I stared at GTC’s candlestick chart on the screen, my fingers trembling slightly.
Three days ago, this coin was languishing at a low of 0.118, like a corpse nobody wanted to look at twice. The guys in the group chat were all talking about SAND and when the metaverse might make a comeback. Nobody mentioned GTC at all. The only reason I noticed it was that I couldn’t sleep at three in the morning, so I casually flipped to the last page of the gainers list and saw that it was down 12% in 24 hours, even as its trading volume had strangely surged.
I thought, a coin nobody wants either goes to zero, or someone’s quietly accumulating it.
I took the last 800U in my wallet and bought in at market price. My average entry was 0.125. After buying, I put my phone face down on the table, pretending I’d made some insignificant decision.
The next morning, GTC was up 18%. My heart started racing, but I told myself not to get excited—it might just be a rebound. By the afternoon, it was up another 25%. People in the group started asking what kind of project this coin was. I pretended not to notice and quietly sent a screenshot to one of the friends I trusted most.
The third day was when things really went crazy.
At nine in the morning, GTC broke through 0.18. By noon, it was at 0.21. At two in the afternoon, it hit a high of 0.249. My 800U had turned into nearly 1,700U, with unrealized gains of more than 100%. I stared at the number, my mind racing with questions: Should I sell? How much? What if it keeps going up? What if it suddenly crashes?
I thought about buying RLC last year. Back then, RLC climbed all the way from 0.36 to 0.67. At 0.45, I thought it had gone up too much and sold everything. Then it doubled again. I learned something from that: when a coin is surging, don’t try to call the top—sell in stages.
This time, I knew better. I sold a third at 0.22, another third at 0.235, and placed a limit order at 0.25 for the rest.
That last order filled at three in the afternoon.
At the end of the day, I did the math: my original 800U had turned into 2,100U. It wasn’t a hundredfold return, and it didn’t make me rich overnight, but it was enough to cover two months’ rent.
That night, someone in the group asked if it was still worth chasing GTC. I smiled and didn’t reply.
In all my years trading crypto, I’ve seen too many people buy high and sell low, ending up with nothing. I’ve also seen lucky people get rich overnight, only to lose it all the next night. I’m no genius. I’ve just learned to take a closer look when nobody’s paying attention, and to keep my hands in check when prices start rising.
0.21144—that’s GTC’s price now. It’s fallen a little from its high, but I don’t regret it.
Taking profits off the table—those are still the four most valuable words in this market.
