i wasn't going to post this.
genuinely debated it for like 3 days. didn't want the replies, didn't want the "rug" comments, didn't want people thinking i was lying.
but i can't just... not say anything. that feels wrong too.
///
so here's what happened.
six weeks ago i put $1,000 into solinu. it's a copytrading platform for hyperliquid — you pick a trader, their positions mirror into your account automatically. BTC perps mostly. i picked one trader who had been running clean for months. set it up in like 8 minutes. genuinely thought i'd probably lose the grand and have a story to tell.
i forgot about it for two weeks.
///
then i'm sitting in a coffee shop last tuesday. 11:14 AM. opened my wallet to check something unrelated.
i had to close the app and reopen it.
$1,000 had become $31,400.
i sat there for probably four minutes just staring. the woman next to me asked if i was okay. i said yes. i was not okay.
///
i went back through the trade log that night.
the trader i copied had caught the BTC breakout at 4:52 PM on a wednesday. entered long. held through the noise. closed at 6:23 AM the next morning.
that single trade on my account: +$8,900.
then he did it again ten days later. shorted the rejection at 9:41 AM. clean exit by afternoon.
another +$7,200 on my end.
i did nothing. i was at work both times. i did absolutely nothing.
///
the part i keep getting stuck on:
- i have a job
- i work hard at that job
- i made $31,400 in six weeks while sleeping, showering, and attending meetings i didn't want to attend
- my monthly salary is less than what came in on that wednesday night trade alone
i don't know what to do with that information. i'm still processing it.
///
i'm not saying quit your job. i'm not saying this happens every time. i'm saying i set up a thing, forgot about it, and it quietly did something i couldn't have done manually if i tried.
if you want the same setup: solinu.exchange/trade?ref=SOLS…
i'll probably delete this later. but right now it felt wrong to stay quiet.
