Chapter 30: Process
Jack was slightly surprised and confused, but Liam’s offer didn’t really put him at a disadvantage.
He would still get what he was supposed to receive.
"This isn’t a problem. It’s just that as developers, we’re holding 61%, which is quite large. Besides, this isn’t even a company with shares..." Jack said.
"It doesn’t matter. This will become a major asset, no different from an investment company," Liam replied.
"Hahaha, if you’re that confident, then sure..." Jack laughed.
"Buy 10% first using your wallet, then send it to mine. Wait... you’ll also need a bot."
"Do you have money to subscribe?" Liam asked with a faint smile.
Jack shook his head.
"Alright, send me the bill. I’ll pay for it," Liam said.
Jack quickly nodded.
After a few taps, a QR code appeared on his phone.
Liam immediately paid, bought more MindChain, and transferred it to Jack.
The price rose again, surpassing a $200,000 market cap.
This encouraged some people to start buying.
However, Liam noticed something strange.
He couldn’t see MindChain’s highest price for today.
He didn’t know why—maybe it was simply a rule of the System.
He didn’t think much about it.
"Jack, I’m going to run ads on Dex for one week," Liam said.
Jack’s mouth fell open.
"That costs a lot of money..." he muttered.
"It doesn’t matter. I’ll even use a bot to keep trading non-stop until all $20,000 turns into fees."
"How much money do you actually have?" Jack’s eyes widened.
Liam only smiled.
He paid for the Dex advertisement.
This would keep MindChain at the top position continuously.
From his experience, heavy advertising like this would attract many buyers—even if people suspected it was a scam.
But Liam had no intention of scamming.
The price wouldn’t crash too hard, and new holders would continue pushing it upward.
Once the results were visible, who wouldn’t be interested?
Jack was left speechless.
The bot began generating volume, using the $20,000 to continuously buy and sell.
It controlled the pace carefully, avoiding unnatural price movements.
Once the ads went live, thousands of users started checking the coin.
"Damn... the Twitter community already reached a hundred..." Jack said, slightly breathless.
"Just keep updating it..." Liam replied calmly.
He wasn’t in a hurry to trade. Instead, he let the fees accumulate—especially until the entire $20,000 was converted into fees.
The price did rise, but not significantly.
Big investors were still not convinced. They would only believe once profits were actually distributed.
And with a 5% fee, buying was simply too harsh.
Minutes passed. Almost an hour.
The volume exceeded $700,000.
All the money Liam had put in was now fully turned into fees, while the market cap was still around $250,000, only about 25% higher than when Jack bought in.
It wasn’t that there were no buyers—
But after a 10% increase, people would sell again for small profits.
This cycle kept repeating.
Experienced traders could easily tell that most of the volume came from developer-controlled bots.
With such a high fee, even without price growth, the developer could still profit as long as trading continued.
"Liam... now it depends on you," Jack said.
Liam smiled faintly.
He saw that the accumulated fees had reached around $25,000.
Then he checked Bitcoin.
(7–8 PM)
(Current Price: 77,548.02)
(Highest: 77,935.99)
(Lowest: 76,771.01)
The hourly range was now clearly visible to him.
The upside was small—around 0.5%—but the downside could reach 1%.
Liam didn’t hesitate.
He went all-in on a short position with 100x leverage using the developer wallet.
The reason was simple.
Even if Bitcoin rose to its maximum range, it wouldn’t trigger liquidation.
With 100x leverage, liquidation would only happen if the price moved more than 1% upward.
"Liam... you...?" Jack froze.
The developer wallet of MindChain was fully visible on the website.
Every fee collected and how it was used could be clearly tracked.
This was unavoidable. Wallets might hide identities, but transactions were always visible.
Even without the website, people could still check what the developer was doing on-chain.
But since MindChain promoted transparency, it displayed everything openly.
Jack, who was monitoring it, clearly saw that Liam had used all the fee money to short Bitcoin—
At 100x leverage.
If Bitcoin rose just 1%, all the funds would be wiped out.
Liam simply smiled.
He had already set the take-profit through his bot.
No one could see that part.
But once it triggered, $25,000 would become $50,000.
After a moment of thought, Liam also opened another position—
A $100,000 short on the exchange.
Then he turned off his phone and placed it on the table.
He picked up some snacks, ate casually, and took a sip of his milk coffee.
Jack didn’t know what to say anymore.
Then he saw Bitcoin rise by 0.10%.
Instantly, 10% of the fee fund was gone.
Unlike him, Luna remained calm.
If Liam was this confident, then there was no need to doubt the outcome.
She no longer cared how Liam could predict the market so accurately.
What mattered was simple—
She was making money too.
