Chapter 51:Money and Talent Pour In

 Chapter 51: Dokdok Coin (2)

Stories about the Information Broker continued to circulate steadily.

The frequency had naturally decreased.

But it was still at a level that couldn‘t be ignored.

Title: Info Broker-nim, what are you up to these days?

Title: Aren‘t you doing any more short-term trades… ㅠ

Even if he hadn‘t shown his face for a while, the weight of his name had not faded at all. He had become a giant tree that wouldn’t fall from any ordinary shock.

Title: Everyone preparing cash?

Post content: I don‘t know when Info Broker-nim will come back. He probably sold his bio stocks and is just sitting on cash lol. Even considering he’s busy with real life, he‘ll definitely be back within a week. Even if it’s not short-term trading, just buy whatever he buys and you‘ll get 100% profit lolol. Everyone do some light short-term trades and chill while waiting!

[Comments]

Grangjo: Sounds about right lol

Chukseok: Yeah, it feels wasteful to just let money sit there lol

California: I still remember Info Broker‘s short-term trades. I’ve got notifications on, so the moment he goes live I‘m running over lol

ㄴ Grangjo: Man, that time I really felt what money copying was ㅠㅠ

ㄴ California: Sigh, this is more addictive than drugs. It still hasn‘t left my head lol

ㄴ Grangjo: You too? ㅠㅠ

ㄴ California: Of course lol Please, please come back and do some short-term trading, Info Broker-nim! Masked Man-nim!

ㄴ Grangjo: Long-term holding is fine too, just pleeease ㅠ

The news they had been waiting for so desperately arrived right then.

Title: Huh? The live stream just turned on!

Post content: Crazy, hurry up everyone! Go go go go go!

After that, the number of posts about the Information Broker started to increase little by little.

Title: Info Broker, long time no see lol

Title: Info Broker is doing coin trading!

Title: What‘s he gonna buy? ㄷㄷ

Title: Hurry and go watch Info Broker-nim‘s YouTube!

Title: But didn‘t he say he wasn’t doing short-term trades?

Title: Ah, I don‘t know! Let’s just go!

Thanks to that, the number of viewers quickly surpassed 500.

The chat was exploding and the viewer count kept rising. All kinds of IDs that had been hiding somewhere flooded the screen.

“Alright, everyone calm down first.”

He barely managed to settle the viewers and continued.

“Recently, Nikola‘s CEO mentioned that Bitcoin looks good.”

Altang: Did that happen?

God of Short-term: Thanks to him Bitcoin is on the rise lololol

MoneyMaker: Nikola? Never heard of it lol

“I only found out about them this time too, but they seem to be a pretty big global company. It would‘ve been nice if he had properly mentioned just one altcoin instead of Bitcoin though.”

There were about two minutes left.

He put Downdbeat on the main screen and talked about his current seed money.

“There are quite a few good coins, but nothing really grabs me, you know?”

God of Short-term: There really isn‘t anything lol

Altang: How much are you planning to buy?

“I‘m willing to buy up to 800 million won.”

He had spent some cash on a recent donation to a civic group, so his liquid funds had decreased a bit.

Still, it was an enormous amount of money.

Altang: Wow, 800 million…!

Pair Foot: I‘ve watched the seed grow from the beginning ㄷㄷ

Altang: I‘ve been here since the very first stream lol

SemiconductorGod: Bro, how much was your seed when you first started stocks?

The question from viewer SemiconductorGod caught his eye. Thanks to that, he recalled the day of his first broadcast after a long time.

“When I bought Power Edison, my seed was roughly around 260 million won.”

Altang: I remember that lolol

Pair Foot: Me too ㅎㅎ

“Altang-nim and Pair Foot-nim are true early members. Especially Altang-nim, you didn‘t listen to me at first and bought anyway, then it went straight to the lower limit, right?”

Altang: That‘s right lol You remembered!

“Let‘s go together from now on.”

SemiconductorGod: Bro, I‘ll follow you no matter what!

Altang: Me too! I‘m only following Masked Man-nim!

