investing in multiple rounds.
– Buy order concluded. –
“This is it!!”
Account status
– Total assets: 2,000,000
– Purchase amount: 1,000,000
– Profit: +1,000,000
– Profit rate: +100%
Second, I must have a short-sighted view.
The goal of tick trading is not long-term investing but short-term trading.
Therefore, even if the chart shows a hopeful upward trend, I shouldn’t care.
“Wait, this chart is too pretty, though?”
Third, I need to let go of greed.
If it goes in a direction different from what I thought, I need the audacity to exit immediately rather than persist.
– The buy order was executed. –
Of course, this applies equally in rising markets.
+50%
Even in situations where a significant rise seems likely
+350%
If I decided to engage in tick trading, I need to exercise restraint and exit after just one tick.
+750%
“Let’s goooooo!!!!”
Account status
– Total assets: 17,000,000
– Purchase amount: 2,000,000
– Profit: +15,000,000
– Profit rate: +750%
The moment I disregard these existing principles, an accident is bound to happen.
“I’m going to Mars!!!!”
– Liquidated. –
“… What?”
Account status
– Total assets: 0
– Purchase amount: 2,000,000
– Profit: -2,000,000
– Profit rate: -100%
Thud.
That was the last memory of that day.
————————–
When I woke up, the world had changed.
It’s a commonly used phrase.
Often used when a war breaks out or an account crashes, but
“I don’t think there’s ever been a time when this saying fits better than now…”
When I woke up, I had become a woman.
Lying on the bed in a daze for thirty minutes to figure out the situation, I realized that nothing would be resolved like this and finally got up.
“Wow… it’s a mess.”
With a slightly lowered viewpoint compared to before, the scene of the disaster came into sight.
A desk cluttered with trash, and the monitor that had been on all night revealed my liquidation news.
“I need to clean this up…”
However, contrary to what was coming out of my mouth, my body was already grabbing just my mobile phone and heading out of the room.
As I exited my room and entered the bathroom, a glamorous beauty smiled back at me from the mirror.
A tiny face, and contrastingly large eyes.
A prominent nose and skin as white as snow radiated a beauty unlike anything in this world.
“Pretty face too…”
As I lowered my head, a large chest filled my view.
A size of br*asts that I could hardly believe was Korean.
“Is this even possible?”
Pushing aside the incredibly large br*asts, the hidden curves of my body came into view.
A firm abdomen without a hint of flab, big hips, and long legs made me feel as if I had become the goddess of beauty.
While admiring my changed appearance, a disturbing thought crossed my mind.
“But what happens to my real identity…?”
As my acquaintances had long disappeared, it wasn’t a concern, but the records left in documents were a weight on my ankles.
“From the government’s perspective, only the man I used to be knows about me, and the woman I’ve become won’t have any knowledge of it.”
From the nation’s standpoint, I was now an illegal resident.
There was even a possibility of being misunderstood as a thief who harmed the man I used to be and occupied his home.
“No! They’re both me!”
I felt anxious about the chase ahead with the police that was about to start.
Information was essential to escape the tightening net of investigation.
I tried to gather various information through my mobile phone.
“Hmm?”
When I turned on my mobile phone, a familiar lock screen appeared, featuring a selfie I had taken when I succeeded in investing in the past.
However, there was one thing that was different from what I remembered.
“Why… is there a woman in this photo too…?”
The main character in the photo had changed.
“This photo too! That photo too!”
As I calmed my shocked heart and checked the album, I realized that all the main characters in the photos had changed.
“Hmm? What about my memory?”
Experiencing the denial of the life I had lived until now was not an enjoyable experience.
However, as I considered the situation more deeply, I realized that it wasn’t a negative circumstance.
I had become a woman, and an attractive one at that?
This was more than just achieving the top three in public service exams.
It seemed like a smooth road was laid out in front of my life.
“Hahaha, goodbye to the past me who failed with coins. I’ll remember you as I become super-rich with my new life.”
In my mind, I was aboard a spaceship heading to Mars, stepping on a red carpet.
People who cheered for me surrounded me.
Warren Buffett, Tim Cook, Barack Obama, Elon Mus…
“You b*stard! Do you know how much I lost because of you!!”
The boiling anger brought me back to reality.
With it, the rising heat.
My overheated body began to crave moisture.
“Is there something to drink?”
I opened the fridge with anticipation, but only an empty space welcomed me.
“I didn’t really need everything to stay the same…”
Wondering if I should seriously wet my throat with tap water since there was no food or even water, I suddenly recalled the cliché I must follow after transforming.
“I should go to the convenience store and buy something to drink.”
The part-timer who looked at my face couldn’t take their eyes off me while I handed over my card and requested to check out.
“Hahaha.”
Imagining the scene where my self-esteem was rising, I couldn’t stop smiling.
I devised a perfect plan and opened my wardrobe.
“Ah… the clothes are still the same?”
A multitude of puppies in the wardrobe were staring at me.
The first hurdle in my perfect plan.
