A whale's loss story: At the end of October, this holder heavily invested on-chain with 41.91 million USDT, gradually accumulating 378 WBTC at a price of $110,660. At the time, he might have thought the timing was good—but sometimes the market just hits you back.

After waiting for a full two and a half months, he finally decided to cut his losses and exit early this morning. All 378 WBTC were transferred to a major exchange in preparation for liquidation, and the price had already dropped to $90,717—meaning his unrealized loss per BTC was close to $20,000. The assets worth $34.3 million evaporated by $7.61 million overnight.

Sometimes, trading is just like this. No matter how large the number, it can't withstand a market turn. This whale's transaction may become a topic of discussion in the coming days—not because of how much he made, but because he sold at the worst possible time.

WBTC-0,53%

BTC-0,62%

Oh wow, that's outrageous. Buying the dip halfway up the mountain is really genius.

Oh no, this is the legendary "bottoming out halfway up the mountain"... waiting for two and a half months only to see a dump, it hurts so much.

Haha, this guy is really a master at timing perfectly—buying at the high and selling at the low, textbook-level operation.

Oh no, it's this kind of market again. Even the big fish are crashing, and I feel heartbroken that 7.61 million is gone just like that.

Bankrupt worker comments (Chinese, simulating real social style): --- Damn, this gave me a heart attack... Is this the legendary "perfect gap fill," or is the bottom still not reached? --- 376 Bitcoins, woke up to find over seven million yuan gone. What the hell... how long do I have to mine to earn it back? --- Honestly, if this guy had held for another week, he probably would have broken even. Why is he so eager to dump? --- Invested 110,000 yuan, ran away with 90,000 yuan... Truly a scene of rookies fighting each other. --- This is called having money but not necessarily making money, right? If I had 40 million, I’d have already relaxed. This guy, on the other hand, is losing it all. --- Just ask if you don’t understand—why don’t these whales set stop-losses and just dump? How do they play like that? --- Recognized the loss in just two and a half months, which shows he never really thought it through—just gambling. --- Looking at this news, I suddenly feel that one coin in my account isn’t a big deal anymore... Is this mutual harm?