Newbie Investor: Looking forward to today too ㅎㅎ

“Thank you all so much. Anyway…”

10:59:57.

58 seconds, 59 seconds.

The long-awaited 11 o‘clock finally arrived.

“Are there any altcoins worth investing in right now?”

Pretending he knew nothing, he moved his hands quickly.

“Hmm.”

He hurriedly checked Stargram.

It was up…!

Just as the information said, a new post from Nikola‘s CEO had appeared. The sparkling ‘new’ mark felt especially welcome today.

“Oh, something‘s been posted. Let’s take a look.”

He translated the content.

Together with the viewers.

“So to summarize, it‘s saying that the name ‘Dokdok Coin’ is cute, something like that?”

The chat window turned into a sea of laughter.

Kalring: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Canvas: This is fucking hilarious lol What even is this lol

Altang: Saying a coin name is cute ㅋㅋ

Pair Foot: Well, it is cute… ㅋㅋ

SemiconductorGod: That’s a really random post ㅎㅎ

However, there were always a few quick-witted people among them.

Newbie Investor: Huh? Isn’t this good news?

Altang: Can this… even be considered good news? I’ve never done coins before lol

God of Short-term: Seems good for short-term trading? Let’s go short-term lol

SemiconductorGod: Who can’t say something like that?

Sugar: Exactly. Does the price go up just because anyone mentions it? Even if it’s just “it’s cute”…?

Newbie Investor: It totally feels like good news though…

Pair Foot: Calling it good news is a bit much lol

The atmosphere was starting to turn negative, so he thought it would be good to steer the mood a little. That way, the viewers would be tempted to buy in.

“In my opinion, this is quite a significant piece of good news. After all, the coin market is one where a single issue like this can cause prices to explode. Alright, let’s first take a look at what Dokdok Coin even is.”

He searched for it on Downbit, and Dokdok Coin popped up.

“The trading volume is on the low side.”

The market cap was also nothing impressive.

Current time: 11:02.

The price was still stagnant. But Ryu Seong already knew—this coin would rise 13% by 9 AM tomorrow morning.

“The chart doesn’t look bad. Since Nikola’s CEO mentioned it, I think it’s fine to buy. Even if it’s just a CEO of a global company, it should still have some influence.”

Altang: Ooh, if Masked Man-nim says so!

While they were talking, the price twitched.

It had rebounded slightly.

“It went up 1% in just a short moment.”

He couldn’t delay any longer.

“My senses are screaming at me. This one’s going to go up big. I’ll buy some before it’s too late.”

Without the slightest hesitation, he poured the massive sum of 800 million won into buying.

[Buy order filled.]

[Buy order filled.]

[Buy order filled…]

Because it was a low-volume coin, even Ryu Seong buying alone pushed the price up by 0.7%. Still, he decided not to worry about it too much. If he waited too long at the bottom, he might miss the upward momentum.

The coin journal was accurate.

After that, Dokdok Coin’s price climbed steadily, as if stepping up stairs.

The coin cafe was buzzing with talk about the Information Broker.

Title: I bought Dokdok Coin today…

Post content: What do you guys think? Since it’s the Information Broker, I just followed and bought anyway? I guess I should just trust and hold? ㄷㄷ

[Comments]

Upward Trend: It’s the Information Broker we’re talking about. Just trust and hold!

Hehe: Isn’t it rising right now?

ㄴNewbot: Yeah, it’s slow but it’s already up about 5%

ㄴHehe: Well, it does look kinda weak lol

ㄴNewbot: Did you buy?

ㄴHehe: Not yet lol I know the Information Broker is famous, but I don’t really feel like blindly following

ㄴNewbot: Too bad, it’s a chance to make money lol

ㄴHehe: If it makes profit again this time… then I’ll believe it, I guess ㅎ

Even so, it was clear that his influence had grown significantly now that he had become a well-known name. Far more people than expected were following and buying.

Title: It’s the Information Broker, you guys! Wake up!

Title: Did you already forget his last short-term trade?

