Kang Tae-joon transferred an additional 10 billion won to the exchange.
Then he bought Exit Two at 213 won.
*
It was 3 a.m. in Korean time.
Exit Two, which had been on an endless upward trajectory, suddenly took a nosedive.

[The plan to pay for Tesla with Exit Two was rejected by the board (tears)]
It wasn't a huge piece of bad news.
Not many people took Musk's initial vote seriously.
However, the market is always thirsty for news.
A small piece of news can cause a spike.
A small piece of news can also cause a crash.
This tweet was enough to justify a correction in Exit Two.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 229.86]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 223.72]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 217.35]
As Exit Two, which had reached 230 won, began to fall, fear of uncertainty (FUD) took over the market.
To take a small profit before it fell further.
To escape the fear of a crash.
Investors started dumping Exit Two.
Exit Two plummeted sharply.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 208.53]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 192.31]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 171.05]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 157.42]
The steeper the climb, the steeper the fall.
Exit Two eventually fell to the 130 won range.
All of this happened between 3 and 5 a.m. Korean time.
Shinyu-won, who had just woken up, was shocked when he looked at his phone.
However, his point of surprise was a bit different.
'Wow, it fell more than I thought...'
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 131.42]
131.42 won.
A 43.20% drop from the peak, a price that had fallen by nearly 100 won.
But a smile spread across Shinyu-won's lips.
It was justified.
Last night, he had sold all of his Exit Two at 228.56 won and had a good night's sleep.

As a result, 450 million won came into his hands.
"450 million!"
Shinyu-won threw a punch of joy into the air.
Left with 400 million, right with 50 million.
"400 million! 50 million! 400 million! 50 million!"
450 million won is enough to acquire Park Min-seok's cafe and have some left over.
450 million won is enough to move out of a 1.5-room apartment in a university area and into a fully furnished apartment.
Even that alone is a truly grateful and happy thing.
'But I can't be satisfied with this.'
The four-story building in Mangwon-dong he saw over the weekend still lingered in his mind.
450 million won is just the seed money to conquer it.
'Let's wait.'
Waves come and go.
Shinyu-won spent a leisurely morning, making and eating an avocado and salmon sandwich like a Hawaiian surfer.
'It was around 2 p.m., right?'
It was a sweet rest that only someone who knew the timing of the next wave could take.
To me, a car was a luxury.
"Delivery arrived!"
He ran to the front door and brought in two large boxes.
"Coco! Come here!"
Coco had practiced experience point farming, so he had done some online shopping yesterday.
There were a few conditions.
It had to be the best quality for its kind.
Otherwise, Coco wouldn't eat it.
It had to be cheap.
He was going to buy a lot and keep feeding it.
But with these filters, more items came up than expected.
So another condition was added.
It had to be easy to store.
For example, the best quality shiitake mushrooms delivered directly from the farm cost only about 3,000 won per kg.
But after Coco converted them from quality to quantity, the problem was how to deal with them.
What to do with a small refrigerator.
Also, it had to have both use value and resale value.
It would be good if he could use the items after conversion, and even better if he could sell them on the Hongdangmu market.
That's how he decided on this experience point farming item.
[DurEnergy Deluxe Alkaline AAA Batteries]
Cheap per unit, easy to store, useful for him, and easy to sell in bulk.
'Coco, electricity won't work, right?'
He kept feeding the batteries to Coco, who had approached.
Coco showed a not-so-bad reaction and kept eating.
──Kororororo!
"Where are you going!"
Coco seemed to be jumping around like a booster after eating the batteries, but the work was going smoothly otherwise.
'Ah, there are too many.'
He ended up in the battery business, but somehow felt proud.
'Let's eat a lot and grow!'
Then, when he briefly checked the Exit Two chart, it was still full of blue bars.

