Some time ago, a trader's operation attracted a lot of attention. This guy used a principal of $394 to buy the dip and purchased 12.6 million GAS tokens. Later, he found the right timing to sell in batches, offloading 5.3 million tokens at a single transaction price around $98,800, earning over $42,000 in one go.

He still holds 7.3 million GAS tokens, which, based on the current price, amounts to an unrealized gain of $322,500. Overall, the return on investment has reached an astonishing 535 times.

This case highlights two interesting points. First, seizing opportunities during token lows; second, knowing when to take profits at high points. Top traders on the chain operate this way—they gain excess returns through keen observation of capital flows and precise entry timing amid market fluctuations. For retail investors, this operational mindset is worth learning—not to copy exactly, but to understand the underlying logic.

If you also pay attention to on-chain capital movements and trading trends, case analyses like this can help you better understand how the market truly operates.

$394 multiplied by over 500 times... That's just crazy. Are they really copying to the end or just extremely lucky? These kinds of cases look exciting, but how many can truly replicate them? The key is still having a good sense of market sensitivity.

$394 to achieve 535x returns? How much luck does that take? It's really not something most people can replicate.

lmao 394 bucks to 535x? nah this is the classic accumulation phase narrative they feed to retail... dude probably had insider signals or just got absurdly lucky on timing, not some mystical "bottom reading" skill

You can get 535 times with just 394 bucks, the level of absurdity is truly incredible... But to be honest, it's just about hitting the right spot, and luck plays a huge role.

$394 turned into 740,000, I couldn't quite grasp the math at first... Is it real or not? If you ask me, luck plays a big role. Buying the dip during a downturn is easier said than done. How many people can actually take profits in batches based on intuition? Most are still sleepwalking when it's time to cut losses. But it's somewhat interesting to learn from their mindset—just don't chase the highs.

$394 in, 535x out... This is just ridiculous, I'm still at a loss This guy must have been lurking for a long time, otherwise how could he be stuck in such a perfect low point Taking profits is really difficult for most people, I've seen too many greedy traders The key is that he still holds 7.3 million coins, that's the gambler's mentality, why not cash out everything? The flow of funds is easy to talk about, but in actual practice, it's all about luck and intuition But on the other hand, this does give retail investors a hint, you need to dare to buy during downturns I feel like this is a survivor bias story...
