He made millions shorting $LUNA before the crash.
Now his wallet shows fresh altcoin buys.
Here’s the full story and the altcoins he’s loading next
GCR is one of the most renowned traders in crypto.
Known as “Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth” on the old FTX exchange, he’s famous on Twitter for his sharp investment tips, spot-on predictions, and insightful writing.
From 2021 to 2022, GCR regularly ranked among FTX’s top traders, outpacing most and achieving some of the highest profit and loss numbers on the platform.
His identity is still unknown, but he says he started with almost nothing and built his fortune purely through trading.
1/ GCR’s Background
GCR keeps his past mostly private but has dropped hints about life before crypto. He’s shown strong predictive skills in political analysis on X.
He’s also been into sports betting and claims to have spent around a thousand hours researching longevity.
GCR made his name by publicly trading crypto in 2021 and 2022, building a huge, loyal following across multiple alt accounts.
But in early 2023, he went quiet, leaving X after posting, “This may be my last tweet about Crypto.”
His social accounts have been silent ever since.
2/ Early 2021 Crypto Surge
GCR predicted that 20 ETH in SHIB could turn into $40 million in five months. By May 2021, even just 2 ETH in SHIB could’ve scored that $40 million.
This was his first big post, revealing his early passion for meme coins—back when they were still considered highly speculative.
In April and May, GCR issued bearish warnings, pushing back against bullish takes like the “super cycle” promoted by traders such as 3AC’s Su Zhu.
He often took the opposite stance from the crowd, especially during the 2021 retail trader frenzy.
During the 2021 crypto mania, DOGE shot up 69,136% by May, reaching a $98 billion market cap after Elon Musk’s tweets—despite having no real utility as a meme coin. A lot of the surge was fueled by shorts getting squeezed.
On May 9, 2021—Musk’s SNL appearance—GCR shorted DOGE. He later pointed out that retail hype usually peaks around big events, letting market makers profit from the last burst of liquidity.
3/ “Big Short” – GCR 2022
After a wild October 2021, GCR slowed down in November while alts pumped. He took a break, but on November 22 announced he was “back and started shorting.”
Just two days later, he warned the top was in: “I’m confident we’re at the cycle’s end… Secure your profits.” BTC had just peaked at $69,000 on November 10.
Heading into 2022, GCR shared this advice:
GCR famously bet $10 million with LUNA founder Do Kwon on March 14, 2022, predicting Terra Luna's price would drop in a year.
@cobie (X)
managed the bet's custody.
GCR convinced
@stablekwon
to bet $10 million against him and used FTX derivatives to further short $10 million in LUNA perpetual futures.
By May 7, this position earned him $2.3 million.
4/ GCR's Future Predictions
Since late 2021, he's heavily bet on Donald Trump winning the 2024 US presidential election, stating, "The dumbest and smartest people know Trump will win easily."
Trump has remained in the spotlight in 2023, notably turning himself in at Fulton County Jail in Georgia on August 23.
In early 2023, GCR invested in over 300 "Milady" NFT despite some insiders finding the project odd.
When Elon Musk tweeted a Milady meme three months later, GCR sold around half but still holds over $890,000 worth in his public wallet ezekielx.eth.
A month before GCR left Twitter, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, causing USDC to briefly drop to $0.88.
Unaffected, GCR exchanged $4 million in USDT for USDC.
GCR on Twitter predicted crypto will thrive, offering new options in the digital age.
His optimistic tweet on
