Unipcs, otherwise known as Bonk Guy, has been one of the main characters of this cycle. Initially growing in popularity for his legendary $BONK $16K leverage trade on ByBit into 8 figures profit. He still holds that position and has held it through 7-8 figure downturns whilst paying a lot in funding.

He has also gained a name for himself within memecoins, especially more recently, pushing narratives for coins that end up reaching multi 9 figures.

Note: This interview was done with Bonk Guy in November 2024

How did you find out about Crypto?

i found out about crypto over a decade ago through headlines about Silk Road

at the time the impression i had was that BTC was some bad internet currency used to fund shady dark web operations, but the media kept talking about Bitcoin and the dark web and that made me very curious so i did some research

my research showed crypto to have a lot more potential so i started paying attention

memecoins really took off last cycle due to Roaring Kitty, Gamestop, and the meme stock movement + Elon Musk with his dogecoin push. while i traded a basket of crypto assets at the time, especially utility-focused plays, i felt connected more to the memecoin aspect of crypto and made a lot more money trading memecoins so i've simply done more of that since

Since trading crypto seems to be a side gig for you, what is your main occupation?

i'd rather not disclose this right now

i would also say that i have more than one 'main occupation' if that works (i wear many hats)

that said, i love my job(s) and i love degening and shitposting as a crypto rando and thankfully i'm able to do everything together

Do you have any advice or tips for those venturing into the world of memecoins, and leverage trading?

the best advice i can give to those interested in leverage trading is: STAY OFF LEVERAGE

if for some reason they choose not to heed this advice, the next best advice is: USE VERY LOW LEVERAGE

the lower the leverage you use, the better

while i'm widely known for some of my leveraged plays like BONK, WIF, etc, the reality is that i've lost millions of dollars to leverage trading and my best trades usually happen when i choose to become less greedy/overconfident and dial down the leverage

if you're venturing into the world of memecoins, my advice to you will be to prioritize three things above all else:

narrative: memecoins thrive on attention, so it is important to choose memecoins based on a narrative that people will be talking about for the foreseeable future. ideally, you want to get in on a strong narrative that is just starting to gain traction and not a narrative that is dying or that is yet to gain traction

community: memecoins can be very volatile. they also generally do not have underlying fundamentals beyond the attention around them. so you want to hold memecoins with a strong, cult-like community that adamantly believes their memecoin of choice is going to flip BTC, figuratively speaking, through these dips, and that will always go out of their way to get the word out about their memecoin

liquidity: you want your memecoin to be on an active chain that is used by a lot of people, you want it to have good on-chain liquidity, and you want it to be on strong t1 CEXs with a lot of users and buyer liquidity

i think the above three things are the most important things to pay attention to

When will you begin to start taking spot profits and close out the $BONK leverage trade?

i have been consistent in saying that i will consider taking profits on my memecoin positions when we get to mania phase

and right now we aren't even close to it at all

to give you an idea, we had two such phases last cycle: first was when DOGE hit ATHs of $88.8 billion last cycle during Elon's SNL stint and the second was when SHIB hit ATH of $43.5b last cycle

both periods were characterized by an heavy influx of retail into the space and random memecoins going to insane valuations without any valuable reason e.g. simply adding 'Inu' to a random name coin and having some b-rated KOLs shill it could send it to hundreds of millions of dollars in market cap relatively quickly during peak mania last cycle

i don't think we're close to this phase at all, so it's probably still far into the future from what i'm seeing... but we'll all know it when we get to this stage

In one sentence, what do you want to say to bystanders that have yet to enter the Crypto industry?

crypto is the future of finance, really
