From a capital of $1,000 to a wealth of hundreds of millions, GCR (Gigantic Rebirth) is hailed as the most mysterious and legendary trader in the cryptocurrency world. First of all, I want to say that this person is simply like a puzzle, hidden behind the screen, yet able to stir up waves throughout the market. You know, he hardly ever shows up, but every move he makes feels like a chess game, where one step can lead his opponent to a complete loss.

I remember very clearly his operation on SHIB in his early years, which really left people dumbfounded. He held just 2 ETH and stubbornly waited until the peak of the bull market, turning it into over $40 million. What kind of vision and patience must that be? Not to mention his public bet against LUNA founder Do Kwon; I remember scrolling through Twitter when I saw him directly throwing out a $10 million bet. My first thought was that this person must be crazy, but what was the result? He doubled down on his short position on FTX, and on the day LUNA collapsed, he directly earned over $20 million. Such precise judgment is not something an ordinary person can possess.

Now, let’s talk about his work habits; I heard he once revealed that he had almost no rest for three and a half years, with trading hours exceeding 120 hours a week. My gosh, can you imagine a life where you stare at candlestick charts every day, even dreaming about volatility while sleeping? He said he does it to seize every opportunity, but I always feel that such a pace would break anyone; not everyone can push themselves to be like a machine, right?

The person I admire the most is someone who can find patterns in chaos. For example, he once studied the on-chain data on Uniswap during the DeFi boom in 2021, spending a full three months dissecting the motivations behind each large transaction. How many retail investors have the time and energy to do such research? Perhaps it is these unknown efforts that have made him the GCR he is today.
