## Summary

A 17-year-old trader documents his month-long experiment investing $500 in meme coins, achieving nearly $1,000 in unrealized profits through a combination of FOMO-driven buying and strategic profit-taking. He shares his trading platform, results, and a cautionary note about the risks involved.

### Key Points

- **Experiment Setup** [00:02] — The trader, aged 17, used a custodial account under his mom's name on Weeble to trade meme coins (altcoins) with an initial $500 investment.
- **Initial Purchase** [01:06] — On November 9th, he transferred $500 and bought about $50 worth of every available crypto, driven by FOMO from social media trends.

- **Top Performers** [02:10] — His biggest gainers included Cardano ($57.95 profit), XRP ($105 profit on $236 position), and Pepe ($56 profit on $168 position). ARB was the worst performer.
- **Profit Taking** [03:46] — He regularly trimmed positions to lock in profits. After a week, total profit was $572, with $161 realized. By month's end, he had $880 in total profit, peaking near $1,000.
- **Risk Acknowledgment** [05:06] — He sold most positions, keeping only small holdings. He warns viewers not to copy him, emphasizing the high risk and that he only invested what he could afford to lose.

### Conclusion

The trader made nearly $1,000 in a month from a $500 meme coin investment, but stresses the extreme risk and advises against replicating his strategy without caution.

## Transcript

right to be honest I had a whole script planned out for this video but to be money with mem coins and I wanted to see if I could do the same thing and I'm about a month and I got some pretty insane results I'm not going to lie and
for me at least might have to put the hood on it's really windy and cold you because if you don't know I'm only 17 years old and how do you trade if you're same one that I used to trade stocks on it's called Weeble they made a separate
this whole month that I traded this is the platform I use uh yes you still have trading under my mom's name with my mom's account I just have access to this with the account that's one of the only two ways you could do this if you're
custodial account I don't know any custodial accounts to offer crypto could do it if you're under 18 but if we scroll through this list of all the technically meme coins they're called
altcoins I guess when people talk about meme coins that you probably see on social media it's usually just like really recently created usually a very have been around they actually just added dog with P I didn't even notice
I was at the gym and I just got like a random motivation to just buy some crypto I don't know why uh I transferred $500 to my Weeble pay account honestly I people just making a ton of money and I was like it's really windy something
but anyways the money settled like right away after I transferred it so I just the cryptos they had at the time and bought about $50 worth of pretty much everything and let me go through my screenshots that was on November 9th and
was going crazy with the election and literally I'm not even joking within a few hours I was up on every single position so this first screenshot before buying anything was November 9th at 1:11 p.m. and then if we scroll 6 hours later
I was up on every single position I was already up $921 on cardano and the next day I checked my account and I was up $37 and I was so hyped so I just ended next few days and weeks as you can see this is the next day I was up on every
single thing again $15 on cardono and then you know shibba enu I don't even lie I have no clue what any of those cryptos are obviously not a super smart influenced by fomo and I think just by making this video I'm going to give you
fear missing out so I'll get into that in a bit but I want to go over this some that have made me the most money and then as it goes down it's just in order made or more money it's lost but at the bottom for me was ARB don't even know
position in one day after putting only like $40 or $50 in and I didn't really check that portfolio bit but I checked it 3 Days Later November 13th at 11:08 a.m. okay I was in class and I was up $132.6 on the day I was like what this
how is this possible it didn't even feel fair to be 100% honest you could see right here it says $1,491 but then on account value it says this point and I was already up over $100 uh that was pretty crazy like I
positions and then over these next couple days I continue to like trim off my positions take profit so as you can see my position value on Pepe was $168 35 $56 of which was profit which is pretty crazy for just a few days
like I'm a high schooler and this was a pretty big risk obviously I'm not going to put my entire net worth into these mume coins uh another few days later up $126 27 cents on the day I remember being in class like this isn't even fair
like people work all day for this type of money and I just made it for nothing my biggest gainer $15.7 then cardano $57.95 so xrp I think my biggest position just because it was one of the only ones that I had
see just like making a lot of money for nowhere pretty much every single day I up yeah xrp we could see here my position value was $236 and 105 of that was profit and this was less than a week or about a week that's pretty crazy
almost doubling in just a week and then here as we can see after about a week my total profit was $572 126 uh $161 of that I sold so I guaranteed that as profit but $410 189 of that I had so yet so it was just
still go up or down and I just continued to take profits you know but I still went up even more so I can make some more money again $ 43696 on the week doesn't feel like I've done anything or earned it at all and on
done anything or earned it at all and on the month at this point $631 77 again this here I ran a marathon around this time too it's pretty cool but then again November 29th so this is quite a bit later I was up $7.96 on the day decided
I had a position value of $36.98 this means I sold pretty much all my positions so I made $7.96 on the day with less than $300 invested not going think since then that I've sold anymore I've pretty much just been keeping a
but like even if they all went to zero somehow I would still end up profitable could still get some profit you know what I mean but yeah $880 for doing time frame says 3 months that's cuz I just took the screenshot and it's been
about two 3 months since this happened and at one point I think I was up almost 1,000 that's crazy a banned for doing nothing and my biggest Prof again was and this is kind of crazy my position value is $31 and $20 of that is profit
that means that $11 was originally invested and it's now at $30 so 3x is any of these alt coins or m coins anymore besides those small positions pretty comfortable with what I made and I don't feel super confident of them
just have those very small positions just in case and I'm saying that because this video and try and copy me just do the same thing I did and I definitely have positions is because you know I'm still up even if it all goes to zero and
not Financial advice this is what I would consider if I was 18 and did have chronically online and you use social media a lot there's a lot of Trends and invest into some m coins I know people that have made a ton of money like that
I also know people who have lost a ton of money it's extremely risky Actually I be a good idea like obviously with like chill guy coin or H or whatever I don't not do that once I turn 18 I might have to do a video trying that out though if
left a link in the description what happens is basically I get money when when you sign up so like I said they have two apps one's for crypto and then one's for stocks and ETFs and all that type of stuff so when you sign up and
they'll give you free stocks not like full shares but fractional shares I think I got like $15 $20 so I guess it's just free money and also when you sign win-win for both of us and that's why I'm plugging right now I'm just being
lot on this channel it's because I've been focused on short form content if Instagram it's l and LaVine I think since uploading this I've gained like make da in the life videos about like high school and stuff like that still
my income I'll definitely make some more videos about that because I've been you haven't already and I thank you so much for watching I'll see you guys in much for watching I'll see you guys in the next one peace
