Chapter Title: Battle of Red Cliffs
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While Choi Yang was preparing a fire attack in the community—Cao Cao's navy—I was reading the heavens atop the Seven Star Altar.
In my Post-Nut Clarity state, what I saw wasn't just a simple chart.
The market's flow, investors' psychology, and the massive trends unfolding ahead—all of it came into view at a glance.
No matter how fierce Huang Gai's fire ships burned, without wind, they were useless.
To completely incinerate Cao Cao's 800,000-strong navy, the southeast wind had to blow.
I began creating that wind.
Phase 1 - Gentle Breeze
9:00 AM. The moment Choi Yang declared in the community, "Charts don't lie."
I pumped buys worth 10 million won, pulling the price from 132 won to 134 won. A faint breeze, but a clear signal.
Volume: 30 million won → 50 million won (67% increase)
>
RSI: 67 → 71 (entering overbought)
💬 Community Reactions
— InvestorMentor
"Huh? It's really going up?"
— HODLer2021
"crypto_newbie123 was right!"
Phase 2 - Favorable Wind
9:30 AM. Choi Yang began rolling out the "RE100 policy" bait in earnest.
I executed continuous buys worth 20 million won over 15 minutes.
From 134 won to 138 won. Now the wind was truly picking up.
Bollinger Bands upper limit touched
>
50-day moving average fully broken
>
MACD golden cross formed
The technical indicators ignited one by one.
Just like the flags Zhuge Liang had set fluttering in the wind.
— CoinPro
"This feels like the real deal? Technically perfect too."
Phase 3 - Strong Gale
10:15 AM. Choi Yang completed the "us vs. them" narrative with, "The big players don't know yet."
Right then, I dumped 30 million won in one go.
Pulling it from 138 won to 143 won in an instant.
ATR surge: 3.2 → 6.8 (volatility explosion)
>
Volume spike: daily over 1 billion won
>
RVOL: 4.8 (extreme interest zone)
This was no longer just a rise.
It was the precursor to a massive storm.
— HODLer2021
"Insane! Up over 10% in one day!"
— InvestorMentor
"This might actually explode big time, right?"
Phase 4 - Eve of the Typhoon
11:00 AM. Choi Yang played his final card.
"RE100 policy announcement next month..."
That was the moment I'd been waiting for. The final condition for the southeast wind fulfilled.
I unleashed my prepared 50 million won in continuous buys over 3 minutes.
143 won → 147 won → 152 won → 158 won
A 20% surge in just 3 minutes.
The largest single-day gain in Helios Coin history.
RSI: 89 (extreme overbought)
>
Bollinger Bands upper limit fully breached
>
Volume: 1.5 billion won (7.5x normal)
The chart had gone completely mad, shattering every technical indicator in a vertical climb.
The southeast wind began to blow.
— CoinPro
"What the hell is this! Isn't this crazy?!"
— HODLer2021
"crypto_newbie123! You're a god!"
— InvestorMentor
"Shouldn't we buy more right now?"
Fire ignited on Choi Yang's fire ships.
And the southeast wind I'd created spread those flames across Cao Cao's entire chained fleet.
Just like when heaven answered Zhuge Liang's prayer for the southeast wind from the Seven Star Altar.
I was commanding the heavens of the charts.
Noon close: 158 won. +19.7% in one day.
The night sky over Red Cliffs blazed red.
Now it was time for the real war to begin.
The community descended into total madness.
Retail investors who'd witnessed a 20% surge in a day could no longer settle for small change.
— HODLer2021
"Crazy... Put in 1 million yesterday and already made 200k!"
— InvestorMentor
"This is the real jackpot. Why didn't I buy more? Regrets..."
— CoinPro
"Shouldn't we buy more even now? Policy announcement hasn't even hit yet."
Choi Yang didn't miss the timing.

— crypto_newbie123
"Maybe I was too timid... If I'd been more certain, I'd have bought way more. Is it too late now?"
— InvestorMentor
"But I have no money left... Should I take a loan and buy more?"
This was the moment. The perfect timing Choi Yang had waited for.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"Loans... Be careful with those. But honestly... I took a small credit loan and bought more ㅠㅠ"
— HODLer2021
"Whoa, really? How much?"
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"About 3 million won. Normally I never invest with loans... But this time I was so certain..."
The poison began to spread.
— CoinPro
"3 million? Maybe I should try... Card loan or something."
— InvestorMentor
"Yeah. When's the next chance like this? RE100 policy hits and it'll go at least 2-3x more."
— HODLer2021
"But is it safe? Taking loans and all..."
Choi Yang cast the perfect bait.

