What's your best panel ever? 1.4K and you made 39 grand. That [ __ ] was crazy. This 21-year-old college fat boy makes $5,000 a day just by trading meme coins. This is Ethan aka Prosper and he turned $80,000 of college debt into half a million. He went from being his school's hottest DJ to being a school's richest kid. So, we flew all the way to New York City to go see if Ethan is really like that. Let's see. Tonight, [Music] [ __ ] All right, we're here at the crib, sir. Get a little tour. This is like the living room. You have two roommates. Three. Three roommates. This is my room. Yeah. I might not respond like this. But yeah, this is the setup. [Music] Cupcy stream open. Of course, you have to in this market. Give us the backstory then. You uh you grew up here. So, I grew up in Florida. Okay. I went to Paris 4 years to do high school and then I moved here for college. I did like 3 years of college here and then my parents had like some pretty big financial issues. So, I uh took up DJing actually. I met like right behind you. Oh [ __ ] Um, and then I got like a couple thousand, put it all into a Salana wallet. I watched your videos and uh Potion and then since then like I've just been fulling. I saw you uh you joined Potion December 24th. Yeah, I saw your first ever messages in there. It's just gambling. That's what you have said. Yeah, I like that. I mean, honestly, now that I look back on it, I don't really I don't really consider it gambling. I think if you have a set strategy, you can make it like non-gambly. What's your strategy? I do a lot of first TX, a lot of CT tracker plays, and then I kind of just bid everything that like looks good. I like to bid really early, sub 10K. Can you show us your P&L for this month so far? Yeah, absolutely. So, this month you're up 53 grand. That's really good. It's all right. What's your best piano ever? Damn, you put 1.4K and you made [ __ ] 39 bands off of one. Yeah, that [ __ ] was crazy. What else have you tried other than meme coins? Like, I'm sure you went down the internet side hustles, right? I started with sneakers about uh You have any gear that are Yeah. I mean, what do you got? All of these. Oh, you got boxes there? Yeah. All my clothes. I used to do sneaker reselling for like 2 years before, but after that I did I tried AI influencers. Didn't work much. Tried drop shipping like really quickly, but I feel like it's really oversaturated. And then Do you feel like Beme coins are really oversaturated? No. Someone who's never touched Bemecoin, this is their first video they're ever watching about this. You think they can still make it? 100%. 100%. I mean, okay, now the port like level that you need is a little higher because there's so much PvP, it's so much more competitive that it's like I think you need at least 10 soul to start. Yo, this is classic college kid right here. Yeah, it's so brat. You guys are getting wasted every Friday. No, I don't drink anymore, bro. Ever since I started trenching, I've been like redpilled, bro. Don't do anything. I don't leave my room. I just trench all day. I used to though. I used to DJ and when I was doing that to build up like the beginnings in my port and be able to put in the th,000 bucks you need to start like every weekend. So just go crazy partying college. All the crazy [ __ ] I did tonight. Those will be the best memories. I just want to let it go for the night. That will be the best therapy for me. Hey. Wo. [Music] Hey. Hey. [Music] Yeah. I'm making a change today. The lick been taking a pain away. I heard you was giving your chain away. That's kind of like giving your fame away. What's wrong with you? I sit in a box where I own this d. I get this text from me at 1:00 a.m. And you're like, "Pull up. I got my flight to Paris." And then from Paris, I took my flight last minute like, "Yo, when you were walking this every single day, did you think that you would end up doing memecoins?" Not at all, bro. It's like the last thing you would think of. Kind of just like came up. I mean, with the January craziness, I got in like a week before Trump. Okay. So, I didn't actually bid Trump cuz I was like too much of a noob to even understand what that volume was or what was going on. Yeah. I would have never guessed, honestly. It's like I think you just find what you're going to do in the most random of things. I was in class like not trading at all or not listening at all. I'd be like Airpod in one year listening to like back then it was like Jaylen streams. Where's the monies? Clippy on the beat. Huh? And now uh like it got to a point where I literally would just not even like study for tests or anything and it made no sense to go to classes because Did you ever Elon first TX while in class? No, but you remember that Prometheus coin that was my first big cook was in class made like $2,000. Do you have any pics or vids of like your [ __ ] laptop piano in class? Yeah, bro. I I'll show them. Oh [ __ ] We got to put these up on the screen right now. Yeah, that was my first like big piano and that's when I knew like, all right, if I'm forgiving everything, I'm not taking my test, I'm not going to like classes, I'm literally just doing this all day, I might as well just lock in and really fully just do it. So, uh, do you miss anything about college? Honestly, not really. Like I think the social part is probably something that will affect me later on cuz I'm not really I've only been doing this for like 4 months uh full time. All right. Nice to meet you, bro. Nice to meet you. What are you up to? Uh well, I'm filming this video. Okay. And then uh we're going to see a little bit. He's like one of your classmates. Yeah. Okay. One of the first people I met actually. And everyone here knows that you're like the meme guy. No. No. I keep that a little lowkey. So what are your goals, bro? Goals? Well, I want to hit a mill. That's like my nearest goal is seven figs and then from there I'll probably end up buying my first like little toy whether it's like a watch or a car and a car or like something nice. I want to move out of here. Where do you want to go? Probably Miami or uh somewhere more like sunny beachy. Um and then we'll see. Honestly, I'm don't really have an attachment here or anywhere cuz my family's abroad so I can kind of go anywhere I guess. What do your parents think about this especially with uh what you shared of like the struggles they went through? So, I mean, they're still struggling right now, but