Jerry: The P Player Earning A7 Monthly

How does a Meme player who can still earn handsomely spend a day today?

Typically, Jerry is already sitting at his desk glued to the screen by 10 a.m. His bed is right next to his "workspace," meaning he compresses the time from getting out of bed to entering “chain-sweeping mode” to within 1 second. In front of him are three screens: a central fish-eye screen with two vertical screens on the sides. This "layout" allows Jerry to efficiently check social media and monitor alerts while quickly executing buy and sell operations.

GMGN and 6651 are Jerry's favorite trading and monitoring tools; he spent a month DIY-ing these two, down to the size and color of the buttons, just to trade at the highest efficiency. Jerry likes to buy when the market cap of a Meme coin is at $10,000. When the monitoring alert goes off, Jerry presses the buy button for 0.6 BNB, and in some cases, he hits the "nuclear button" to stuff in 3 BNB all at once.

But most of the time, he sells the tokens he just bought within seconds; he claims that the shortest holding time is 2 seconds. Even in dull markets, Jerry trades dozens of Meme coins every day, and when the market is good, he buys and sells hundreds. Of course, he often does not remember most of them the next day.

This is Jerry's daily "sitting in boredom": Monitoring → Buying → Selling → Monitoring again. He generally repeats this routine until 2 a.m. During these 16 hours, Jerry does not leave his seat except to go to the bathroom, nor does he watch short videos; his biggest relaxation is chatting with other P players, who are also sitting in boredom, in group chats.

The time saved seems insignificant, but it hides a P player’s extreme pursuit of efficiency and responsiveness, as well as the secret that allows him to make money in today’s Meme market.

After a year in the circle, Jerry has become a somewhat well-known Meme player on BSC. According to GMGN data, Jerry (ID: Golden Dog Crane) ranks 12th on the 30-day leaderboard, earning a total of $112,900 in March, with only 5 days losing money, achieving a maximum winning streak of 13 days, and a single-day maximum profit of $14,900.

Since January 2026, Jerry claims he has earned his second A7 in the BSC Meme market in February and March; the first A7 came from last October’s “Binance Life Meme boom.”

Currently, making money in the Meme market is several times harder than in October last year.

First, the entire crypto industry has cooled down, many players have left the Meme trenches, and some no longer pay attention to Crypto; second, liquidity in the Meme market has severely shrunk, and market cap limits have dropped. A Meme coin with a market cap of $1 million is enough to excite people. According to Dune data, the Four.meme platform has created only a few thousand Meme coins daily over the past month, with less than a hundred successfully launched each day.

In such an environment, the market inevitably falls into extreme PVP situations. Jerry estimates that only a few hundred people are consistently engaging in PVP on the BSC chain daily; during good market conditions, the number may go up to a thousand. So, how can Jerry, as a fellow who also sits in boredom, become a general in this market?

“Entering earlier than others, being quicker than others, paying more attention than others, choosing angles better than others,” Jerry says this is why he can earn money, and it’s a universal rule for other P players to make money. The rest that can differentiate them is effort and details; compared to Meme experts like Afeng and Dairy Cow, Jerry believes he is not even that hardworking.

But what kind of narrative and angle can become popular? How to spot from numerous similarly named Memes which will become the final consensus is something even Meme players like Jerry cannot summarize into a universal standard. “As long as you buy enough Meme coins, you’ll naturally get a feel for it,” Jerry says this is called market sense. In practical trading, Jerry usually prefers to buy Meme coins related to hot news themes, zoo themes, and even those promoted through ground campaigns.

During our chat, he mentioned that he just bought “Jackie Chan's dog,” but he could only find one relevant video when tracing back, which did not prove its authenticity, so he sold it immediately; the entire process took less than a minute.

Jerry states that this P player strategy won't let him make a big profit at once, but it ensures that he won’t lose too much from a heavy position. During the internal phase of last October's Binance Life, Jerry actually bought in early, but he sold too early and ultimately only pocketed around $70,000.

In contrast to missing out on the big Meme dog profits, what frustrates and tires Jerry the most is when a Meme coin he genuinely believes in fails to get market recognition. “If a target I really like not only doesn’t rise but also causes me to lose money, it feels exhausting,” Jerry is not always an unfeeling Meme trading machine; he occasionally holds “long-term” and hopes for another large-scale wealth generation event in the Meme market for the community to win once more.

But what he doesn’t know is that the diamond hands who have truly made money in the community have also been forced to become P players.

Big White: The Diamond Hand Forced to Become a P Player

When there is no longer any external capital inflow into the market, Meme no longer creates wealth but merely transfers it. The internal environment deteriorates into a brutal meat grinder. The excellent P players become the butcher, while the rest become the fish and meat.

Last September, Big White met me because of the Meme market; in October, he caught the wave of Binance Life and reached a peak floating profit exceeding 1.5 million RMB, achieving a single coin A7. Although he didn’t cash out all his floating profits, he subsequently believed this market rewards builders and diamond hands.

