A Taiwanese worker took a day off to stay at home and scroll through his phone, and accidentally won the Binance million-dollar Koi prize.

"I can only win wet wipes in convenience store lotteries for the rest of my life."

The person who said this just won the grand prize of Binance's eighth anniversary—an entire Bitcoin.

He is not a big name in the crypto world, has no million followers, and doesn't even participate in many lotteries. He is just an ordinary guy living in New Taipei, with a regular salary, who was recently "tricked" into joining the company by his boss.

That day, he took a day off to handle government documents and was still in bed around 8 AM. While scrolling through Twitter, he happened to see the Binance event and clicked on it casually.

Then, his life trajectory was rewritten.

The turning point from the low point and his grandfather's prophetic words: "You will soon have your first million."

B哥's start to 2024 was not smooth. He was unemployed at home for three months at the beginning of the year, and after finally finding a new job, he felt "fooled"—he applied for a technical position but ended up dealing with marketing copy and clerical tasks every day. The anxiety of the probation period and confusion about the future lingered. He described that state: "I work hard, but it seems like I'm always missing a bit of luck."

The turning point happened on an otherwise ordinary day. B哥 had just received his first paycheck from this new job and wanted to treat his parents to a nice meal to celebrate, but they had something come up. Instead, he brought some fruit to visit his grandparents, with whom he hadn't had much deep conversation for years. During their chat about investments, his grandfather, in his 80s, looked at him and said, "You have this little money now, and soon you will have your first million, and then your second million." B哥 thought it was just a lucky saying from the old man, laughed along, and didn't take it seriously.

Two days later, B哥 took a day off to handle government documents. Around 8 AM, he was still in bed in New Taipei, scrolling through his phone. On that lazy morning, he accidentally saw the promotion for Binance's "Eighth Anniversary Koi Event" on Twitter. With a mindset of "it doesn't hurt to try," he participated in the first day's challenge lottery—just one entry.

After the draw, he didn't check the results immediately, thinking, "I probably didn't win anything." About half an hour to an hour later, he reopened the page. The sight before him left him stunned—"Super Koi" was clearly displayed on the screen!

"My first reaction was definitely that it was a system bug!" B哥 recalled, "I logged out and back in repeatedly, refreshed several times, and the 'Super Koi Grand Prize' label was still firmly there. I stared at the screen, my mind blank for a full minute." In disbelief, he immediately took a screenshot and sent it to his most trusted private friend for verification.

When B哥 truly began to study this unexpected grand prize, he deeply understood the meaning of "Binance's eighth anniversary's biggest prize." This "Super Koi" prize was not just a single Bitcoin; it was a comprehensive, high-value top-tier crypto ecosystem package:

Core wealth cornerstone: 1 Bitcoin! Based on the current market price, worth nearly 3.4 million New Taiwan dollars. This is undoubtedly the core reward that changes B哥's financial foundation.

Platform core asset: 8 BNB! Binance's native token, worth about 180,000 New Taiwan dollars, which not only has intrinsic value but also serves as a passport to participate in many rights within the Binance ecosystem.

Zero-cost trading for a year: 888 USDT in spot trading fees waived! For active traders, this means saving potentially tens of thousands of New Taiwan dollars in trading costs within a year! This is a tangible, continuously released benefit.

Key to exploring the Web3 world: An airdrop of alpha tokens worth 900,000 New Taiwan dollars, allowing access to various benefits within the Binance Web3 ecosystem.

"Earn while lying down" high returns: Financial products with up to 50% annualized returns over 30 days, with a subscription limit of up to 260,000 New Taiwan dollars! This allows the winning funds to generate considerable additional income in a short period.

Limited edition customized merchandise: Unique physical memorabilia tailored for the Super Koi, carrying the sense of ritual for this stroke of luck.

Ongoing surprises: A whole year's worth of "mystery bonuses"! There will be continuous experiential services exclusively for the Super Koi, and this good fortune is still fermenting!

"Dad, I won a Bitcoin." "Are you sure it's not a scam?"

After confirming that he really won, B哥 immediately shared the good news with his parents. His father's reaction was very "pragmatic Taiwanese middle-class": "Is it real? Let's see the money first." This caution stems from a general wariness of online scams and reflects ordinary people's instinctive skepticism towards sudden windfalls.

This aligns well with the typical Taiwanese middle-class mindset—cautious, pragmatic, and not believing in free lunches from the sky.

But this time, the free lunch is real, and it's a super big one worth nearly 5.7 million New Taiwan dollars that even B哥 himself couldn't believe he could win.

In addition to 1 BTC and 8 BNB, there are also zero trading fees for a year, Binance Web3 ecosystem experiences, financial products with up to 50% annualized returns over 30 days, limited edition customized merchandise, and a whole year's worth of "mystery bonuses," transforming an ordinary worker into a "winner in life."

The miraculous turnaround during a low point in life

Before winning, B哥 was still experiencing a low point, "That feeling is, clearly working hard, but it seems like I'm always missing a bit of luck."

Then luck came, and it was supercharged.

But guess what he wanted to do first after winning?

Buy a sports car? No. Quit his job and travel the world? Also no.

Holding a crypto asset gift package worth nearly 6 million New Taiwan dollars, B哥's "wish list" was surprisingly simple:

· Pay for his parents to take a family photo in Japan
· Get a new Bluetooth headset (the current one is broken but still works)
· Buy an ergonomic chair (his back hurts from sitting too long)

When asked if he would quit or change his life, B哥's answer was very clear-headed: "I didn't quit, nor did I move. I still go to work, still take the subway. I don't want to become one of those people who 'inflate after winning.' This money feels more like it gives me confidence and options, rather than making me immediately overturn my life." He even admitted that after the excitement of winning, he studied the prizes and became "relatively calm."

The most low-key Super Koi in the crypto world

This Binance event claimed to be "the biggest prize for the eighth anniversary," with over a million global participants, but there was only one grand prize.

B哥 won it with just one entry.

Now he has opened an anonymous Twitter account, preparing to gradually share unboxing of the prizes. But he is determined not to show his face, not to appear on camera, and not to become an internet celebrity.

"People fear fame, pigs fear getting fat. I just want to quietly finish telling this story." Even after winning the super grand prize, B哥's pragmatic and low-key style remains unchanged.

He said the biggest gain was not the Bitcoin, but the mindset: "I used to always feel unlucky, but now I suddenly realize—oh, good things really can happen."

This might be the most laid-back Koi in crypto history. No crazy flaunting of wealth, no resignation declaration, not even a proper celebration.

Just an ordinary worker, on the most ordinary day, using the most ordinary way, won the most extraordinary grand prize.

And then continued to live his ordinary life.

Postscript

At the end of the interview, B哥 added, "By the way, can you help me roast my boss in the article? What happened to the technical position? Every day I have to write copy, it's so frustrating!" It seems that even a super Koi prize worth millions cannot cure the daily grievances of a "fooled" worker. This authenticity may be the most endearing aspect of this "most laid-back Super Koi in the crypto world."