Kang Tae-joon had stayed up all night, staring at the chart with bloodshot eyes.
'Ah, my head hurts...'
Last night, after drinking heavily and returning home, he couldn't sleep at all.
Exit Two, which had risen to 230 won, had suddenly crashed.
"Really, I'm going crazy..."
The chart was like a waterfall, pouring down fiercely.
No matter how many times he thought about it, he should have cut his losses in the early morning.
The stop loss indicated in the leading room's signal was 183 won.
'If I had cut my losses then, I would have only lost 10%, and I could have slept comfortably!'
But it's hard to stick to principles.
Human desires often go against principles.
If I just hold on a little longer, it will rebound soon.
If it's just a temporary correction, it will spike again.
Kang Tae-joon stared at the chart, hoping and praying.
Meanwhile, the leading room kept sending messages, revising the previous signal and advising to keep watching.
But Exit Two, which had been falling sharply from 170 won, 160 won, 150 won, eventually reached the 110 won range.
The 2 billion won he had invested boldly was now cut in half.
"Shit..."
1 billion won gone in one night.
Kang Tae-joon was afraid.
If the psychological support line at 100 won breaks, who knows how much further it will fall.
And then he realized.
'This shitcoin!'
He also regretted.
What did he believe in, to invest tens of billions in this worthless 20-won shitcoin?
Ding-dong─
But the leading room's signal was a spectacle.
[@nylonmusk]
[The plan to pay for Tesla with Exit Two was rejected by the board (tears)]
"Good news? Bad news?"
"Shit, it's over!!!"
Kang Tae-joon jumped up and slapped his subordinate's head.
"You! Is that what you should say now! What? What?"
"Ouch! Ouch! Damn, shouldn't we cut our losses now?"
"Cut our losses? Are you crazy, you bastard!"
Cutting losses was not an option for Kang Tae-joon.
How could he cut losses on 1 billion won borrowed from Dong-pal-i?
'If I can't pay it back, I'm dead. Really dead.'
But then.
Bang-bang-bang──
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang──
Someone was pounding on the front door as if to break it down.
[Open the door!]
He knew who it was without looking.
He knew what they were holding without looking.
Bang-bang-bang──
[Get out here before I break everything!]
His pores opened up in fear.
Kang Tae-joon shouted in a hurry.
"Shit! Sell everything! Sell now!"
"What? What?"
"Are you deaf? Sell!"
"Yes!"
Kang Tae-joon rushed to the front door, grabbed his shoes, and ran to the balcony.
"Run! Or come with me!"
"Boss! Boss! What about the signal? Should we tell them to sell?"
"Shit, the signal is the problem now! Just leave everything and come!"
Like a scene from a movie, the gang jumped from the second-floor balcony.
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
But standing in front of them was.
"You told me to pump 1 billion won, and now why is the bowl turned upside down?"
Dong-pal-i, the mad pig who ruled the Suwon area.
"Shit! Run!"
After that, no messages were posted on the Crypto Wednesday channel.

Meanwhile, Chita was laughing.
"Delicious."
Shinyu-won, holding the mouse, was eating the gelato ice cream that came from converting the mart ice cream into high-quality.
He started buying.
The buying price started at 101 won.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 100.86]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 100.24]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 99.16]
The market was engulfed in fear.
The psychological Maginot Line at 100 won had collapsed.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 98.63]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 98.01]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 97.03]
By 4:30 p.m., Shinyu-won had spent all 450 million won.
────────
<Exit Two EXI/KRW>
Average purchase price: 98.75 won
Holding quantity: 4,628,861 EXI
Purchase amount: 457,100,000 won
────────
The average price was 98.75 won.
The holding quantity of Exit Two was over 4.6 million, more than double the previous amount.
It was a natural figure, having sold at 228 won and bought at 98 won.
'A big one is coming.'
Finally, at 5 p.m.
Musk moved again.
Ding-dong──
[@nylonmusk]
[Who said Exit 2 is a subway station name?]
Ding-dong──

[Let me introduce. The name of the next project for Mars colonization and interplanetary travel: Exit 2.]

[@nylonmusk]
[PS: I also plan to acquire the company developing the Exit 2 Token (laugh)]
It was a full-scale tweet bombardment, good news bombardment, and global bombardment!
"Nice!"
Everything was exactly as the scheduled tweets.
The trend had changed.
The 1-minute chart, which had been heading endlessly downward, lifted its head again.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 99.22]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 101.38]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 102.78]
As soon as Musk's tweet appeared, the strong resistance line at 100 won was broken.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 118.73]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 138.65]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 152.98]
The next day, 150 won was also broken.
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 173.73]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 193.65]
[Exit Two EXI/KRW 200.98]
The day after, Exit Two recovered to the 200 won mark, which everyone thought would never come back.
"Yes!"
A broad smile spread across Shinyu-won's face.
The price at which he had sold everything the first time was 228 won.
The price was close to that, but the holding quantity was more than double.
