That night, I almost threw my phone
At three in the morning, I stared at the candlestick chart, my fingers trembling.
GNS had fallen from 0.579 to 0.389—a full third of its value. The group chat was full of despair. Some people were cursing the market makers, others were posting screenshots of their liquidations, and a few were saying they’d never touch futures again.
My name is Chen Lei. I live in Shenzhen and work as a backend developer at an internet company. I started trading crypto last year. At first, I only dared to buy BTC and ETH. A small profit was enough to make me think I was born to win. Later, I got impatient with how slowly the major coins were rising and started trading altcoins. Eventually, I moved on to futures, using 20x leverage. One day, I made three months’ worth of salary.
Until that night.
My friend Lao Zhou sent me the news about GNS’s plunge. He said the coin’s fundamentals were fine and on-chain activity was strong. This drop was just panic selling—the perfect chance to buy the dip. I checked the chart. At 0.389, it had certainly fallen hard.
But I didn’t dare buy. I’d just lost 8,000 USDT on my previous futures trade, and I still hadn’t recovered emotionally.
Lao Zhou said, “Look at IOST—it’s up 24% today. BAT is up 22%, too. The market’s recovering. You’re just too scared to get on board.”
I watched the chart for half an hour. At 0.389, the price was at a historically strong support level. The number of on-chain holder addresses was increasing, and the whales hadn’t fled. I took a deep breath and went all in, putting the remaining 2,000 USDT in my account into GNS spot.
As soon as I’d bought, I placed my phone face down on the table. I couldn’t bear to look again.
When I woke up the next morning, the first thing I did was reach for my phone. GNS was at 0.519, up 30% overnight. My account had grown from 2,000 USDT to 2,600.
But the story wasn’t over.
Over the next three days, GNS kept climbing, reaching a high of 0.579. I sold everything at 0.55 and locked in my profits. My 2,000 USDT had become nearly 3,000—a 50% return.
Lao Zhou later told me he’d made even more on his dip-buying trade because he’d bought at a lower price. But I don’t regret it, because I finally learned something: stay calm when the market is at its most panicked, and be greedy when others are fearful.
Of course, I know I just got lucky this time. Next time, I might not be so fortunate.
The scariest thing in crypto isn’t losing money. It’s thinking you’ve figured out the pattern.
I still check the market every day, but I’ll never trade futures again. I’ll stick to spot and take whatever I can earn. After all, staying in the game matters more than anything.
