That early morning at 3 a.m., Lin Hao stared at his phone screen, his fingers trembling.
Three days ago, at the Binance Square, he came across a post. Someone said that the GTC project was doing an ecosystem layout for the gaming track, that the team had a background, and that the valuation was severely undervalued. At the time, GTC was only 0.11 USDT—its market cap was so small it barely registered, and even in his crypto交流群, hardly anyone was discussing it.
Lin Hao had just been tortured for a week by ETH’s choppy行情. His spot holdings were down 15%, and he didn’t even dare touch the futures. He only had less than 2,000U left. He originally planned to keep it and wait for the market to stabilize before adding more. But that post, like a thorn, kept digging into his mind. Before sleep, he tossed and turned, thinking, well, this money won’t turn into anything much sitting in spot—might as well take a gamble.
He bought 15,000 GTC at 0.12, spending 1,800U. After the purchase, he immediately regretted it, feeling like he was impulsively trading again. That night he slept terribly; in his dreams, candlesticks kept smashing downward.
The next morning, GTC had fallen to 0.10. He watched the floating loss of 300U and thought, it’s over—another turnip-operator move. In the group, people started cursing the post that recommended GTC, calling it a shill. Some said the coin would go to zero. Lin Hao almost cut his losses, but for some reason he just didn’t press the sell button. Maybe it was unwillingness. Maybe it was laziness. Or maybe it was some inexplicable hunch.
Over the next two days, GTC stayed in a tight range between 0.11 and 0.13. Lin Hao stopped checking it as much. He went to work when it was time to work, and he ate when it was time to eat. He felt that the money would probably be lost eventually—it was just a matter of time.
Until tonight, after he finished eating, he casually opened Binance. He saw the price of GTC: 0.2369.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have read it wrong. He refreshed it—still 0.2369. The 24-hour increase was over 100%. His 15,000 GTC was now worth 3,553U, nearly doubled.
Lin Hao leaned back in his chair, unable to speak for half a day. He remembered the 100x run he missed last year when he bought PEPE. He remembered the painful experience of chasing DOGE and getting trapped. He remembered countless times asking in the group, “Can we still buy now?” and then watching the coin price soar into the sky with his own eyes. And this time—he actually held on.
He didn’t know how much higher GTC could go, and he didn’t know whether tomorrow would drag it back to square one. But he did something he had never done before: he sold 5,000 GTC, taking 1,800U of his principal back out. For the remaining 10,000, he set a psychological target—once it hit, he’d sell; if it didn’t, he’d keep it.
The glow from his phone screen lit up his face. Lin Hao suddenly smiled. After two years of trading crypto, he’d paid an endless amount of tuition through losses—this was the first time he truly understood what it meant to “hold.” It’s not that every time you win, but at least this time, he didn’t lose to himself.