Title: You should just buy whatever he buys, are you idiots lol

Title: Hoping for another money copy this time ㅎㅎ

Of course, there were also many who opposed it.

Title: Isn’t this a bit much though?

Title: Probably better to just watch for now?

Title: Will this really act as good news…?

With those doubts, the day passed.

The next day.

As soon as Ryu Seong opened his eyes, he checked the journal first.

[September 10.]

[13% rise by 9 AM KST.]

[After the fluctuation reset –9% drop.]

[Hits the lowest point at 10 AM, then continues upward.]

His goal was to sell before 9 AM. Then he could buy again an hour later at 10 AM and end the broadcast.

“It’s 8 o’clock…”

He could eat breakfast and prepare leisurely. After finishing everything and returning to his room, 45 minutes had passed. It was the perfect time, so he immediately put on his mask.

[Live Broadcast ON.]

As soon as he turned on the YouTube stream, the number of viewers increased even faster than yesterday.

“Welcome everyone.”

OneCanOfBeer: Whoa, what’s going on? Two days in a row!

Altang: Are you selling already?

“I’ll probably be streaming often while trading Dokdok Coin. Since it’s an altcoin, I feel uneasy just holding it long-term. It’s not Bitcoin or Ethereum, you know what I mean?”

Altang: ㅋㅋㅋ I know exactly what you mean

Newbie Investor: Agreed ㅎㅎ

Sugar: Hehe

“It has gone up quite a bit though.”

Ryu Seong showed the profit status.

Coin: Dokdok Coin (DDC)

Purchase Amount: 799,985,620 KRW

Return Rate: 11.76%

Profit/Loss: 94,078,308 KRW

Total Valuation: 894,063,928 KRW

He felt slightly dizzy.

“Uh… wow. That’s insane.”

Pure profit of 94 million won.

In just one day.

Altang: That’s what they call money copying…?

Jerong: Hehe, as expected! As expected from the Information Broker! So glad I followed and bought ㄹㅇ

NightQuiz: Congrats on the profit ㅋㅋ Me too, congrats!

Sunshine: I’m in profit too^^

Cheers from those who had followed and bought poured in.

“It looks like quite a few viewers are currently in profit. Congratulations to all of you. But it’s almost 9 o’clock now. You all know that Downbit resets the daily fluctuation rate at 9 AM, right? When that reset happens, coin prices tend to fluctuate wildly.”

CoinMan: Correct!

SweetPotato: That’s why a lot of people wait until exactly 9 for short-term trades ㅎㅎ

“Lots of you already know. Plus, Bitcoin is currently in a downtrend, so it’ll be hard to get positive influence. I expect the price to drop to some extent. Therefore, I will sell everything now.”

Ryu Seong placed a full sell order.

Unlike yesterday, there was strong buying pressure, so the price only dropped by two ticks.

That was just 0.15%.

Altang: Uwaaaak, I need to sell too!

Newbie Investor: Me too!

Pair Foot: Buying pressure is strong, so no need to rush the sell? But still, selling!

“That’s right. Even if it drops a bit, the price will eventually follow the US market. Don’t panic sell—just slowly sell before 9 o’clock. Trading volume has increased a lot since yesterday, so there should be no problem exiting. I’ll buy back in after 9 o’clock once it stabilizes. Until then, shall we chat? Anyone have questions?”

Clasp: Show us the movie investment status too!

Altang: Oh, I’m curious about that too!

Pair Foot: Does it show the expected return rate? ㅋㅋ

“Yes, it shows the projected return. Let’s take a look.”

He immediately displayed the investment status.

1. **Seoul War**

Investment: 50,000,000 KRW

Break-even: 2.32 million viewers

Expected Return Rate: 78%

Expected Profit: 39,000,000 KRW

The viewers were amazed.

CubeSugar: Wow, seriously… ㄷㄷ

BlackSugar: This is next level ㅋㅋㅋ

“Any other questions?”

Calendar: Um, then…!

Ryu Seong answered each one kindly and enthusiastically.