uh I mean I think they're very proud and it's good because I can kind of like take something off their back of like they don't have to take care of me. I'm fully independent and take care of myself and you know they don't have to deal with uh paying my college rent or anything and they can kind of work out what they're going through a little bit separately and I like to take that off their back. So once you hit like a fat piano, you're just going to help them out. Oh, 100%. That's the goal. All right, bro. We just finished touring your uh your college campus. That was pretty cool. What was your original plan? So, original plan was like kind of like everyone else, graduate, get like an cushy 100k job and like slowly climb the career ladder because that's what everyone around me was doing. What did you want to do though? Like be a lawyer, be a banker, just want to make money. Okay. Like ideally like analyst somewhere in like a hedge fund, trading, something in that style. So, I kind of what I do now, but obviously a little different. What do you think the old you would say if they saw you now? I honestly would be proud of myself. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be happy because like I was kind of following that finance path just because everyone around me was doing it. I got like this brainwashed when you go to like colleges or especially in the US. It's not like a bad thing because it teaches the majority who kind of need this to be very like safe and go through like one bet that works, but in reality like they like convince you that it's like all right, it's the only way to be successful. You have to get good grades. You have to apply for your internship. Once you do your internship, you go to your job. you go every day 9:00 a.m. to 5 and I don't know I just wasn't for me. I mean bro you experienced that though you were in college and I think dropped out. I was in college and I dropped out. Yeah. Anyone who doesn't know backtory I went to college one day. I went to one class. It was the most miserable experience of my life and I never showed up again. Yeah. I mean I wasn't making money back then. Like you dropped out making money bro. I was like I was one kid. I just did not want to show up to school. I mean I should have done what you did. Like I regret taking out those loans bro. I wish I had your like genuinely I wish I had your like uh motivation to just like one day just be like nah it's not for me. When I was starting off in potion and I mean literally like trading with you guys I didn't really believe in the like P&Ls. You go on Twitter and you see plus 100 soul, plus 200 soul, plus 50 soul, even plus 30 soul in the coin and it's like you think, "Oh, they're insiders. Oh, it's fake or it's bundlers." And like, sure, obviously that exists, but like if you actually watch these streams and these people, like they're just deadass good traders, bro. You already live life on the edge. So, uh, if we make it on time, we are doing a city climb over the building. Hell yeah. Have you done that before? Easy. Now, let's go do it. All right. So, we're going to do a couple of things in here. Put your necklaces, jewelry, watches. Yes. Everything. Enter. opportunity. [ __ ] my I got them chrome pants on. Just let it slip. Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already. Mom spaghetti. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs. But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down. The whole crowd goes again. Round two. Round two. Just grab his jewelry. But I'm taking his jewelry. [Music] All right, bro. I got a question for you. I know that the long hours of crunching can get to somebody. You consider yourself to be happy. I love what I do. It's so fun. It's like playing video games for a living. But if I ever go negative, which happens obviously day after day after day sometimes you just have some space. I uh go to a sauna, go to a hot tubs, and I just like pause, relax. You mentioned that, you know, you're you're here alone. Your family's across the world. You've got your two roommates who are, you know, college kids. They're not trenchers. They don't know what you're doing. You ever lonely? I would say so. I think uh I've been around a lot of people and I mean like I definitely you feel a little bit more lonely when you travel in trench alone, but uh I don't know. I meet a lot of people and honestly like being in a VC in a Discord call, you're still always talking to someone even if it's like virtual [Music] started pouring. We had fuckingwhere used to cop in Harlem. All of my econ [Music] driving so slow but BK is from Texas. Me I'm out that bad stop home of that boy Biggie. Now I live on billboard and I put my boys with me. Say what up the t top. Still sipping my top sitting on side dicks and that's give me hot. I'm spiked out. I can tr my attitude that I most definitely dream of something you can't do. These streets will make you feel brand new inspire you. Let's hear it. I made you catch me at the ex with OG at a Yankee game. I made the Yankee head more famous than a Yankee kid. You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a crypto, but I got a walking with my click. Welcome to the corners. [Music] All right, bro. The day is coming to an end. Yeah. Uh we just hopped off the chopper. He's taking us to the airport. Well, you're coming along for the ride. I am. You're going to have to walk home or come to Miami. What are we doing, man? Part two of the video. I mean, bro, before the video ends, bro, we didn't get to do any trenching. We tried on the chopper. Yeah. Did you get that on film? Yeah, I tried, but there was the reception was bad. Listen, bro, to anybody watching, whether it be meme coins or whether it be like any online side hustle they want to try. What piece of advice do you have for them? Find someone to watch. Someone like ONG, someone like me. Uh, study and put in the hours, bro. It literally is just all how many hours you'll put in, you'll be successful at whatever you want to do. Just never stop. Hell yeah. See, that's my advice. Where can they find you? You can find me at Prosper with a 6 PR 6SP on everything. Uh, main on Twitter, YouTube. Yeah. This is the story of Ethan aka Prosper, 21-year-old from Florida who moved to Paris, then came all the way back to the USA in New York City by himself and stumbled upon an orangey YouTube video, learned how to trade meme coins, made almost 500 grand doing it in 6 months.