Therefore, Big White's initial playstyle differs radically from Jerry's. He has a full-time job and while he pays attention to the Meme market trends daily, he doesn't pursue speed and efficiency like a P player; rather, he hopes to find good targets in the external market and collaborate with the community to build on Binance Alpha or even Binance spot. Thus, for Meme coins with market caps already in the millions or tens of millions of dollars, Big White will also commit significant positions if he believes in their potential.

After Binance Life, he consecutively heavily invested in various Meme coins like Life K-line and memes that he believed had narrative potential, but the outcome was always the same: short-term floating profits followed by a diamond-hand approach that he did not want to sell, ultimately leading to tangible losses. Gradually, the money Big White had previously earned from Binance Life dwindled to almost nothing.

“During that period, I basically bought and then got soaked; it was hard to P against those who were already monitoring from the internal phase,” Big White mentioned he realized at that time, the liquidity of the Meme market had worsened after Binance Life, but he was unwilling to admit it, always hoping, or rather fantasizing, for a target that could bring the Meme bull market back.

After January 2026, following several unfruitful community endeavors and continuous losses, Big White finally became disillusioned. “After that January market wave, everyone realized that those who build are fools, only thinking about quickly selling to the next person; Afeng became everyone's model,” Big White indicated that until then he still received private messages inviting him to build with Meme communities, but now there are very few.

Under such realities, Big White has transformed from a diamond hand into a P player, starting to learn to chase internal trades, lowering his focus to Meme coins with a market cap of $50,000. When the market cap rises above $200,000, Big White hesitates; if it reaches $1 million, he firmly does not buy.

Although his strategy has changed, Big White still fails to earn money as he wished. “I only make moves two or three times a day, so even if they are 10 times, it doesn’t add up to much,” Big White believes he can’t do it like Jerry, who sits in boredom; for someone stepping into middle age, balancing work, life, and blockchain PVP isn’t an easy task.

“At first, I worked during the day and stayed up late at night for blockchain PVP, it was really hard to bear,” insomnia, anxiety, and confusion plagued Big White. Later, he revised his strategy, still participating in on-chain PVP but no longer feeling such urgency.

Play Meme Regardless of Market Conditions

In the Odaily Planet Daily team, there is also a P player who, like Jerry, used to roam the Meme market. However, during a weekly meeting, he remarked that he last bought a Meme coin over a month ago, “I see what they are playing with every day, but I don’t buy; liquidity is poor now, and there is too little margin for error, I can’t P against them.”

This might also be the mentality of most players, waiting for the Meme market to improve before entering; when the market is bad, they hold back. But Jerry disagrees with the notion of “waiting for the market to get better before coming back”; in his view, Meme is never a game worth participating in only when it’s lively; if you only want to wait for the market to improve before playing with Meme, you will likely be the one stuck holding the bag at the end.

For Jerry, he doesn’t find “sitting in boredom” uninteresting and even doesn’t consider if he will ever bid farewell to being a P player. “I have a goal to earn $1 million because I heard that this is a threshold for wealth freedom in the USA, but even if I earn it, I will continue P-ing,” Jerry hesitated for a moment before continuing, “But if not playing Meme, what else can I do? It feels quite empty, right?”

Jerry firmly believes that Meme is the best way to make money in the crypto space and also considers P players to be the group of people with the highest acuity in the current crypto space. Even if any new narrative with wealth efficiency emerges in the future, P players will be the first to rush in.

You might say Jerry only feels this way because he has made money, but when I discussed with Big White about “whether he would exit the Meme market,” he fiercely denied it, even knowing that there are very few new players in the current Meme market.

When Big White started playing Meme, he also operated his X account (ID: @0xldb) and a commission program simultaneously. He currently has over 5,000 followers and a TG group of over a thousand members, but his Binance wallet and GMGN referral count are less than a hundred. This also indirectly proves that Meme coins can no longer create a wealth effect or attract outsiders into the crypto space.

Faced with an environment with no newcomers where he cannot P successfully, Big White still believes that opportunities exist in the future. “What we need to do now is protect our capital, keep our market sense and acuity, and believe that opportunities will certainly arise within a month or two.”

Jerry has witnessed even worse times; according to his recollections, in April and May of last year, the Meme market was even duller than now. “There were probably only about 100 people still P-ing on-chain; these people were all in one group cheering each other on.”

To some extent, Jerry and Big White represent the two types of individuals who have yet to exit the current Meme market: one like Jerry, exchanging time and speed for profits, able to secure considerable returns at this increasingly crowded and brutal poker table; the other, like Big White, having seen the boom and endured the pullbacks, yet still reluctant to turn around completely, keeping hope in their hearts.

Those who don’t play Meme don’t understand them, while those who do are enjoying themselves. From a higher vantage point, the entire crypto circle is no different; a small portion are making money, some are waiting, and many have already left. It is precisely for this reason that the warmth being emitted by Meme players at this time is the remaining warmth of a crypto space that has not yet completely cooled down.