— crypto_newbie123
"I was scared at first too. But think about it. It's a government policy. Tech that conglomerates have to use mandatorily. Once it pops, it runs for years."
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"From what I heard at work... Seongsong's reviewing it internally. Not confirmed, of course."
Another bomb dropped. The mood shifted completely at the "Seongsong" keyword.
— InvestorMentor
"Seongsong? For real?"
— CoinPro
"If Seongsong jumps in... This'll be massive."
— HODLer2021
"Fuck, should I take a loan too? Got some mortgage room left..."
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"Mortgage? Wow... Low rates, nice. Mine's credit at over 5% ㅠㅠ"
— InvestorMentor
"Policy drops in a month anyway. Just hold till then, right?"
— CoinPro
"Yeah. Profits way outweigh loan interest. 10 mil loan at 50% gain is 5 mil profit, interest just 40-50k a month?"
Calculators whirred in the retail investors' heads.
— HODLer2021
"So 20 mil loan means... 10 mil profit?"
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"But... Be really careful. I'm so scared I can't sleep at night. Still, with the chart rising so clearly... It's a relief."
Perfect acting. The contradictory mix of anxiety and conviction bred even greater trust.
— InvestorMentor
"Seriously torn. Miss this chance and I'll regret it forever..."
— CoinPro
"Decided. Card loan 5 mil, all in."
— HODLer2021
"Me too! All 15 mil mortgage room in!"
Finally, the retail investors plunged into full madness.
Declarations of loan-fueled investing poured in.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"Everyone... Be really careful. Investing is your own responsibility. I'm shaking in fear too ㅠㅠ"
Choi Yang's acting—humble and anxious yet convincingly resolute at key moments—was flawless.
Now the retail investors were fully deranged, ready to max out loans and charge in.
Cao Cao's 800,000 navy was chained to their fleet, awaiting Huang Gai's fire ships.
The next morning, as expected, Helios Coin buy volume exploded.
First hour volume: 800 million won (4x daily normal)
New buyer accounts: +340% vs. previous day
The retail investors were truly rushing in with loans.
Now it was time for my final card.
Right as they dove into the loan frenzy, Choi Yang landed the knockout blow.

"Uh... Hold on. Seems like overseas reactions are coming in too?"
The bait was cast.
The madness-stricken retail investors' eyes lit up.
— HODLer2021
"Overseas? Where?"
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"I know some English, checked Reddit and Twitter... Helios is popping up."
— InvestorMentor
"Whoa, really? What're they saying?"
Choi Yang began unveiling his prepared materials one by one.
Posts Yura had planted days earlier.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"Reddit's r/CryptoCurrency has this post: Korean solar energy token Helios showing abnormal volume surge. Government policy announcement next month. Could be the next big thing in ESG crypto..."
The retail investors' excitement peaked.
— CoinPro
"Fuck yeah! Overseas knows too? This is huge!"
— HODLer2021
"ESG crypto? Means global attention!"
Choi Yang played his second card.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"And a crypto influencer on Twitter tweeted: Watch HLS. Volume explosion + gov support + ESG narrative. Korea's answer to solar tokenization. DYOR but charts don't lie..."
— InvestorMentor
"Influencer too? Follower count?"
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"Around 150k followers. Already over 200 retweets..."
Not entirely false.
Yura had actually tweeted from a fake account, boosted with bot retweets and likes.
— CoinPro
"Insane! 150k overseas influencer recommends it?"
The retail investors ignored sources or verification.
One thing burned in their minds:
Overseas attention meant global jackpot.
— HODLer2021
"Fuck, can't miss this. Bumping mortgage to 20 mil!"
Choi Yang detonated the final bomb.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"And... Helios chatter in overseas Telegram groups too. Chinese investors showing interest..."
— InvestorMentor
"China too? Whole world watching!"
— CoinPro
"All of Asia moving! When's this chance again?"
In reality, just simple mentions Yura dropped in a few Telegram groups via Chinese VPN IP.
But details meant nothing to the frenzied retail crowd.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"But I'm scared... If it spreads overseas, it'll really explode. Wish we'd kept it to ourselves..."
Paradoxical anxiety fueled even greater FOMO.
— HODLer2021
"Then buy faster! Before overseas money floods in!"
— InvestorMentor
"Yeah! Chinese cash comes, we can't compete!"
— CoinPro
"Feels like last chance? Tomorrow overseas volume might lock us out!"
Perfect. The retail investors entered full panic-buying mode.
Desperation that it was now or never gripped the entire community.
⭐ Key Post
— crypto_newbie123
"Everyone... Really be careful. I don't even know what's gonna happen now. It's gotten too big..."
To the end, feigning humility while signaling an uncontrollable jackpot had begun.
The next morning at market open, an unprecedented buy bomb hit Helios Coin.
First 30 minutes volume alone: 2.5 billion won. New account influx: +800% vs. previous day.
Average buy size: 5 million won, 10x prior week.
The retail investors had maxed loans and swarmed.
The "overseas reaction" final card had obliterated their last shreds of reason.
The conflagration began.
The Battle of Red Cliffs' inferno started with the coin YouTubers.
Seeing Helios Coin's vertical chart and exploding volume, YouTubers rushed to upload videos.
📰 CoinKingTV Video
"Everyone! Told you a few days ago to watch Helios Coin! See? Now look! 40% surge in 3 days!"
Of course, he'd never said that.
But editing magic repackaged a vague "watch solar plays" into pinpointing Helios.

"Wow... YouTubers know too. No longer a hidden gem ㅠㅠ"
Choi Yang kept the act going, mixing regret and pride.
Helios Coin ascended to another dimension via YouTuber videos.
No longer a hidden gem for the few—it became a national obsession.
Volume broke 5 billion in a day, price topping 190 from 180.
The entire coin community flooded with Helios talk.
The YouTubers' fuel met Choi Yang's spark, erupting into massive flames.
The night sky over Red Cliffs blazed completely red.
